HSSE Management – various grades Do you have experience developing and applying pragmatic, proportionate HSSE (health, safety, security, environment) management systems in organisations delivering or operating hazardous facilities? If so, you could: • Work with great clients at the forefront of the energy transition., • Play a meaningful role in delivering net zero - safely and effectively., • Be part of a company you’re proud of, that genuinely cares about its people., • Help shape the culture of a growing, employee-owned consultancy - and share in its success. BACKGROUND Cairn Risk is an independent, employee-owned risk management consulting business providing pragmatic and proportionate support to enable the transition to net carbon zero in a safe, effective and attentive way. You can find out all about us at ___. OPPORTUNITY All of our work supports the energy transition – helping ensure assets like on- and off-shore wind farms and hydrogen production and storage facilities are conceived, designed and delivered with risks to people, environment, business and reputation reduced As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) across their full lifecycle. Much of this is grounded in a technical/system safety approach - identifying and assessing major hazards, and defining effective risk reduction measures. But defining controls is only part of the story. To translate risk reduction into real-world outcomes, organisations need effective management systems - ensuring controls are implemented, embedded and continuously monitored. And while technical safety focuses on major accident hazards, there is an equal responsibility to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the workforce as well as the environment and asset security. That’s where this role comes in. We’ve expanded into HSSE management to provide a fully integrated approach - bringing together system safety and workplace safety. This allows us to support the full risk management cycle: from identifying risks, to implementing controls, to ensuring those controls remain effective in practice. This capability is seeing strong demand and rapid growth. As a result, we are looking for consultants at a range of experience levels to help us build this offering - supporting clients with pragmatic advice, workplace reviews and assurance activities, while shaping how this service evolves. If you have the experience to contribute, and want to be part of a collaborative, growing and purpose-driven business, we’d love to hear from you.
