THE WORK:

You've Never Been Satisfied with “Good Enough.”

You didn't get into this to manage one piece of a project. You got into it to change how the world gets built.

At Accenture Construct, that's the job. You'll help deliver the data centers, power grids, rail networks, factories and public infrastructure that keep communities moving — smarter, safer and more sustainably.

You'll work alongside people who think big and act bold: project managers, engineers, technologists and strategists who pair real-world delivery with AI. And you won't be handed a slice of it. We take on whole programs, from early strategy through construction and handover, and we stand behind how they land.

Because “good enough” builds the past. You're here to build what's next.

  • Provide strategic leadership, direction, and assurance of Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) across the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE), covering both the Rail, Stations and Systems and Advanced Tunnel, ensuring a proactive safety culture and achievement of project outcomes.
  • The role is accountable for integrating HSW requirements across the owner, designer, and constructor teams, driving collaboration, shared accountability, and continuous improvement.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities (including but not limited to)

• Lead and promote a strong, visible safety culture across the integrated SSE project team, embedding “safety-first” behaviours at all levels
• Act as a senior leader within SSE governance forums, providing direction on HSW strategy, performance, and risks
• Champion psychological safety, wellbeing, and near-miss reporting culture to drive proactive risk identification and learning
• Drive engagement initiatives across all delivery partners (STC, client, subcontractors) to ensure consistent standards and behaviours
• Ensure HSW is fully integrated into the PDB delivery model, influencing design development, constructability, and delivery approaches
• Collaborate across the owner, designer, and constructor to embed HSW requirements into evolving design and construction planning
• Provide leadership in resolving cross-functional HSW challenges through collaborative, non-adversarial approaches aligned to PDB principles
• Support governance frameworks that clearly separate collaboration from formal commitment and maintain transparent decision-making
• Develop and maintain the SSE Health, Safety & Wellbeing Strategy and Assurance Plan
• Ensure implementation of compliant HSW management systems aligned with regulatory, client, and ISO standards
• Establish project-wide standards, procedures, and critical risk controls (e.g., Fatal Risk management, audits, inspections)
