This role ensures the
consistent and effective implementation of DayOne's EHS Minimum Requirements across projects, while recognizing and influencing

- Identify EHS maturity, capability, or cultural gaps and drive closure prior to site mobilization.
- Ensure onboarding balances global consistency with local applicability and practicality.
- GC Engagement & Relationship Management
- Act as the primary EHS interface between DayOne and the GC.
- Establish effective working relationships with GC leadership, supervisors, and site teams.

- Site Engagement & On‑Site Assurance
- Conduct regular site engagements, walkthroughs, and field observations to understand real work conditions.
- Engage respectfully with supervisors and workers across different cultures and organizational structures.
- Validate the effectiveness of EHS controls, particularly for high‑risk work, high energy identification and verification on effectiveness of critical controls.
- Reinforce stop‑work authority as a supported and expected behavior, regardless of local hierarchy norms.
- EHS Audits & Compliance Monitoring
- Plan and conduct EHS audits and inspections aligned with DayOne standards and regulatory requirements.
- Identify systemic issues, recurring conditions, and improvement opportunities across projects and regions.
- Provide clear, factual audit reports and track corrective actions to effective closure.
- Verify that corrective actions address root causes, not just symptoms.

- Prepare concise EHS performance reports for the EHS Director, highlighting:

- Performance trends
- Priority improvement actions
- Global Culture & Influence Responsibilities
- Demonstrate strong awareness of cultural differences in communication, authority, and safety practices.
- Adapt engagement and influencing approaches to different regional and cultural contexts without compromising DayOne's minimum safety expectations.
- Influence EHS outcomes without direct authority, particularly when working with external contractors.
- Promote a consistent global EHS culture aligned with DayOne values, while respecting local customs and working norms.
- Continuous Improvement & Learning
- Support learning‑focused reviews of incidents and near misses, emphasising system and condition‑based factors.
- Share lessons learned and good practices across DayOne projects and regions.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of DayOne's GC EHS governance processes, tools, and frameworks.
