You’ll build strong relationships, provide real-world safety support, and help create a culture where everyone feels empowered to speak up, look out for each other, and go home safely every day. If you thrive on connecting with people, solving problems, and making a genuine difference on the ground, we'd love to hear from you.

- Support site teams and contractors during plant maintenance shutdowns.
- Assess contractor SHE plans and manage the Approved Contractor Register.
