Project HSE Representative; LSNA-NC

At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

We share a common purpose – to make the world more connected and sustainable. And we’re excited about the innovative ways we can change the world. If you are also interested in turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good, then Jacobs is where you belong.

As part of our team, in this initial remit you will provide HSE support and leadership to an EPCM project at a client facility in Durham, NC. You will be directly supporting the Project Manager, Construction Manager, and Regional HSE Director to lead HSE excellence and deliver a project with no worker injuries or negative impacts to our client’s business continuity.

We’ll ask you to support Beyond Zero performance that is inclusive of the Line of Business’ (LOB) vision and strategic plans as well as provide overall leadership, management and direction to the team and client assigned.

We’ll rely on you to take personal ownership and responsibility for protecting people from harm and for driving strategies and performance while supporting continuous improvement. You’ll own and maintain open communication with the Project HSE Manager and subcontractor team members to coach and provide technical resources and guidance to ensure alignment and to assure alignment with client and Jacobs HSE expectations.

By establishing working relationships, you’ll provide visible support and leadership to all Jacobs, subcontractor and client stakeholders by providing interpretation, training, technical review and support, and regulatory guidance to ensure alignment and consistent implementation of the Jacobs HSE program.

You will support the incident investigation and reporting process, including support of subcontractors in the collection and submission of relevant information to facilitate an effective root cause analysis. You’ll lead the administration/implementation of Jacobs project specific HSE plan, the client’s HSE expectations, and support subcontractors in hazard assessments and implementation of their own plans, as well as participate as required in meetings or other forums relevant to project success.

The travel anticipated with this role will be to and from the project site. Future project assignments may require additional travel within the US, and potentially North America.

HSE personnel for Jacobs LSNA LOB require the ability to cater successfully to multiple task masters – support of Jacobs staff in the field, a supportive but directive environment to ensure subcontractor success, a leadership style that role models and demonstrates a culture of inclusion and caring for our craft workforce stakeholders, and finally the development of a rapport, partnership, and a communication style which engenders confidence and trust with our client.

This requires flexibility, excellent communication skills across a wide cross section of stakeholders, empathy, commitment, and dedication to the delivery of a project approach which ensures workers go home safely every day. While administrative duties associated with a role such as this are many, to role model what’s expected and the delivery of Jacobs Beyond Zero culture, the real heavy lifting of this work is in the field where the work takes place and developing relationships with the team members delivering it.

If you’re up for the challenge, we’ve been looking for someone just like you.

• A professional HSE Certification and/or degree in safety, industrial hygiene, engineering or related field; or equivalent years of experience in lieu of degree
• 5+ years of construction HSE experience and in managing/supporting subcontractor safe work
• Experience delivering safety training, toolbox talks, and/or similar “outreach” and coaching
• Working knowledge in applicable regulatory compliance, as well as all federal, state and local agencies requirements
