What I'm looking for

I am seeking a safety or HSSE leadership role in mining or infrastructure where I can drive compliance, lead teams, and improve safety systems.

I am an experienced HSSE adviser and site safety manager with a long background in mining and contract security across Papua New Guinea. I have progressed from security officer roles to Site Safety Manager and HSSE Adviser, managing safety programs, investigations, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle checks, and large-scale events for industry staff.

I have delivered safety leadership on projects including road rehabilitation and naval base infrastructure, built effective relationships with stakeholders, and organised events and training for teams of up to 50 professionals. I bring strong team-building, monitoring and reporting, decision-making, and investigation skills to improve safety outcomes and support organisational reputation.
