• Strong knowledge of HSSE management systems, risk management, auditing and incident investigation.
• A good understanding of relevant UK health, safety and environmental legislation.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage at all levels.
• A proactive, adaptable approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.

 
Experience in carbon capture and storage, oil and gas, chemicals, refining, utilities or other major-hazard industries would be particularly beneficial. Knowledge of COMAH, environmental permitting, CDM and emergency response arrangements would also be advantageous.
