Contour Global, a KKR-backed Independent Power Producer (IPP), operates across the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Africa, managing a diversified portfolio of nearly 6 GW in renewable generation, flexible thermal power, and battery energy storage systems. The company is advancing its transition to a predominantly renewable platform through the decarbonization of its thermal assets and the expansion of large-scale renewable and battery storage projects. With in-house expertise in development, engineering, and operations, Contour Global currently has over 2 GW of renewable and BESS projects under construction and approximately 15 GW in development. The company collaborates with utilities, industrial clients, and digital infrastructure providers to deliver customized power solutions via long-term contracts, corporate PPAs, and powered-land agreements, accelerating time-to-market for data center developments.

Key duties include ensuring adherence to HSEQ standards through ongoing awareness initiatives such as safety inductions, supervision, and toolbox talks for employees, visitors, and contractors. The role involves developing and executing monthly HSEQ training and awareness programs for all personnel, contractors, and stakeholders. Additionally, the HSE Officer must guarantee that all workplace activities comply with HSEQ protocols, implement an internal audits and inspections program, and submit accurate HSEQ data to Contour Global’s online database (Velocity EHS) as well as to relevant governmental and stakeholder entities.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
