HSE Manager - DATA CENTRES AUSTRALIA

Build your future DOWN UNDER.

Are you working within the Data Centre industry and looking for sunnier climates?

As one team, CIMIC, CPB Contractors and UGL are supporting Australia's data centre sector, and we're expanding our data centre capability. We're looking to connect with experienced professionals from around the world who want to help deliver the next generation of hyperscale, mission-critical and advanced technology facilities.

Your opportunity

We need someone who can provide strong safety leadership while remaining practical, approachable and connected to what's happening on site.

Working closely with project leaders, supervisors and subcontractors, you'll play a key role in shaping how safety is planned, managed and delivered throughout the project lifecycle. You'll be a trusted advisor, someone who can influence decisions, challenge thinking when needed and help teams manage risk without losing sight of project outcomes.

This role is about more than compliance. It's about building relationships, coaching leaders, strengthening capability and creating an environment where people take ownership of safety because they understand its importance, not because they're told to.

If you're someone who can see the bigger picture, build credibility quickly and work alongside teams to solve problems before they become issues, you'll thrive in this role.

Key responsibilities include:

Partnering with project leaders and delivery teams to drive strong safety performance across the project
Providing practical advice and guidance on safety, risk management and project compliance requirements
Coaching and supporting leaders to build safety capability and accountability within their teams
Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and ways of working
Leading incident investigations and supporting teams to identify meaningful corrective actions
Monitoring project performance, trends and emerging risks to support better decision-making
Supporting training, communication and engagement initiatives across the project
Promoting a positive safety culture through visible leadership and genuine stakeholder engagement

What you'll bring

Experience in a senior Health & Safety leadership role within major construction, infrastructure or data centre projects
A strong understanding of high-risk construction environments and how to manage operational risk effectively
The ability to influence, coach and build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels
Experience improving systems, processes and behaviours, not simply maintaining them
Strong judgement, a pragmatic approach and the confidence to have challenging conversations when required
Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex issues into practical outcomes
A visible, hands-on leadership style and a genuine commitment to supporting people to work safely

This isn't just about joining a project. It's about building a career at the forefront of one of the most important infrastructure sectors of our generation.

If you are overseas and looking to relocate, CIMIC is happy to support you throughout your relocation journey, providing guidance and assistance with visa arrangements to help make your move as smooth and seamless as possible.
