• Coach, train, and mentor frontline employees and supervisors on safe work practices and hazard recognition.
• Partner with Operations to develop and implement practical, field-ready safety programs that support daily execution.
• Provide real-time HSE support during critical activities (e.g., start-ups, high-risk operations, incidents).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to track, report, and act on key HSE performance indicators.
• Participate in client meetings, site walks, and safety stand-downs as a representative of our commitment to excellence.
• Promote a culture of ownership and personal responsibility at every level of field operations.

What You Bring:

• 1+ years of experience in HSE roles within oilfield services, drilling, completions, or related heavy industrial sectors.
