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.

Corrective Action Closure Rate

The percentage of high-priority corrective actions (from audits or incidents) that are closed out within the agreed timeframe.

Target · 90% closure rate for high-priority actions

After a Q1 audit, 15 high-priority actions were identified. You ensure 14 are closed by the Q2 deadline, hitting 93%.

Near Miss & Good Catch Reporting Rate

The number of proactive hazard reports (near misses and good catches) submitted per 1,000 employee hours.

Target · 25% increase year-on-year in reports

Last year, we had 100 reports. This year, you've helped us get to 125, showing a more proactive safety culture.

H&S Training Completion Rates

The percentage of mandatory H&S training modules completed by relevant employees and contractors in your assigned region/portfolio.

Target · 95% completion for mandatory modules

For the Q2 fire warden training, 190 out of 200 assigned staff completed it, hitting 95%.

Audit Score Improvement

The average score on internal H&S management system audits for your designated properties/region.

Target · Average score of 90%+ on internal audits

Your portfolio's average internal audit score improved from 85% to 92% over the last year, showing real progress.

Effectiveness of Incident Investigations

The quality and depth of incident investigations, moving beyond immediate causes to identify systemic failures and robust corrective actions.

Investigation reports clearly identify root causes (not just symptoms). Corrective actions address systemic issues, not just individual blame. Lessons learned are shared effectively across the organisation. You're seen as the expert in getting to the bottom of things.

Stakeholder Engagement & Influence

Your ability to build trust and persuade Facilities Managers, Country Managers, and project teams to prioritise and embed H&S into their daily operations.

You're proactively consulted on new projects or operational changes. FMs seek your advice before issues arise. You successfully champion new safety initiatives, getting buy-in from various departments without resorting to 'safety police' tactics. People actually listen to you.

Quality of Safety Programme Development

The clarity, practicality, and effectiveness of the H&S procedures, guidelines, and training programmes you develop.

New procedures are easy for site teams to understand and follow. Training content is engaging and leads to measurable behaviour change. Your programmes are praised for being 'real-world' and not just theoretical. They actually work in practice.

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

Your contribution to the development of junior H&S colleagues and the wider facilities team, sharing your expertise and best practices.

Junior team members regularly seek your advice. You run informal training sessions or workshops. Your colleagues say you're approachable and helpful. You actively contribute to our internal knowledge base and forums.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Protecting People and Property

You get a genuine sense of satisfaction from knowing your work prevents injuries, ensures compliance, and keeps our facilities running safely. The idea of a preventable incident keeps you awake more than a missed deadline.

Successfully implementing a new contractor safety induction programme that demonstrably reduces contractor near-misses on site.

Problem Solving & Investigation

You enjoy the challenge of unpicking complex incidents, digging into root causes, and designing practical solutions. You're a bit of a detective, really, always asking 'why' until you get to the bottom of things.

Leading an investigation into a recurring slip-and-fall incident, identifying a design flaw in a specific type of flooring, and implementing a portfolio-wide corrective action.

Making a Tangible Impact

You want to see your efforts translate into real-world improvements, whether that's a safer work environment, better compliance scores, or a more engaged workforce around H&S. You don't want to just push paper.

Developing and delivering a new fire safety awareness campaign that results in a measurable increase in fire drill participation and understanding of evacuation routes.

What frustrates people

Dealing with inconsistent global buy-in, where one country manager is fully on board and another actively undermines your initiatives.
The constant pressure to justify your existence and budget with ROI calculations for incidents that you successfully *prevented* from happening—it's hard to prove a negative!
Navigating the legal labyrinth, getting conflicting advice from lawyers in different countries on how to interpret the same global safety standard.
The sheer volume of paperwork and administrative tasks that can sometimes overshadow the proactive safety work you want to do.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 job with no surprises.
Direct authority over all operational teams (you'll need to influence, not command).
Instant gratification from every safety initiative (culture change takes time).
A role where you only focus on one country or one type of property (it's international and varied).

6Who you work with

This role directly influences the safety performance and regulatory compliance of our property portfolio. Your work helps to minimise risk, reduce incident rates, and protect the company from legal and financial penalties. You'll also play a big part in building a proactive safety culture, which ultimately improves employee morale and productivity across our global operations.

A recognised H&S qualification (e.g., NEBOSH Diploma, NVQ Level 6 in Occupational Health and Safety, or equivalent).

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Storytelling & Visualisation

Simply presenting numbers isn't enough anymore. You'll need to tell compelling stories with data to influence senior leadership and operational teams. This means moving beyond basic dashboards to create visualisations that highlight trends, risks, and the impact of our safety programmes, justifying investments and driving action.

Narrative structure for data presentations · Choosing the right chart type for your message · Interactive dashboard design principles (Power BI/ · Highlighting insights vs. just showing data · Tailoring data stories for different audiences

This quarter: Take an online course on advanced Power BI or Tableau dashboard design, focusing on user experience.
Next quarter: Redesign one of our existing H&S dashboards to be more interactive and tell a clearer story about a key risk area.
Month 4-6: Practice presenting your redesigned dashboard to internal stakeholders, actively seeking feedback on its clarity and impact.
Month 7-9: Explore integrating external data sources (e.g., weather, local crime rates) into your dashboards to identify new predictive risk factors.

Quick win: For your next H&S committee meeting, pick one key metric and create a single, impactful slide that tells its story visually, rather than just showing a table of numbers. See how it lands.

Integrated Safety Technology & IoT

Our buildings are getting smarter, and so should our safety systems. Integrating real-time data from IoT sensors (e.g., air quality, occupancy, equipment diagnostics) with our EHS and CAFM platforms will allow for predictive safety interventions and more efficient risk management. You'll need to understand how these systems talk to each other.

IoT sensor applications in facilities (e.g., smart · Data integration between EHS, CAFM, and building m · Predictive analytics for equipment failure and env · Digital twin technology for safety planning and si · Cybersecurity considerations for connected safety

This month: Research current trends in smart building technology and IoT for facilities management.
Next month: Identify one area in our properties where IoT sensors could provide valuable real-time safety data (e.g., confined space monitoring, air quality in labs).
Month 3-4: Work with our IT or Facilities Technology team to understand the feasibility and challenges of integrating new data streams.
Month 5-6: Develop a business case for a pilot project using IoT for a specific safety challenge, outlining potential benefits and risks.

Quick win: Start talking to our Facilities Technology team about what sensors are already in our buildings and what data they're collecting. There might be untapped safety insights waiting.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences and webinars on international H&S trends, particularly in real estate and facilities management.
Actively participate in professional H&S networks and forums to share best practices and learn from peers.
Undertake continuous professional development (CPD) to maintain your professional body membership and stay current with legislative changes.
Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues and present on H&S topics internally.

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: Human-Centred Safety Design

Traditional safety often focuses on rules and compliance. The future is about understanding human behaviour, cognitive biases, and designing systems that are inherently safer and easier for people to use, rather than just relying on 'don't make mistakes.' This is driven by a shift towards proactive, preventative safety cultures.

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 Senior International Health and Safety Coordinator 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

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine spending less time on tedious paperwork and more time on proactive safety initiatives. That's the reality with AI. We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our Realestate Facilities Management teams, and for a Senior H&S Coordinator, it's a game-changer.

AI isn't here to replace your expertise; it's here to supercharge it. For a Senior H&S Coordinator, this means automating the mundane, getting rapid insights from mountains of data, and quickly understanding complex global regulations. You'll be able to focus your valuable time and judgement on the truly strategic and high-impact work, like deep investigations and cultural change, rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks.

Automated RAMS Drafting

Use a generative AI tool, trained on our company's templates and your past successful RAMS, to draft comprehensive Risk Assessment and Method Statements. You'll input the task (e.g., 'replace chiller on rooftop at 123 Main St.'), and the AI will generate a detailed draft covering likely hazards, controls, and PPE, ready for your expert review and fine-tuning. This cuts down hours of initial drafting time.

Predictive Risk Hot-Spotting

An AI model analyses data from our EHS platform, CAFM system (think maintenance backlogs), and even external sources like local weather patterns. It then flags specific properties or activities with an elevated risk of a slip-and-fall or contractor injury in the coming week. This lets you proactively intervene, rather than react after an incident has already happened.

Rapid Regulatory Summaries

Point an AI research assistant at a newly published, 100-page piece of H&S legislation from Germany or Brazil. It'll provide you with a concise, 2-page summary in English, highlighting the key changes, affected operations, and required actions, cross-referencing against our current corporate policies. No more slogging through dense legal jargon for hours.

Tailored Toolbox Talk Generation

An AI tool generates scripts for 5-minute toolbox talks. You'll specify the topic (e.g., 'ladder safety'), the audience ('office-based first aiders' versus 'M&E engineers'), and the language. It creates relevant, engaging, and easy-to-understand content instantly, saving you time on content creation and ensuring consistency.

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 a Senior International Health and Safety Coordinator, 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 10 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.
