• Incident Investigation & Learning: Lead or contribute to incident investigations using structured methodologies (e.g., Causal Learning, Human Factors principles) and ensure insights are translated into actionable improvements.

• Performance & Insights: Maintain and analyze HSE data to identify trends (e.g., process safety, DROPS, line-of-fire) and provide insight-driven recommendations to improve operational performance.

• Contractor & Supply Chain Engagement: Work closely with offshore contractors and logistics providers to ensure alignment with HSE expectations and drive consistent performance across the value chain.

• Safety Culture & Human Factors: Support the deployment of Human Factors and Psychological Safety initiatives, fostering an open reporting culture and enabling continuous learning from both incidents and normal work.

• Stakeholder Interface: Act as a key link between offshore teams, onshore functions, HSE leadership, and regulatory stakeholders, supporting audits, inspections, and governance processes.
