HSE Manager

Key Responsibilities

1. HSE Framework & Governance

• Establish and manage the HSE framework applicable to all PDMC activities, aligned with project requirements and Hong Kong regulatory standards
• Define HSE processes, reporting mechanisms, and assurance protocols for design reviews, coordination activities, and site interface engagements
• Ensure alignment with client and authority expectations in a highly regulated project environment

2. Design for Safety & Constructability

• Promote and embed design-for-safety and safe constructability principles across all design and integration reviews

• Ensure that safety risks are identified early in the design lifecycle and addressed through coordinated engineering solutions

• Support PDMC scope in identifying safety and constructability risks across multidisciplinary packages

• Contribute to ensuring designs are fully integrated, coordinated and meet required safety and compliance standards as part of overall quality assurance processes

3. Design Review & Risk Identification

• Participate in and lead the review of:
  • Design safety issues and hazards
  • Interface risks across contracts and systems
  • Temporary and permanent works safety considerations
  • Method-dependent and staging-related risks
• Ensure safety risks arising from system interfaces and operational constraints are adequately assessed and mitigated

4. Site Interface & Inspection Support

• Support site quality inspection teams with HSE oversight, including safe deployment protocols and compliance monitoring
• Provide guidance on safe working practices in areas with complex interfaces, live environments, or restricted access conditions
• Ensure that site observations are effectively linked back to design and coordination improvements

5. Coordination with Project Teams

• Liaise closely with package teams, design teams, and quality teams on HSE observations arising from design reviews, inspections, and coordination activities
• Ensure that safety-related issues are tracked, communicated, and resolved across all packages and disciplines
• Support integration of HSE considerations into system coordination, design integration, and programme delivery

6. Incident, Hazard & Observation Management

• Ensure all incidents, hazards, unsafe conditions, and HSE observations are properly:
  • Recorded and documented
  • Tracked to closure with clear ownership
  • Analysed for trends and recurring risks
• Promote a culture of proactive hazard identification and continuous improvement

7. HSE Reporting & Assurance

• Provide regular HSE reporting to project leadership, including:
  • Key safety metrics and trends
  • High-risk activities and interfaces
  • Status of corrective and preventive actions
• Support project assurance processes by ensuring HSE compliance is demonstrable and audit-ready

Key Requirements

Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 12–15 years of HSE experience in large-scale infrastructure or major capital projects
• Proven experience in design safety, construction safety, and HSE assurance within complex, multi-contract environments
• Experience in projects with stringent safety, operational, and regulatory requirements preferred

Technical Competencies

• Strong understanding of design-for-safety, constructability reviews, and hazard identification methodologies
• Familiarity with Hong Kong safety regulations, authority requirements, and permit-to-work systems
• Experience managing HSE risks in highly interfaced, multidisciplinary environments (including civil, E&M, and systems works)
• Knowledge of safety integration within BIM or digital delivery environments is advantageous

Behavioural & Leadership Competencies

• Strong leadership in driving safety culture and influencing multidisciplinary teams
• Proactive and detail-oriented with a strong risk management mindset
• Effective communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Ability to operate in fast-paced, complex, and safety-critical project environments
