• Proven experience developing and implementing global HSSE strategies.
• Strong knowledge of international HSSE regulations, including CDM 2015 (UK) and similar standards worldwide.
• Experience with ISO management systems and multi-country compliance.
• Strategic influence skills and ability to drive cultural change.
