If you're passionate about safety leadership, thrive in the field, and want to play a hands-on role in delivering some of the most exciting renewable energy projects in the country, we'd love to hear from you.
Why This Role Matters
As TotalEnergies accelerates development and construction of its U.S. onshore Solar portfolio, strong Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) governance is essential to delivering projects safely, compliantly, and responsibly. In this role, you will serve as the Owner's Representative for HSE during construction of all projects, helping protect people, assets, and project performance.

This is a highly visible, field-based role focused on construction safety performance, contractor governance, and regulatory compliance. If you are a hands-on safety professional who enjoys being in the field, working closely with EPCs and subcontractors, and setting clear safety expectations, this role offers meaningful impact within a global energy organization.

The HSE Lead serves as the Owner's Representative for Health, Safety, Environment, and Security, providing site-based HSE leadership and governance across all project activities.

The HSE Lead is responsible for overseeing all Health, Safety, and Environmental aspects of the project, supporting safe execution of construction activities through field presence, risk management, compliance verification, and continuous engagement with project teams.

• Ensure contractor and subcontractor compliance with TotalEnergies MAESTRO standards, contractual HSE requirements, and applicable regulations
• Review, validate, and approve HSE documentation, including HSE plans, Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), lift plans, and methodstatements
• Conduct regular site audits, inspections, and field verifications; track findings and ensure timely closure of corrective and preventive actions
• Monitor HSE performance indicators (KPIs) and provide routine reporting to project and regional leadership
• Lead or support incident investigations, near-miss reviews, and root cause analyses; implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence
• Support regulatory, OSHA, and environmental compliance requirements throughout construction activities
• Participate in and support HSE inductions, toolbox talks, safety moments, and emergency preparedness drills
• Actively promote a strong and proactive safety culture aligned with TotalEnergies' values: "Safety for me, for you, for all"
