Could this role be the opportunity for you to play your part? AWE is recruiting for a HSE Manager to work alongside designers, project managers and operators during the early stages of the facility lifecycle/rekit (e.g. requirements capture, design) and then during transition from construction to operations to ensure the outcome meets all HSE legal requirements and reduces risks to the end user. Successful candidates are likely to have experience of facility design and transition to operational facilities. These roles are not primarily construction (CDM) HSE positions.

Responsibilities

• Influencing design of new build and facility rekits to ensure all operating hazards are identified and risks control measures are incorporated such that the end facility is ALARP.
• Representing the end user to ensure installed equipment and processes are compliant with all HSE legislation.
• Ensuring all appropriate licences and permits associated with the operation of the facility are in place prior to handover.
• Ensuring all HSE justifications, documentation and arrangements are in place prior to handover to demonstrate compliance with all HSE legislation.
• Will be required to gain a firm understanding of AWE's Management System to help manage implementation into new/changed workplaces.
• Will be required to gain a good understanding of operational risks to ensure the risks are considered and addressed at all phases of the project.
• Must have great interpersonal skills to work constructively with many different internal and external stakeholders.
• May be required to lead hazard identification and risk mitigation workshops (e.g. HAZOPs).

Qualifications

• Degree in a science or engineering based subject or vocational qualification (HND or equivalent).
• Good understanding of all HSE disciplines e.g. Process Safety, Environment, Safety Cases, etc.
• Understanding of current HSE management system standards.
• Understanding of current HSE legislation, standards and guidance (including Licence conditions) relevant to the role.
• Understanding of the facility lifecycle and the opportunities to reduce risks during these activities.
• Understanding of configuration and change management techniques.

Benefits

• Package: £45,760 - £60,000 (depending on your suitability, qualifications, and level of experience).
• 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
• Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
• Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
• Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
• Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
• Life Assurance (4 x annual salary).
• Discounts - access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
• Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring.
