Executive jobs in United Kingdom

HSE’s Energy Division (ED) provides effective regulation of the UK’s offshore oil and gas, pipelines, mines, diving and renewable power generation. Respected internationally, we have a long‑standing reputation for regulatory expertise that we use to deliver effective and proportionate regulation of these sectors.

UK diving projects range from entry‑level recreational instruction dives to the construction and maintenance of multi‑billion‑pound offshore wind‑farms and major hazard industries. The successful regulation of such a broad portfolio of sectors creates a unique set of challenges and rewards for a Specialist Diving Inspector. You will have the opportunity to influence health and safety standards and HSE regulation of this extensive and varied industry.

We are looking for a high calibre specialist who can, under challenge, think strategically, and identify underlying core issues. You will officially represent HSE, interacting appropriately and professionally with colleagues, site technical staff, and at the highest levels within an organisation. You will be decisive and able to influence those organisations to bring about improvements.

Your primary focus will be to apply your knowledge and experience of the UK major hazard sectors to ensure robust, proportionate and effective regulation of diving operations within that sector. You will be responsible for influencing dutyholders and stakeholders, applying your professional judgement based on extensive time served working in the UK oil & gas or other major hazard sectors, to assess regulatory compliance against current legislative requirements and industry standards. You will be supported by an exceptional team of colleagues and developed to the highest standard to confidently regulate the industry, influencing dutyholders and taking targeted and proportionate enforcement action when necessary.
