SHEQ Performance Coach

At Browne, we believe great SHEQ performance is built through people, not just processes. We're looking for a passionate and engaging SHEQ Performance Coach to help drive positive behavioural change across our operational teams, promoting a culture of service avoidance, risk awareness and safe decision-making.

As a SHEQ Performance Coach, you'll work closely with frontline teams to improve Safety, Health, Environment and Quality performance through coaching, engagement and behavioural influence. This is a highly visible, site-based role focused on developing people, strengthening standards and promoting safe decision-making rather than auditing or enforcing compliance.

Using performance data and on site observations, you'll deliver targeted coaching interventions, reinforce best practice in service avoidance and safe digging activities, and provide real-time feedback that drives positive behavioural change. Through building trusted relationships and facilitating learning, you'll help create a proactive SHEQ culture that reduces risk and supports continuous improvement across the business.

A key function of the role is to support critical risk activities such as service avoidance, including Genny & CAT surveying using data led triggers to deploy coaching interventions where standards are not being met.

The SHEQ Performance Coach plays a critical role in shaping culture through behavioural science principles, helping the business understand, monitor, and positively influence At-Risk and Reduced-Risk behaviours.
