H&S Manager (Chile)
If you are passionate about renewable energies, and want to be part of a diverse team and vibrant culture, don't miss this opportunity to take a new step in your professional life!
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a H&S Manager based in Santiago (Chile). This role leads health and safety (H&S) across Atlas's renewable energy operations in Chile. The manager develops, implements, and oversees safety programs to minimize risk, protect employee wellbeing, and build a strong safety culture — ensuring full regulatory compliance and driving continuous improvement.
As Atlas Chile's senior-most H&S authority, the manager serves as the final technical reference on occupational safety, with special ownership of electrical risk across construction and O&M activities. Rather than relying on enforcement alone, the role drives safety culture through influence — building a network of safety champions among staff and contractors — with training as the core tool for building competence, shaping behavior, and reinforcing accountability at every level.
What challenges will you face?
Develop, implement, and continuously improve H&S policies and management systems, ensuring compliance with Chilean law, Atlas standards, and international requirements.
Integrate H&S into every phase of the project lifecycle — development, construction, commissioning, and operations.
Partner closely with project, construction, operations, and contractor teams to identify risks and close performance gaps.
Own the electrical safety program end-to-end: energized work authorization, LOTO, arc flash/shock risk assessments, PPE, and competency management for high- and medium-voltage work.
Review, approve, and audit contractor H&S and electrical safety programs before and during mobilization.
Lead H&S inspections, audits, and assurance activities, driving corrective and preventive actions.
Lead incident/near-miss investigations using root cause analysis, embedding lessons learned into operations.
Design and maintain the annual training and competency framework (induction, technical qualifications, refreshers, competency verification) for employees and contractors.
Deliver key training and coaching, developing site leaders as safety trainers and role models.
Build and sustain a network of safety champions across Atlas and contractor organizations.
Drive safety culture maturity through leading/lagging indicators (behavioral observations, near-miss reporting, training completion, incident trends).
Coach managers/supervisors on visible safety leadership and consistent application of standards.
Maintain accurate H&S records, metrics, audits, and regulatory documentation.
Prepare executive-level reports and presentations for senior management, investors, and partners.
Monitor regulatory developments and industry best practices to ensure continuous improvement.
What specific knowledge do you need?
* At least 5 years of exposure in construction/ operation environments as manager.
* Background in management and field works.
* Background in managing HS compliance.
* OSHA standards and experience in corporate management of construction and operations sites.
* Experience conducting risk assessments, safety audits, and inspections to identify hazards and ensure compliance with safety standards.
* Health and safety regulations and best practices, particularly in the renewable energy sector or similar industries.
* Demonstrated experience managing electrical risk in high- and medium-voltage environments (substations, collector systems, inverters, energized works), including LOTO and arc-flash programs.
* Working knowledge of the Chilean H&S regulatory and experience interacting with local authorities and mutual insurance bodies.
* Proven experience designing and delivering H&S training programs at scale for both direct employees and contractor workforces.
