If you are also interested in turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good, then Jacobs is where you belong. We are looking for a passionate and dedicated HSE Manager to support Life Sciences North America (LSNA) project portfolio.

As part of our team, in this initial remit you will provide HSE support and leadership related to a project in Cary/Wilson, NC. You’ll serve as a partner working with project and construction management as well as the Line of Business (LOB) HSE Director to lead HSE excellence and contribute to and/or develop strategies to win pursuits which ensure no worker injuries or negative impacts to our client’s business continuity. We’ll ask you to support BeyondZero performance that is inclusive of the 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 LOB HSE Director, project and peer LOB HSE team members, and members of our Construction Management teams to provide technical resources guidance, to ensure alignment and to assure consistent implementation of HSE process tools that support LOB HSE strategic plans and objectives.

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

You will be charged to lead/support incident notification, investigation and reporting process, as well as facilitating injury management and return to work process. You’ll assist in developing Jacobs project specific HSE plans, review subcontractor hazard assessments and deliverables, and participate as required in operational readiness reviews or other forums relevant to project success.

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 BeyondZero 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.
