The HSE Manager provides regional and portfolio-level leadership for client site and offsite HSE programs.

The role translates Accenture HSE standards, client contractual obligations and regulatory requirements into consistent, scalable and auditable field implementation.

The role owns program deployment, regional oversight and performance management while providing escalation support and technical leadership.

Program Deployment and Oversight

  • Deploy and operationalize client site and offsite HSE programs across assigned regions, accounts or portfolios.
  • Translate enterprise HSE standards and client safety requirements into practical field execution guidance.
  • Ensure consistent implementation of audits, inspections, training validation and incident response processes.
  • Own training governance, contractor safety controls and site readiness processes.

Regional and Portfolio Leadership

  • Serve as the primary escalation point for HSE Leads and site-level safety resources.
  • Provide technical direction, coaching and quality assurance for audits, investigations and corrective actions.
  • Prioritize resources based on risk, client exposure and incident trends.
  • Support high-risk, high-visibility or escalated client and field engagements.

Incident and Emergency Management

  • Lead or oversee complex incident investigations and ensure root cause analysis and closure.
  • Review incident trends, audit results and near-miss data to identify systemic risks.
  • Drive corrective and preventive action plans and verify effectiveness.
  • Support Stop Work Authority decisions and client escalations when required.

Training and Site Readiness

  • Govern training, authorization and site readiness requirements across the assigned scope.
  • Ensure employees, subcontractors and vendors meet client and regulatory requirements before mobilization.
  • Validate training effectiveness and competency rather than completion alone.
  • Partner with central HSE teams to ensure training functions as a risk control.

Client and Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as an HSE lead for assigned client accounts or regions.
  • Support interpretation and implementation of client safety requirements and contractual obligations.
  • Partner with Legal, HR, Procurement and Global HSE on complex or ambiguous requirements.
  • Represent Accenture in client audits, safety reviews and joint investigations as needed.

Continuous Improvement

  • Identify field execution gaps and recommend program improvements.
  • Contribute to global tools, templates and guidance.
  • Support integration of acquisitions or new service offerings into existing HSE programs.
  • Champion continuous improvement and safety culture maturity across regions.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent field experience in HSE, Industrial Hygiene or a related discipline.
  • 7-10 years of progressive HSE experience with direct field or client site work.
  • Experience leading regional programs, portfolios or multi-site operations.
  • Strong knowledge of applicable safety regulations.
  • Working knowledge of ISNetworld, Avetta and ComplyWorks platforms.
  • Experience leading audits, investigations and corrective action programs.
  • Professional certification such as CSP, Chartered OHS Professional, CMIOSH or NEBOSH International Diploma.
  • Experience supporting high-risk industries or complex client environments.
  • Strong client-facing communication and escalation management skills.
