Administration Officer

The Energy Division regulates the UK’s major hazard industries – companies whose products are essential to our everyday life, but where failures in safety management and risk control can lead to catastrophic harm to workers and the public at large. We are responsible for securing safety across a range of industries including energy production (oil, gas and emerging technologies), chemical/pharmaceutical production and storage and mines, explosives and pipelines.

Operational Support Staff contribute to the delivery of the Strategy by supporting the work of HSE Inspectors across a range of industries including Manufacturing, Construction, Chemicals and Energy. The support is delivered through a range of established and developing procedures.

Specialist Diving Inspector

The UK’s offshore industry is here for decades to come and so is the need for its regulator. This is your opportunity to be part of its future and to make a difference using your knowledge and skills whilst continuing your development within the unique variety and depth of challenge that Energy Division offers you.

Diving has long been recognised as a major accident hazard offshore with diving operations presenting and being exposed to very real risks whilst working from an installation, alongside from a DSV or daughter craft or as a connected activity. Robust regulation of these diving operations is critical to ensure that all offshore personnel, divers and non-divers, return home healthy and safe from work.

This is a unique opportunity to influence and improve safety across a wide range of activities, both offshore and onshore, including ageing installations, the significant new build programme and the most high-tech innovations.
