HSE Risk and Resilience Lead, AMETA

In brief

**Overview** This is for the role of HSE Risk & Resilience Lead at CHEP, a major global organisation. The position is critical for shaping the future of operational risk and resilience across an international network that includes Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other AMETA regions. This is a strategic leadership role focused on establishing risk architecture, strengthening critical risk management, and embedding resilience into business decision-making, rather than being a traditional HSE compliance role. The successful candidate will influence how the organisation identifies, manages, and responds to significant operational risks, working closely with operational leaders to improve risk understanding, governance, and management. **What you will do** * Lead the development and maturity of regional risk and resilience frameworks. * Strengthen critical risk and critical control programs across AMETA. * Improve visibility, governance, and reporting of key operational risks. * Partner with leaders to strengthen risk ownership and decision-making capability. * Support resilience planning and broader organisational preparedness initiatives. * Drive consistency in risk management practices across multiple geographies. * Translate complex risk information into practical insights that influence business decisions. * Build a stronger risk-aware culture and improve organisational resilience across the region. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * Experience developing, implementing, or transforming operational risk, resilience, or governance frameworks. * A strong understanding of critical risk management and the controls required to manage high-consequence risks. * The ability to establish structure, clarity, and consistency across complex risk environments. * Proven success partnering with senior operational and Supply Chain leaders to improve decision-making and risk ownership. * Experience building organisational capability and improving risk maturity across large, complex, or geographically dispersed operations. * Strong commercial judgement and the ability to balance governance requirements with operational realities. * The ability to translate complex risk information into clear, practical actions and business outcomes. * Experience within industries where risk management, operational discipline, and resilience are critical to success, including mining, aviation, energy, industrial operations, logistics, or major hazards environments. * Strong influencing skills with the ability to challenge constructively and build credibility without direct authority. * A track record of establishing, transforming, or significantly strengthening risk management, resilience, or governance capability, rather than simply operating mature frameworks that already existed. * For candidates applying from South Africa: must hold a completed Bachelor's Degree or equivalent qualification. This requirement does not apply to candidates applying from Australia or New Zealand. * Location flexibility: The role can be based in Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, and requires comfort collaborating with diverse teams, stakeholders, and operational environments across the AMETA region. **Who should apply** This role is suitable for a strategic risk leader who can establish a coherent risk architecture, strengthen critical risk management, and embed resilience into practical business decision-making. The ideal candidate enjoys building capability, influencing strategy, and improving organisational maturity across complex and diverse operating environments. They should have a background in creating meaningful change and transforming or significantly improving organisational capability, rather than solely maintaining existing frameworks. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.myjobmag.co.za/job/hse-risk-and-resilience-lead-ameta-chep Source: myjobmag
