• Represent and promote CDCPK with central HSSE, governance and external assurance teams, influencing standards, escalating material risks and converting identified requirements into practical controls and accountable action plans.

Your profile

• NEBOSH Diploma plus chartered status, or equivalent senior HSSE leadership experience in high-hazard operations.
• Expert knowledge of UK HSSE legal, regulatory, management-system, assurance and operational-risk requirements.
• Proven functional leadership capability, including coaching, influencing, challenging and securing ownership without direct line authority.
