Ready to play your part?

At AWE, it's not just a job, it's far more than that. Our shared purpose is to help keep the nation safe. 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. Please note these roles are not primarily construction (CDM) HSE positions.

Successful Candidates will be responsible for:

• 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).

Whilst not to be considered a tick list, we'd like you to have experience in some of the following:

• 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.

Work hard, be rewarded:

We ask a lot and set the bar high because our work truly matters. In return we offer balance, with award winning benefits including:

AWE has wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:
