What’s the role?

At Shell, achieving Goal Zero, no harm to people is at the heart of everything we do. Building a strong, proactive safety culture is essential, and our Operational HSSE discipline plays a key role by partnering with the business to provide expert safety support and drive effective HSSE management.

As a Prelude Safety Advisor, you’ll be based onshore and work closely with the asset to embed safety into day-to-day operations while shaping and delivering ongoing safety improvement plans. This role focuses on practical, fit‑for‑purpose solutions, sharing insights and lessons learned, simplifying processes, and supporting both operations and contract holders in the field.

You will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, bringing strong teamwork, curiosity, and a continuous improvement mindset. We’re seeking someone who is passionate about safety and motivated to strengthen how we work.

In this role you will:

  Provide subject matter expertise across all aspects of contractor HSSE management, from pre‑qualification to implementation support. Activities include HAZID construction, Mode Determinations, capability assessments, and development of HSE plans where required.

• Coach Contract Holders
  Support and coach contract holders in applying Contractor HSSE Management processes to ensure strong safety performance.

• Drive Safety Improvements
  Lead initiatives that elevate safety performance and support a robust frontline safety culture through active engagement across teams and contractors.

• Support Work Preparation
  Contribute to HAZID reviews for major maintenance scopes and help identify opportunities to improve safety and environmental outcomes. Ensure all work preparation aligns with HSE requirements, the safety case, and environmental obligations.

• Provide On‑Site HSE Support
  Offer direction, coaching, and assurance during turnarounds and other critical activities, ensuring safe and compliant execution.

• Foster Cross‑Team Collaboration
  Act as a key interface between onshore, offshore, and leadership teams to promote alignment and effective communication.

• Improve Processes
  Identify, implement, and monitor process improvements aimed at strengthening safety performance and simplifying ways of working.

What you bring

Your ability to build strong, collaborative relationships and influence meaningful change will be essential. You will help inspire teams to drive improvements that directly impact safety and operational performance.

Key requirements include:

• Demonstrated dedication to achieving zero incidents and taking personal ownership of safety outcomes.

• Proven operational safety experience, with a track record of positively influencing safety culture in either an HSE or operational role.

• Experience managing contractor HSSE processes throughout the full contract lifecycle.

• Ability to tackle complex challenges and deliver practical, effective solutions, including design and delivery of specialised programs.

• Proven ability to engage with and influence stakeholders at all levels.

• Constant drive to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and remove unnecessary complexity.

• Experience implementing and improving internal processes, with strong coordination capabilities to proactively support the business.

• Ability to coach contract holders and guide operations and maintenance teams to embed safe and efficient work practices.

This role will be based in Perth (Shell House), with offshore travel required during turnaround events and as needed.
