We’ll look to you for:

• Overseeing and sustaining the V&C competence management process to ensure adherence to all applicable standards and requirements.
• Identifying, evaluating, and mitigating business and operational risks arising from competence gaps.
• Partnering with managers to appoint and train qualified competence assessors.
• Maintaining a rigorous audit framework for competence assessments, mentoring, and licensing processes.
• Monitoring workforce competence levels and supporting strategic resource planning for project needs.
• Ensuring timely renewal, remediation, or corrective actions for expired or forthcoming competence certifications.
• Implementing and maintaining mentoring processes aligned with standards and governance expectations.
• Acting as the principal point of contact for internal and external audits related to competence management.
• Providing regular updates to leadership on competence status, risks, and performance indicators.
• Driving continuous improvement by reviewing and enhancing competence-related processes.

• Comprehensive understanding of competence assessment, certification, licensing, and mentoring requirements within a safety-critical or regulated environment.
• Working knowledge of safety-critical work requirements, risk assessment methodologies, and EHS expectations.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word) and familiarity with database or competence management systems.
• Strong organizational, planning, and prioritization skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear reports and stakeholder updates.
• Fluent in English, with strong professional communication and presentation capability.
• A valid driving license.
