SUMMARY:

Senior SHEQ Coordinator

Stanger, KwaZulu-Natal

Anyone can identify risk. Exceptional SHEQ professionals prevent it before it becomes reality.
A leading organization within the environmental services sector is seeking a Senior SHEQ Coordinator who understands that Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality are not departments. They are the foundation of responsible operations, sustainable growth, and operational excellence.
This is an opportunity for a driven SHEQ professional to play a key role in strengthening compliance, reducing risk, and driving a culture of continuous improvement.
If you are someone who sees beyond checklists, understands the practical application of legislation, and has the confidence to challenge the status quo constructively, we'd like to hear from you.

Support the development and continuous improvement of SHEQ management systems
Promote a proactive safety culture throughout the organisation

The Person We're Looking For

You don't view compliance as a box-ticking exercise.
You understand the difference between meeting minimum standards and creating a culture where safety, environmental responsibility, and operational excellence form part of everyday decision-making.
You're analytical enough to investigate root causes, confident enough to challenge unsafe practices, and influential enough to drive meaningful change.
Most importantly, you recognise that every incident prevented, every risk mitigated, and every process improved contributes to a safer and more sustainable future.
