Key job responsibilities
The WHS RME Program Manager will establish partnerships with RME leadership and work closely with country and site WHS teams. You will support RME leadership to engage with technicians and contractors, encouraging active involvement through defined expectations and ownership. This includes promoting a bias-for-action when escalating safety issues, using stop work authority, and supporting peer review WHS programs.

As a subject matter expert, you will think big while also diving deep to identify systemic gaps, provide technical advice, and deploy practical solutions. You will work with stakeholders to continuously improve the WHS RME program through effective deployment of standards and procedures, risk management and mitigation actions, incident management, inspection, audit and program assurance, training and communication.

You will leverage WHS RME programs to analyse country risk profiles and define risk mitigation actions with RME leadership to drive risk reduction and program improvement. The role requires inventing and simplifying new ways to raise awareness and build capabilities within RME teams to develop a deep understanding of inherent high-risk operations and effectively mitigate risks. Additionally, you will support the Contract Risk Management (CRM) program, ensuring effective deployment at sites and contractor compliance with regulatory and Amazon WHS policy requirements.
