Lead the development, delivery and follow-up of HSSE improvement plans, engaging operational leaders, supervisors, contractors and the wider HSSE team as required.
Conduct regular field verification and assurance activities across offshore and onshore operations to assess compliance, verify critical controls and identify opportunities for improvement.
Verify the implementation and effectiveness of critical controls associated with fatality and serious injury risks, including working at height, lifting operations, electrical safety, marine transfers, vessel operations and contractor activities.
Provide HSSE oversight and assurance of OEMs, marine contractors and service providers, including participation in contractor reviews, inspections, audits and performance improvement activities.
Maintain a strong understanding of the HSSE risk profile across the O&M assets, escalating or intervening where risk levels, control effectiveness or performance trends require action.
Coach leaders and supervisors in safety leadership, operational discipline, learning from events, effective risk management and creating a strong speak-up culture.
Plan and participate in regular offshore and onshore site visits to test the effectiveness of safety programmes, engage with frontline teams and verify that controls are working in practice.
Support a learning culture by ensuring incidents, near misses and high-potential events are reported, investigated and translated into effective learning and corrective actions.
Monitor, analyse and report leading and lagging HSSE metrics in line with company standards, regulatory requirements and operational performance routines.
Support emergency response preparedness through scenario planning, drills, exercises, training and follow-up of actions arising from exercises or real events.
Support environmental compliance and environmental risk management, including pollution prevention, waste management, permit compliance and environmental incident investigation.
Support identification and management of major hazard and operational integrity risks, including electrical systems, offshore access, marine operations and emergency response capability.
Support Control of Work by advising on minimum requirements, risk assessment quality, control selection, mitigation measures and task verification.
