Job description

Source Solutions are working with an established, reputable and growing engineering and environmental services business, in identifying an experienced Confined Spaces Authorised Person, to play a key role in their confined spaces training service.

As the Confined Spaces Authorised Persons Coordinator, you will plan, organise and oversee the activities of up to 5 other Confined Spaces Authorised Persons within Portsmouth Naval base / dockyard. Previous marine experience is not required as you will be trained in this element - rather what is most important is the experience and ability to lead the Authorised Persons function in this key area of the business.

There will be opportunities to upskill through courses should you wish, as well as a good deal of responsibility which will develop over time as the department and the company continue to grow. You may also gain experience in other areas of Health and Safety to add to your skillset.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Confined Spaces Authorised Person to settle in to a role that is located mostly on a single site (although with some occasional travel to Plymouth Naval Base) and offers the chance to develop over the longer term within a leadership position.

Confined Spaces Authorised Persons Coordinator profile:

• Holds valid Confined Spaces AP certification
• Strong experience of working in an autonomous AP position
• Strong organisation and communication skills
• Willingness to learn and develop further
• Ability to gain SC clearance

On offer in return is a good salary with clear opportunities to learn and develop within a supportive and collaborative culture, predictable hours and working patterns and the opportunity to play a key role in a premium area of the business.
