Back to jobs HSE Lead, Global Programs and Systems Remote Apply HSE Lead, Global Programs and Systems About the Company The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on antiquated manual mining techniques– even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers. KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models—alongside our novel sensors—to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. In the eight years since founding, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists. KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold has a portfolio of more than 80 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery. KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T. Rowe Price and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Durable Capital, StepStone, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi. About The Position: KoBold operates exploration programs across Africa, North America, Europe, and Australia, and is scaling faster than any independent explorer in the industry. As HSE Lead, Programs and Systems, you will design and own the HSE management system, digital tooling, and training infrastructure that keep people safe across every jurisdiction we operate in. You will build the systems, standards, and software that empower safety ownership at the field level. If you have ever wished you could tear up your company's HSE stack and rebuild it with modern tools, an AI native workflow, adequate resourcing, and strong executive support to do it right, this role is that opportunity. Additional responsibilities will include: Own the KoBold HSE Management System end to end, including architecture, document hierarchy, review frequency, and continuous improvement aligned to ISO 45001. Own KoBold's digital HSE stack, including DATS, Forwood, and any additional platforms. Lead vendor evaluation, workflow configuration, integrations, and administration. Design HSE analytics that field teams actually use, including leading and lagging indicators, real time dashboards, and communications that surface risk before it becomes an incident. Own KoBold's AI in HSE strategy. Identify high leverage applications that optimize or replace existing software tools, facilitate risk assessment, critical risk verification, observations and inspections, etc. Own the global document library for all HSE standards, programs, and operating procedures. Own the global training strategy and the Learning Management System, including role based curriculum, certification tracking, compliance reporting, competency verification, and content building. Design cultural initiatives that engage field crews and contractors, not just corporate, including recognition, campaigns, safety moments, and leading indicator storytelling. Partner with regional HSE Managers and Field Operations leaders. You provide the platform, standards, data, and analytics; they deliver in the field. Directly support HSE for field campaigns, requiring intermittent travel to field projects across the globe. What You Will Bring (Must Have) Five or more years in HSE with meaningful time owning or administering enterprise HSE software (DATS, Intelex, Cority, Enablon, Sphera, VelocityEHS, or comparable). Demonstrated experience building or materially improving an HSE management system aligned to ISO 45001, ANSI Z10, or an equivalent framework. Track record designing HSE training programs and administering a Learning Management System. Comfort working across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory regimes. Strong written communication. This role produces the standards other people follow. Ability to lead through influence, driving change across regional operations, field teams, and executive stakeholders without direct authority. Proficiency with document control platforms and modern collaboration stacks such as SharePoint, Confluence, and Google Workspace. Ability to travel to remote exploration sites and pass site specific medical fitness screening when required. Bonus (Nice to Have) Experience in mining, exploration, oil and gas, construction, or another high risk industry. ISO 45001 Lead Auditor, CSP, CIH, ASP, or NEBOSH Diploma. Experience using AI or LLM tooling to build HSE workflows (document search, incident triage, content generation). BI and analytics experience with leading and lagging indicators (Power BI, Tableau, or SQL). Multi country experience, especially in Africa or emerging markets. Prior experience transitioning off a third party HSE provider to in house capability. Familiarity with low code or scripting tools (Retool, Airtable, Python) for building lightweight HSE tools. Compensation and Benefits Base salary range: $125,000 to $170,000 USD, depending on experience and location. Total compensation also includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package covering health, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, parental leave, and a home office stipend. Location, Travel Remote, based in North America. Expect roughly 10 to 15 percent travel to KoBold sites globally, weighted toward the first 12 months as you establish standards and build relationships.
