Job Description

This position will be based out of our Alexandria office at least three days a week. Candidates should be comfortable working on highways and construction sites and be available outside of normal business hours, when needed.

Working at Transurban is different; it's a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create transportation solutions-building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads-to solve pressing transport challenges.

About the role :

We’re seeking a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Assurance Advisor to proactively drive a safety and environmental culture, while ensuring the implementation of Transurban’s HSE Management System across highway maintenance and construction operations.

You’ll join an innovative team, who provides mentoring and technical expertise to supports safe work practices, environmental compliance, regulatory adherence, and continuous improvement.

As our HSE Assurance Advisor, you’ll contribute to lasting and positive changes that shape the future of our cities and communities. It’s meaningful, challenging and exciting work.

Day-to-day, you will:

  • Monitor and guide HSE behaviors to ensure compliance and drive continuous improvement.
  • Partner with stakeholders to implement assurance plans and support contractor performance.
  • Conduct assurance activities for high-risk tasks including fall protection, electrical safety, vehicle operations, trenching, excavations, and traffic control, ensuring alignment with HSE plans and regulatory requirements.
  • Under supervision, conduct or participate in internal and external audits, including environmental inspections, and support the implementation of corrective actions.
  • Support the development, implementation, and maintenance of HSE Management Plans and supporting programs, including environmental protection plans.
  • Develop and/or deliver sessions to support self-performed work and ensure workforce readiness.
  • Conduct or support incident investigations and guide the development of effective corrective actions, including those related to environmental incidents.

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferable skills and experiences, including:

  • Demonstrated experience in incident investigation, training delivery, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Experience delivering safety programs (e.g., Electrical Safety, Lockout Tagout (LOTO), Fall Protection, Hazard Communication (HAZCOM)).
  • Experience within infrastructure, construction, maintenance of traffic and work area protection, preferred.
  • Knowledge of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace (NFPA 70E), HSE best practices, environmental compliance, risk management, and safety systems.
  • Knowledge of environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and/or Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities.

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.

We are open to considering candidates who either reside in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area, are within a reasonable commuting distance to Tysons Corner and Alexandria, VA and/or are willing to relocate at their own expense. Candidates who reside in the DMV area will be prioritized.

With a career at Transurban, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, life, STD and LTD insurance and retirement plan.
  • A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year.
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status).
  • Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests.
  • Health and wellbeing support-access to Headspace, Ginger, wellness facilities, and more.
  • Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days.

At Transurban, we are committed to equal employment opportunity and providing a work environment that is free from discriminatory practices. We will not discriminate against employees or applicants for employment on any legally recognized basis [“protected class”] including, but not limited to: race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship or immigration status, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, genetic information, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, veteran or military status (including status as a U.S. uniformed services member or reservist, or as a spouse, child, or qualifying dependent of a service member), or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law.
