Job description

Description: Join us in this role where you’ll act as point of contact for standardised QHSE support for cross-site delivery teams, incl. Heavy Lift, Major Component Exchanges, Special Tasks, Technical Project Management, to ensure the safe planning, mobilization and execution of projects. You’ll be geographically based to mainly support our Generation sites in the UK but might be supporting teams also in Northern Europe. Preferably, your location will be in our offices in Grimsby or in Barrow-in-Furness. Hybrid working is allowed but primarily you will be offshore or in our offices. Cost of travel to base office location is covered by consultant, any other travels will be covered by the client.

You will be part of our QHSE Cross-Site team where you, together with your colleagues, will act as a professional role model and trusted resource supporting a wide range of stakeholders within the organisation, as well as suppliers. You’ll provide proactive support for the improvement of the safety culture of the teams within our Generation Execution and Engineering organisation whilst playing a key role in enabling these teams to safely deliver their work streams across our existing operational fleet.

As the offshore project teams are working hard to mature their offshore emergency response setup, part of your tasks will be to actively support this track with HAZID facilitation including development of risk assessments and concluding reports, bow-tie analysis and emergency response performance standards setup and implementation. So next to your hands‑on offshore wind experience you must hold detailed HSE risk management skills.

Your primary tasks will be:

• supporting the projects with the development and implementation of UK emergency response performance standards and related assurance activities, including facilitation of HAZID sessions, development of HAZID reports, bow-tie analysis and emergency response performance standards.
• planning and mobilizing projects and suppliers for safe execution including developing and reviewing risk assessments and method statements.
• proactively supporting the clients safety culture through offshore presence, inspections, emergency drills and exercises from vessels and turbines.
• Investigating incidents and ensuring correct registrations to our incident management system to apply learning across our business.
• identifying and assessing opportunities for standardisation, as well as procedural and design improvements and consequently running these improvement projects.

Your most important competencies and experiences are:

• You possess high HSE risk management competencies and have worked with bowties, barrier management, performance standards and assurance activities.
• You have experience in facilitating HAZIDs and summing up the results in a report.
• You have hands‑on experience with offshore emergency response setups.
• You care about people, make yourself approachable and fun to work with, and can communicate effectively with people at all levels of the organisation.
• You are familiar with running small projects. You will take ownership of areas of responsibility, working through challenges to bring people together and get things done.
• You have experience of working in a complex corporate environment and where your priorities for the week can shift due to change in project plans.
• You have experience from working in offshore environments, both O&G as well as wind, and are willing to travel to operational offshore sites in the UK.
• You hold a full GWO including Enhanced First Aid for offshore wind and a OGUK medical certificate including chester step.
• You possess a technical background, and preferably have a NEBOSH general certificate, as a minimum.
• Maintain successful cooperation / collaboration with the HSE stakeholders.
