In brief

**Overview** This role at CHEP is for an HSE Systems & Assurance Lead for the AMETA region, playing a pivotal role in the transformation and influencing HSE maturity at a regional level. The position involves shaping systems, frameworks, and assurance strategies that support thousands of employees across Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the broader AMETA network. This is not a traditional compliance, audit, or systems administration role but rather an opportunity to design, simplify, and embed effective management systems across a complex regional environment. The focus is on creating practical, scalable approaches genuinely adopted by operations, strengthening management systems, building sustainable assurance capability, and understanding the effectiveness of systems and critical controls beyond mere compliance. **What you will do** * Lead the ongoing evolution and simplification of the AMETA HSE Management System. * Design and strengthen regional assurance frameworks, methodologies, and governance processes. * Develop assurance programs that focus on critical controls, risk effectiveness, and system health. * Build organisational capability in assurance, verification and governance practices. * Partner with operational leaders to translate global standards into locally relevant, practical solutions. * Leverage data, insights, and trends to support continuous improvement and strategic decision-making. * Drive consistency across diverse geographies while balancing local operational needs. * Support the long-term maturity of HSE systems, governance, and organisational capability across AMETA. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * Experience designing, simplifying or transforming management systems, governance frameworks, or assurance programs. * A track record of building capability and embedding sustainable ways of working, rather than simply maintaining established programs. * The ability to assess whether systems and critical controls are genuinely effective, not just compliant. * Strong business partnering skills and credibility working with senior operational and Supply Chain leaders. * Experience influencing across complex, multi-site or multinational organisations. * The capability to translate complex requirements into practical, proportionate solutions that work in operational environments. * Strong systems thinking, curiosity and a continuous improvement mindset. * Experience within industries with mature governance, assurance or risk-management practices such as mining, aviation, energy, manufacturing, logistics or major hazards environments. * Location in Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. * Regional travel will be required from time to time. * For candidates based in South Africa: a completed Bachelor's Degree or equivalent qualification is mandatory due to local employment requirements. This requirement does not apply to candidates applying from Australia or New Zealand. **Who should apply** This role will suit leaders who enjoy challenging complexity, improving how things work, and building long-term organisational capability rather than maintaining the status quo. Ideal candidates are those who can design, simplify, and embed effective management systems across a complex regional environment, creating practical, scalable, and genuinely adopted approaches. They should demonstrate the ability to assess the effectiveness of systems and critical controls beyond compliance and possess strong business partnering and influencing skills within complex, multi-site or multinational organisations. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.myjobmag.co.za/job/hse-systems-and-assurance-lead-ameta-chep Source: myjobmag
