Job Description

Turner & Townsend are seeking a dedicated Health & Safety Senior Analyst to join our construction management consultancy. The ideal candidate will be responsible for ensuring that all health and safety regulations are adhered to across our construction projects. This role involves developing and implementing safety policies, conducting site inspections, and providing guidance to project teams to maintain a safe working environment.

What you’ll do

• Proactive Safety in Design Review: Read, interpret, and perform meticulous safety reviews of architectural drawing sets, technical design specifications, engineering drawings, floor layouts, elevations, and Life Safety Plans across all project phases (Concept & Schematic, Design Development, and Construction Documents).

• Lifecycle Hazard Mitigation: Apply Safety in Design (Safety in Design) principles and the Hierarchy of Controls to eliminate or substitute hazards at the design stage, prioritizing physical engineering solutions over administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE). Evaluate designs to ensure safety across all lifecycle phases: construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and eventual demolition.

• Hazard Identification & Workshops: Lead or actively participate in systematic, multidisciplinary hazard identification exercises. Facilitate collaborative sessions with architects, engineers, construction managers, maintenance technicians, and operational end-users to ensure designed systems are highly practical and error-proof.

• Regulatory & Code Verification: Verify that all facility and equipment designs strictly adhere to applicable local, regional, national, and international standards, codes, and legislation, including but not limited to OSHA, NFPA, IBC, and ADA regulations.

• Operational Program Administration: Ability to manage regional HSE programs, initiatives, plans, playbooks, and standardized procedures to satisfy regulatory requirements and meet the evolving safety needs of CBRE client accounts across the market area.

• Performance Monitoring & Analytics: Oversee Safety in Design performance monitoring, capturing project lessons to refine client design guides and safety standards for continuous improvement. Track and analyze injury, illness, and incident data to provide leadership and regional management with actionable guidance on compliance, trends, and improvement strategies.

• Operational Leadership & Coordination: Establish work schedules and assign specific safety-related tasks to team members. Coordinate work efforts and impact the quality of both individual output and the wider team's performance, ensuring objectives are met within standardized procedures and established timelines.

• Multi-disciplinary Knowledge Synthesis: Synthesize complex technical data and safety insights spanning multiple professional disciplines—such as mechanical/electrical engineering, occupational hygiene, and materials chemistry—to engineer cohesive, inherently safer facility solutions.

• Risk Transfer & Safety Handover: Provide robust safety oversight during commissioning and handover processes. Ensure that critical risk control information developed during the design phase is successfully documented and transferred to operational end-users and facility maintenance teams.

• RISE Values & Communication: Lead by example and consistently model professional behaviors aligned with CBRE RISE Values (Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence). Translate complex technical HSE details and risk parameters into clear, straightforward communication for non-technical stakeholders and client teams in routine and challenging situations.

Qualifications

• Education & Experience: A Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Engineering, Construction Management, Science, or a related technical discipline is preferred. An equivalent blend of formal education and professional experience will be considered. Candidates must demonstrate 2-5 years of relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, a combination of experience and education will be considered.

• Technical Drawing Literacy: Demonstrate ability to read, interpret, and perform safety-focused reviews of complex multi-disciplinary architectural drawing sets, structural/mechanical elevations, design instructions, scope of works documents, and technical construction specifications.

• Support the site safety manager with the implementation and reporting on safety conditions
• Technology competent with database management skills.
• Strong understanding of construction safety standards and regulations.
• Demonstrated great analytical skills and strong communication, presentation, and written skills.
• Awareness of safety, security, and controls.
