Senior Health & Safety Analyst

Turner & Townsend is a global professional services company with over 22,000 people in more than 62 countries.  Working with our clients across real estate, infrastructure, energy and natural resources, we transform together delivering outcomes that improve people’s lives. Working in partnership makes it possible to deliver the world’s most impactful projects and programmes as we turn challenge into opportunity and complexity into success.  Our capabilities include programme, project, cost, asset and commercial management, controls and performance, procurement and supply chain, net zero and digital solutions.  We are majority-owned by CBRE Group, Inc., the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, with our partners holding a significant minority interest. Turner & Townsend and CBRE work together to provide clients with the premier programme, project and cost management offering in markets around the world.  About the Role As a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Sr. Analyst specialising in Design Review, you will operate at a senior professional level to play a dual-focus role. First, you will assist in the management of regional HSE programs and standardised procedures across a large market area or assigned client accounts to safeguard personnel, client assets, and surrounding communities. Second, and as your core technical specialisation, you will act as a dedicated Safety in Design Reviewer, embedding proactive hazard mitigation into the earliest phases of facility, system, and equipment development. Rather than relying on retroactive safety adjustments after physical execution, this strategic role mandates the application of Safety in Design (Safety in Design) principles and the Hierarchy of Controls to identify, evaluate, and 'design out' potential hazards during early design cycles. By collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams—including architects, structural/mechanical engineers, project managers, construction leads, and operational end-users—you will ensure that all constructed spaces and installations are error-proof, fully compliant with safety codes, and optimised to minimise the risk of human failure throughout their entire operational lifecycle (from concept through daily use, maintenance, and ultimate decommissioning). This critical safety oversight position is based out of designated global hubs—including Sunnyvale/Bay Area (CA), New York (NY), London (UK), Warsaw (Poland), Dublin (Ireland), Singapore, and Taipei (Taiwan)—and requires approximately 20% to 25% domestic and international travel to support physical site commissioning, final operational handover, and stakeholders' safety verification processes. What You'll Do - Proactive Safety in Design Review: Read, interpret, and perform meticulous safety reviews of architectural drawing sets, technical design specifications, engineering drawings, floor layouts, elevations, and Life Safety Plans across all project phases (Concept & Schematic, Design Development, and Construction Documents). - Lifecycle Hazard Mitigation: Apply Safety in Design principles and the Hierarchy of Controls to eliminate or substitute hazards at the design stage, prioritising physical engineering solutions over administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE). Evaluate designs to ensure safety across all lifecycle phases: construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and eventual demolition. - Hazard Identification & Workshops: Lead or actively participate in systematic, multidisciplinary hazard identification exercises. Facilitate collaborative sessions with architects, engineers, construction managers, maintenance technicians, and operational end users to ensure that the designed systems are highly practical and error-free. - Regulatory & Code Verification: Verify that all facility and equipment designs strictly adhere to applicable local, regional, national, and international standards, codes, and legislation, including but not limited to OSHA, NFPA, IBC, and ADA regulations. - Operational Program Administration: Ability to manage regional HSE programs, initiatives, plans, playbooks, and standardised procedures to satisfy regulatory requirements and meet the evolving safety needs of CBRE client accounts across the market area. - Performance Monitoring & Analytics: Oversee Safety in Design performance monitoring, capturing project lessons to refine client design guides and safety standards for continuous improvement. Track and analyse injury, illness, and incident data to provide leadership and regional management with actionable guidance on compliance, trends, and improvement strategies. - Operational Leadership & Coordination: Establish work schedules and assign specific safety-related tasks to team members. Coordinate work efforts and impact the quality of both individual output and the wider team's performance, ensuring objectives are met within standardised procedures and established timelines. - Multi-disciplinary Knowledge Synthesis: Synthesise complex technical data and safety insights spanning multiple professional disciplines—such as mechanical/electrical engineering, occupational hygiene, and materials chemistry—to engineer cohesive, inherently safer facility solutions. - Risk Transfer & Safety Handover: Provide robust safety oversight throughout commissioning and handover. Ensure that critical risk control information developed during the design phase is properly documented and transferred to operational end users and facility maintenance teams.What You'll Need - Technical Drawing Literacy: Demonstrate ability to read, interpret, and perform safety-focused reviews of complex multi-disciplinary architectural drawing sets, structural/mechanical elevations, design instructions, scope of works documents, and technical construction specifications. - Hazard Assessment Expertise: Technical knowledge and hands-on experience in hazard identification, risk assessment, and control methodologies. Strong familiarity with the engineering design lifecycle and the phases of construction/operational infrastructure. - Regulatory & Compliance Standards: A comprehensive, working understanding of OSHA regulations, national/international safety legislation, and building/life safety technical design codes (such as NFPA, IBC, ADA). - Analytical & Problem Solving Skills: Strong ability to analyse complex technical proposals, identify potential safety/operational gaps, and apply technical experience, historical precedents, and professional judgment to engineer compliant, practical, and highly effective solutions. - Data Synthesis & Human Dimensions: Skill in sourcing, analysing, and applying empirical data regarding human dimensions, physical capacities, and behaviours (ergonomics) to design error-tolerant interfaces and processes. Ability to synthesise complex technical findings across occupational hygiene and engineering boundaries. - Advanced Mathematical Skills: Proficiency in calculating complex figures, including percentages, fractions, statistical incident rates, and other mathematical, algebraic, or financial calculations relevant to EHS performance tracking and project budgeting. - Software & Tools Literacy: In-depth technical knowledge and day-to-day proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite (including advanced Word formatting, Excel data analysis/pivot tables, PowerPoint presentations, and Outlook). - Organisational & Communication Strengths: Excellent organisational skills matched with an inquisitive, detail-oriented mindset. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the proven ability to present complex, highly technical safety concepts in a simple, straightforward, and persuasive manner to diverse stakeholder groups. - Travel & Mobility: Ability to travel 20% to 25% for physical site commissioning and handover processes, collaborating with project stakeholders for the final safety acceptance of the facilities. - A Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Engineering, Construction Management, Science, or a related technical discipline is preferred. - Holding an IOSH Approved certification is highly preferred. - Professional certifications such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Associate Safety Professional (ASP), Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), Certified Hazrdous Material Manager (CHMM), or regional equivalents are strongly preferred. - Supplemental professional certificates in Engineering, Project Management (PMP), Fire Safety, or Emergency Planning will be highly welcomed and positively viewed.
