Offshore ERPD HSE Representative

Job Details

EPRD Offshore HSE Representative (HSER)

Offshore | Equal Time Rotation | Short-Term Contract (3 - 6 months)

Role Overview

An Operator requires experienced Health, Safety and Environment Representatives (HSERs) to support a 2026 offshore Engineering Preparation, Removal and Disposal (EPRD) campaign.

The campaign comprises multiple major decommissioning activities executed from Construction Support Vessels (CSVs) across several disembarked offshore assets. Activity levels are expected to increase significantly from March through late autumn, with varying campaign durations and Personnel on Board (POB) levels driving the need for strong, visible HSE leadership.

The HSER will provide robust, safety-focused oversight across complex offshore work scopes. Roles operate on an equal-time rota, with flexibility required to respond to operational demands. Some onshore work during the onboarding phase will also be required to ensure alignment with project-specific systems, processes, and the overall campaign schedule.

These are competitive, short-term contracts (typically 3–6 months), reflecting the specialist expertise and leadership required for the successful delivery of critical EPRD operations.

Basic Purpose of the Role

The EPRD Health, Environment and Safety Representative will form part of the offshore EPRD vessel team and will be responsible for oversight and auditing of platform preparation activities undertaken by the removal contractor from their Construction Support Vessel.

• Project standards and procedures

• Relevant regulatory requirements

• Bridging documentation

The HSER will be responsible for environmental and site safety performance monitoring and reporting, incident reporting, and interfacing with the onshore HSE team. The role will work closely with the Removal Contractor’s Safety Officer and will report directly to the EPRD Offshore Installation Manager (OIM).

Participation in incident investigations related to offshore assets or vessels operating within the 500-metre safety zones will also be required. The role may involve night-shift working to ensure an appropriate balance of supervision throughout the campaign.
