4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Divisional TRIR/LTIR Reduction
Total Recordable Incident Rate and Lost Time Injury Rate for your assigned division.
Target · Achieve a 10-15% year-over-year reduction across your division.

Your division's TRIR was 1.5 last year; this year, you're aiming for 1.3 or lower. That's a tangible improvement in preventing injuries.

ISO 45001 Audit Pass Rate
Percentage of properties within your division that pass their annual ISO 45001 audits with zero major non-conformances.
Target · Maintain 95%+ pass rate with no major non-conformances.

Out of 100 properties, 97 passed without a hitch, and the 3 that had minor issues had clear action plans in place within 30 days.

Near Miss Reporting Increase
The uplift in proactive reporting of near-misses and hazards across your division.
Target · Increase near-miss reporting by 20% year-over-year.

Last year, your division reported 500 near misses. This year, you're driving that up to 600, showing a healthier reporting culture and more 'free lessons' to learn from.

H&S Budget Adherence
How well your divisional H&S budget is managed against planned expenditure.
Target · Stay within ±5% of the approved annual budget for H&S initiatives and staffing.

You planned to spend £1.2M on H&S programmes this year and came in at £1.18M, demonstrating good fiscal control while still delivering on safety.

Strategic Influence on Global Policy
Your ability to shape and contribute to the overarching international H&S strategy and standards.
  • Regularly invited to contribute to global policy reviews, your recommendations are frequently adopted, you're seen as a go-to expert for complex international safety challenges. People actually listen to your advice, even when it's tough to hear.
Divisional Team Development & Engagement
The growth, morale, and effectiveness of your direct reports and their teams.
  • High retention rates within your team, positive feedback in 360-degree reviews, successful succession planning for key roles, and your team consistently delivering on their regional objectives. They're not just doing the work
  • they're growing.
Proactive Risk Identification & Mitigation
Your division's ability to spot potential safety issues before they become incidents and put effective controls in place.
  • Regular updates on emerging risks specific to your regions, evidence of new controls implemented based on predictive analysis, and fewer 'surprise' incidents that could have been foreseen. You're thinking ahead, not just reacting.
Stakeholder Buy-in & Collaboration
How effectively you get regional operations and other functions to genuinely 'own' safety, rather than seeing it as 'your' problem.
  • Regional Operations Directors actively championing safety initiatives, H&S integrated into operational KPIs, and other departments proactively seeking your team's input on new projects or changes. They see you as a partner, not just a cop.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference to Safety

You'll get a real buzz from seeing your divisional TRIR numbers drop, or from a site manager telling you how a new procedure you implemented saved someone from a serious injury. It's about protecting people, plain and simple.

Successfully rolling out a new Permit-to-Work system across 50 properties in a region, leading to a measurable reduction in high-risk work incidents.

Solving Complex, Multi-faceted Problems

You thrive on figuring out how to implement a consistent safety standard across countries with wildly different laws and cultures. It's like a giant, high-stakes puzzle where the pieces keep changing.

Developing a unified contractor pre-qualification process that satisfies both strict German regulations and more flexible Asian market practices.

Building and Developing High-Performing Teams

You enjoy mentoring your regional H&S Managers, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them succeed. Your success is tied to their success, and you get satisfaction from that leadership.

One of your direct reports gets promoted to a global role, largely due to the development opportunities and support you provided.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Safety vs. Operations' battle: Constantly battling the idea that safety slows things down or costs too much.
  • The Paperwork Avalanche: Drowning in contractor documents, knowing some of it is just a tick-box exercise.
  • The 'Culture of Blame': Trying to get sites to report near misses when local management just wants to hide problems.
  • Harmonizing the Un-harmonizable: Trying to create one global standard across wildly different legal and cultural landscapes.
  • Incident Investigation Cynicism: Putting in huge effort, only for the business to implement the easiest recommendations, ignoring deeper issues.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine with minimal surprises.
  • Direct operational control over how things get done on site.
  • An environment where every safety recommendation is immediately adopted without question.
  • A role where you can avoid difficult conversations with senior leaders or external bodies.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences the safety culture and performance across a major division, impacting thousands of employees and contractors. You'll be reducing operational risks, protecting our people, and safeguarding the company from significant financial and reputational damage. Your work helps us maintain our operational licence to operate in various countries, which is pretty fundamental.

Inside the business
  • Regional Operations Directors
  • Global Facilities Management Leadership
  • Legal & Compliance Team
  • HR Business Partners
  • Procurement Leadership
Outside the business
  • Key Contractors & Suppliers
  • Local Regulatory Bodies (e.g., HSE, OSHA equivalents)
  • Insurance Providers
  • Industry Associations

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience leading and managing H&S teams across multiple sites or regions.
  • Demonstrable track record of developing and implementing H&S strategies that drive measurable improvements in safety performance.
  • Extensive experience with ISO 45001 implementation, auditing, and maintenance in a complex organisational setting.
  • Deep understanding of global H&S regulatory frameworks and the ability to navigate conflicting requirements.
  • Strong financial acumen, including managing significant departmental budgets and demonstrating ROI for safety investments.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Predictive Analytics for H&S

The ability to predict where and when incidents are most likely to occur, based on a wide range of operational and environmental data, will be a game-changer. This moves us from reacting to incidents to actively preventing them.

Machine learning models for risk scoring · Integration of IoT and sensor data · Statistical anomaly detection · Ethical considerations of predictive safety

  • This quarter: Take an online course on basic machine learning concepts and predictive modelling (e.g., Coursera, edX).
  • Next 6 months: Work with our Data Analytics team to explore how existing operational data (e.g., maintenance logs, building occupancy) could be integrated with H&S data for predictive insights.
  • Within a year: Develop a proof-of-concept for a predictive risk model for a specific type of property or operational task within your division.
  • Ongoing: Stay updated on industry best practices and case studies for predictive H&S.

Quick win: Start by identifying 2-3 key data points (e.g., age of equipment, number of work orders) that you believe correlate with incidents, and begin tracking them more closely to see if your intuition holds up.

ESG Reporting & H&S Integration

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is becoming critical for investor relations and corporate reputation. H&S performance is a huge component of the 'Social' pillar, and you'll need to ensure our H&S data and narratives seamlessly integrate into our broader ESG disclosures.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards · Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) · Materiality assessments · Data assurance for ESG metrics

  • This quarter: Read our company's latest ESG report and identify how H&S is currently represented. Understand the gaps.
  • Next 6 months: Connect with our Sustainability/ESG team to understand their reporting cycle and data requirements. Offer your H&S expertise.
  • Within a year: Lead an initiative to improve the quality and scope of H&S data collected for ESG reporting within your division.
  • Ongoing: Attend webinars or workshops on ESG reporting trends and H&S's role within them.

Quick win: Review the H&S section of our current ESG report and propose 2-3 immediate, low-effort improvements to the narrative or data presentation.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending international H&S conferences and webinars (e.g., IOSH, NSC, ASSE) to stay current on global trends and best practices.
  • Participating in industry working groups or committees focused on H&S in real estate or facilities management.
  • Undertaking continuous professional development (CPD) to maintain professional body memberships and enhance specialist knowledge.
  • Engaging in leadership development programmes to hone your strategic influence and team management skills.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration for H&S

Competitors are already using Large Language Models (LLMs) to draft incident reports, summarise legislation, and even generate training materials in a fraction of the time it used to take. H&S leaders who figure this out will outproduce their peers and free up their team's time for higher-value work.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how International Health and Safety Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Manage Health and Safety in own area of responsibilityLevel 5

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, leading international H&S is a massive job. You're juggling strategy, team management, incident response, and a mountain of global compliance. What if you could cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters – protecting people and driving real change? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing your expertise, but about giving you a serious edge. Imagine an AI assistant that handles the grunt work, spots patterns you might miss, and keeps you ahead of the curve. This isn't just theory; it's already helping our H&S leaders free up significant time for strategic thinking and on-the-ground impact.

Automated RAMS Review

Use an AI tool to automatically scan contractor Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for completeness, checking for required signatures, valid insurance, and key risk controls. It flags anything missing or suspicious, so your team only reviews the exceptions, saving hours of tedious checking.

Predictive Risk Hot-Spotting

AI analyses thousands of past incident reports, near misses, and audit findings, correlating them with factors like property type, age, and contractor performance. It then predicts which sites in your division are at the highest risk of a future incident, allowing you to proactively deploy resources and prevent problems before they happen.

Global Legislation Summariser

An LLM monitors and provides weekly, plain-language summaries of changes to H&S legislation across the 30+ countries we operate in. It highlights specific impacts on our corporate standards and procedures, saving you and your team countless hours of legal research and interpretation.

Instant Incident Alert Drafting

An AI assistant drafts initial safety alerts and communications based on structured data from an incident report. It can generate a concise summary for executives, a detailed alert for peer facilities, and even a script for a toolbox talk in minutes, ensuring rapid and consistent communication during a crisis.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an International Health and Safety Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 13 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an International Health and Safety Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Realestate Facilities Management

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

Your expertise in international H&S within real estate and facilities management is highly transferable. You could move into similar senior roles in other asset-heavy industries like manufacturing, logistics, construction, or even large-scale retail, where managing diverse operational risks and large property portfolios is key.
