HSE Manager - Major Renewable Project - Victoria
Lead Safety on One of Victoria's Next Major BESS Projects
Join UGL at the forefront of Australia's energy transition. Having delivered 13 solar farms and 14 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across the country, we're continuing to grow our renewable energy portfolio and creating long-term career opportunities for our people.
We're looking for an experienced HSE Manager to take ownership of safety on a major utility-scale BESS project in Victoria. You'll be a key member of the leadership team, working alongside supervisors, contractors and project leaders to build a strong safety culture and support the successful delivery of one of Victoria's next major renewable energy projects.
You'll join a project team that values visible leadership, practical safety and getting out in the field. Backed by UGL's strong pipeline of renewable energy projects, this role also offers genuine long-term career opportunities beyond your first assignment.
Why this role
- Lead safety on one of Victoria's next major BESS projects.

- Be trusted to influence culture, coach leaders and make a real impact on site.

About the role
Reporting to the Project Manager, you'll lead all aspects of safety across the project and be a key voice within the leadership team.
This is a hands-on role for someone who prefers being in the field, building relationships and supporting crews rather than sitting behind a desk. You'll work closely with supervisors, contractors and the HSE team to drive positive safety outcomes, manage risk and help ensure everyone goes home safely each day.
