Lead the site EHS team, coordinate with sub‑contractor safety officers, and deliver site inductions, tool‑box talks, and specialised safety training.

Oversee critical high‑risk data centre activities, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), live electrical testing boundaries, working at heights, and heavy structural/MEP lifting operations.

Maintain strict environmental compliance, managing site waste management plans, emissions monitoring,



and sustainability reporting requirements.

Provide clear EHS metrics and reports to project directors, client representatives, and corporate stakeholders, highlighting trends and regulatory changes.
