• Ensure compliance with relevant HSE legislation, standards, and recognised best practice.

• Provide expert HSE advice to senior leaders and operational teams.

• Drive contractor HSE management, ensuring strong governance and performance oversight.

• Develop and deliver HSE training and engagement programmes for employees and contractors.

• Monitor, analyse, and report on HSE performance, using data and insights to inform decisions and drive improvements.
