Job Description

As Lead QHSE Engineer, you are the senior QHSE point of contact for Project Management, vessel teams and the wider organisation.

You take responsibility for the QHSE approach within assigned projects and ensure that requirements are translated into effective plans, processes and actions. You provide direction where needed, challenge decisions constructively and help project teams manage QHSE risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Your responsibilities include:

• Coach and support colleagues and project teams on QHSE matters and share knowledge and lessons learned across projects and vessels.
• Take ownership of the QHSE scope for assigned offshore projects, from preparation and tendering through mobilisation, execution and close-out;

Education & Experience

You are comfortable operating independently and taking ownership. You know when to advise, when to challenge and when a clear decision is needed.

You can move between strategic discussions and operational detail: from discussing project risks with senior stakeholders to investigating an incident, reviewing vessel modification or joining a project team offshore.

Above all, you can turn QHSE expertise into practical action and create an environment in which people take ownership of safety, quality and environmental performance.
