7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Protecting People & Reputation

You'll spend your days thinking about how to prevent the next incident, how to make our workplaces safer, and how to ensure our company is seen as a leader in ethical operations. The idea of a major incident keeping you awake at night drives you to build more robust systems.

Successfully implementing a new 'Stop Work Authority' programme that genuinely empowers every employee, leading to a measurable reduction in high-potential near misses, and knowing you've directly contributed to people going home safe.

Shaping Enterprise Culture

You'll be driven by the challenge of embedding EHS into every decision, from the boardroom to the construction site. You thrive on influencing leadership behaviour, changing long-held assumptions, and seeing a genuine shift in how the entire organisation thinks about risk and responsibility.

Leading a company-wide initiative that results in EHS being a standing agenda item in every executive meeting, and seeing senior leaders proactively championing safety initiatives without prompting.

Strategic Business Impact

You're motivated by the understanding that EHS isn't just a cost centre, but a critical component of business sustainability, financial performance, and investor appeal. You enjoy linking safety performance directly to P&L, insurance costs, and market valuation.

Negotiating a significant reduction in our global insurance premiums due to demonstrably improved EHS performance, directly contributing millions to the company's profitability.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with executive teams who view EHS as a 'cost of doing business' rather than a strategic investment.
  • The slow pace of cultural change in a large, established organisation.
  • Navigating complex international regulatory landscapes and ensuring consistent application of standards.
  • Managing crisis communications and reputational fallout from incidents, even when they're not directly your fault.
  • The constant tension between operational targets (speed, budget) and uncompromising safety requirements.
What this role does not give you
  • Daily, hands-on site safety inspections or direct supervision of field crews.
  • A predictable, routine work schedule—expect urgent, high-stakes situations.
  • The ability to make unilateral decisions without significant consultation and buy-in from other C-suite members.
  • A role where you can avoid board-level presentations and external investor engagement.

8Who you work with

This role sits right at the core of our enterprise, directly influencing our licence to operate, our brand value, and our long-term financial health. You'll be shaping the company's risk profile, ensuring compliance across all jurisdictions, and ultimately safeguarding the welfare of thousands of employees and contractors. Your decisions here have a multi-million-pound impact on insurance premiums, potential fines, and the overall cost of doing business. Frankly, it's about protecting everything we've built.

Inside the business
  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team (CFO, COO, General Counsel)
  • Board of Directors (especially the Audit & Risk Committee)
  • Business Unit Presidents and Managing Directors
  • Heads of HR, Operations, and Legal
Outside the business
  • Regulatory Bodies (e.g., HSE, local authorities, international agencies)
  • Investors and Shareholder Groups
  • Insurance Carriers and Brokers
  • Industry Associations and Standard-Setting Organisations
  • External Auditors and Legal Counsel
  • Media and Public Relations

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of 15+ years in senior EHS leadership roles (e.g., Director of Safety, VP of EHS) within a large, complex organisation, preferably in construction or heavy industry.
  • Demonstrable experience managing significant EHS budgets and P&L responsibilities, with a clear understanding of the financial impact of EHS decisions.
  • Extensive experience interacting directly with Boards of Directors, C-suite executives, and external regulatory bodies, with a strong ability to influence and persuade.
  • A history of successfully leading enterprise-wide safety culture transformation initiatives and managing major EHS incidents or crises.
  • Deep expertise in global EHS regulatory frameworks and their practical application across diverse operational environments.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

AI/ML for Predictive EHS Analytics

Important within 12 months. Moving beyond descriptive analytics (what happened) to predictive models (what will happen) is the next frontier. This means using AI to identify patterns in vast datasets to forecast high-risk areas, activities, or personnel, allowing for truly proactive interventions.

Machine Learning Model Interpretation · Data Governance for AI · Real-time Risk Scoring · AI-driven Anomaly Detection

  • This quarter: Partner with our data science team to identify existing data streams that could be used for predictive EHS.
  • Next quarter: Explore case studies of AI in predictive safety from other industries or leading EHS companies.
  • Month 6: Sponsor a pilot project for a predictive EHS model on a specific high-risk area (e.g., fall protection).
  • Month 9: Evaluate the pilot's effectiveness and develop a roadmap for broader enterprise deployment.

Quick win: Challenge your EHS data team: 'What's the one thing we could predict with our current data that would have the biggest impact on safety?' Start there.

Cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) Safety

Important within 12-18 months. As construction sites become more digitised (BIM, IoT sensors, automated machinery), the line between IT and OT blurs. A cyber-attack on operational technology could directly lead to physical safety incidents. This requires integrating cybersecurity into EHS risk management.

OT vs. IT Cybersecurity · Industrial Control System (ICS) Security · Cyber-Physical Risk Assessment · Supply Chain Cybersecurity

  • This quarter: Meet with our CIO/CISO to understand our current OT cybersecurity posture and identify gaps.
  • Next quarter: Attend an industry conference or workshop focused on OT security in industrial settings.
  • Month 6: Develop a cross-functional working group (EHS, IT, Operations) to address cyber-physical risks.
  • Month 9: Integrate OT safety considerations into our enterprise risk management framework and incident response plans.

Quick win: Ask your IT security team: 'What's the biggest cyber risk to our physical operations?' Start building a relationship and understanding their world.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regular engagement with industry thought leaders and participation in executive-level EHS forums (e.g., IOSH, NSC, ASSE).
  • Attending executive education programmes focused on corporate governance, enterprise risk management, or strategic leadership.
  • Serving on the board of an industry association or a non-profit focused on safety or environmental protection.
  • Mentoring emerging EHS leaders, sharing your vast experience and insights.

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Climate Risk Integration into Safety Planning

Critical within 12 months. Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a direct safety risk.

Regulators are increasingly looking at how companies manage these risks.

  • Physical Climate Risk Assessment
  • Transitional Climate Risk
  • Climate-Resilient Design
  • Emergency Preparedness for Extreme Weather

ESG Reporting & Assurance (Advanced)

Critical within 6 months. EHS performance is now a core component of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, which is under increasing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and the public. Your role will be to ensure our EHS data is robust, transparent, and externally assured.

  • SASB/GRI Standards
  • Double Materiality
  • Integrated Reporting

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, at the C-suite level, your time is your most valuable asset. You're constantly juggling strategic vision, board presentations, regulatory changes, and crisis management. The good news? AI isn't just for junior analysts anymore. It's a game-changer for executive EHS leaders, freeing you from the mundane and amplifying your strategic impact.

Imagine shifting from reactive oversight to proactive, data-driven strategic planning and risk management, all while cutting down on the sheer volume of information you need to process. AI tools can help you synthesise vast amounts of data, anticipate risks, and even draft critical communications, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: safeguarding our people, our reputation, and our long-term business sustainability.

Enterprise Risk Modelling

Use AI to analyse historical incident data, project schedules, subcontractor performance, and even external factors like weather patterns or economic indicators across our entire portfolio. This helps generate a sophisticated, predictive 'risk forecast' that highlights systemic vulnerabilities and informs your strategic investment decisions. It's about spotting the iceberg long before it's a problem.

Board-Ready Reporting

Feed AI complex EHS performance data, incident reports, and compliance audit findings. It'll summarise key trends, identify critical insights, and even draft initial versions of concise, impactful board presentations or executive summaries. This drastically cuts down on the hours spent translating raw data into strategic narratives, ensuring your message is always clear and compelling.

Global Regulatory Scanning

Deploy AI to continuously monitor and summarise emerging EHS regulations, industry standards, and best practices from around the world. Get instant, plain-English briefings on how new legislation in a specific jurisdiction might impact our operations, allowing you to proactively adapt our strategies and avoid costly non-compliance.

Crisis Comms Drafting

During a critical incident, every minute counts. AI can help draft initial internal and external communications—from employee alerts to media statements—based on incident details and pre-approved messaging frameworks. This ensures rapid, consistent, and legally sound communication during high-pressure situations, protecting our reputation when it matters most.
