  What you will be doing…

  The role operates within established policy frameworks, guided by the Emergency Preparedness Manager, yet offers significant autonomy for making sound decisions independently, crucial for managing unpredictable scenarios. Collaborating closely with the Emergency Preparedness, Fire Safety, and Incident Response Teams, you will ensure seamless implementation of emergency protocols to safeguard and respond effectively to incidents throughout the HPC project. Other responsibilities also include:

  • Develop and review emergency documentation, maps, and plans to ensure clarity and readiness.
  • Conduct emergency preparedness risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and enhance response strategies.
  • Manage and compile monthly data and statistics to track emergency preparedness metrics and inform continuous improvement efforts.
  • Update and maintain training records to ensure personnel readiness and compliance with emergency protocols.
  • Support the planning, documentation, and execution of emergency exercises to validate and enhance emergency response capabilities.
  • Maintain and manage emergency facilities, equipment, and resources to ensure operational readiness.
  • Collaborate with contractor emergency preparedness personnel/teams to coordinate and align emergency response strategies and resources effectively.

  Who you are…

  We’re looking for you to hold competent knowledge on Microsoft applications and thrive in digital environments. You should excel in creating and reviewing documents and have a proven track record in conducting and documenting risk assessments. Experience in organising and managing small projects is crucial. While familiarity with emergency arrangements, plans, policies, and procedures is a plus, it's not mandatory. Knowledge of construction health and safety practices is also highly valued for this role. Other requirements for this role include:

  • Masterful communication skills: adept at fostering productive relationships with contractors and responders.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication abilities: capable of conveying information effectively.
