• Quality of communication with client representatives and PAC leadership. 

• Compliance with applicable regulatory and contractual obligations. 

• Effective safety support contributing to successful project delivery. 

Role Expectations 

This is a practical, delivery-focused EHS position. The successful candidate is expected to utilise existing PAC Group and client safety frameworks, applying them consistently and effectively rather than reinventing established processes.
