Participate in working groups and steerco’s to represent the regional direction.
Oversee and manage all HSE reporting requirements, providing regular updates to regional leadership, Brambles, and external bodies.
Engage in risk assessments to identify safety, security, business interruption and environmental risks, developing and executing plans to mitigate those risks.

Track, analyze, and interpret incident data and trends, using insights to recommend targeted actions that reduce risk and improve performance.

Maintain accurate, reliable HSE metrics, producing clear and actionable monthly and quarterly reports for leadership.
