Emergency Response Team (ERT) Leader careers

An Emergency Response Team (ERT) Leader directs critical life-saving operations during industrial incidents on mines, refineries, or offshore platforms. You might work for major resource companies, energy providers, or specialist safety contractors. You will focus on incident command, tactical fire control, and technical rescue coordination. By overseeing equipment deployment and hazard containment, you protect personnel, assets, and the environment during high-pressure emergencies.

ERT Leaders play a pivotal role in maintaining site safety and resilience. You must be decisive and authoritative to lead diverse teams under extreme stress. You will liaise with site management and external emergency services to ensure all rescue efforts are conducted safely and in strict accordance with national regulatory standards.
