Description

  • Own HSEQ systems across a respected civil infrastructure business.
  • Champion continuous improvement, compliance and operational excellence.
  • Hands-on role with autonomy, variety and real organisational impact.

 
About the organisation
Construction Contracts Ltd (CCL) has been delivering civil infrastructure projects across the greater Wellington region since 1991 and has built a strong reputation for technical excellence, innovation and quality project delivery.

As a practical, values-driven business, CCL takes pride in its people, its work and the infrastructure it delivers for local communities. The company combines high standards with a collaborative culture where everyone contributes to achieving successful outcomes.

The opportunity

Reporting to the General Manager, the HSEQ Systems Lead will take ownership of CCL's Health, Safety, Environment and Quality systems, ensuring the company's Integrated Management System (IMS), ISO accreditations and compliance frameworks remain effective, current and audit-ready.

This is not a traditional HSEQ role. Instead, you'll be the driving force behind the systems that support safe, compliant and high-quality operations across the business. You'll work closely and collaboratively with leaders, project teams and site staff to ensure processes are practical, understood and consistently applied.

As CCL's Procore champion, you'll oversee HSEQ records and workflows, coordinate audits and reporting, manage corrective actions through to completion, and identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and performance.

Key areas of focus

  • Own and maintain CCL's Integrated Management System and support ongoing ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 compliance.
  • Become the organisation's Procore expert, ensuring records, workflows and reporting accurately reflect operational activity.
  • Coordinate audits, incident management, corrective actions and compliance reporting.
  • Maintain document control, registers, certifications and compliance documentation.
  • Support managers and teams to complete actions, resolve issues and maintain quality records.
  • Prepare HSEQ reports, meeting documentation and performance insights that support decision-making.
  • Drive continuous improvement through practical solutions, system optimisation and positive engagement with operational teams.

About you
You will be a proactive and organised professional who enjoys taking ownership and seeing things through. You're equally comfortable working with data, systems and processes as you are building relationships with people across the business.
You will likely have:

  • Experience in HSEQ, compliance, systems coordination or a related operational support role.
  • Knowledge of ISO management systems, audits and compliance requirements.
  • Experience using project management or compliance systems.
  • Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • A practical, solutions-focused approach and a genuine desire to help teams succeed.
  • A current full driver's licence.

Why this role?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established and respected infrastructure business where you'll make a visible contribution every day and be a valued team member.
