  • Ability to work effectively across cultures, jurisdictions and business environments.

  • Experience supporting certification-body, client or regulatory audits.
  • Strong data-analysis capability using QHSSE systems of record and assurance information.

Requirements
  • Ability and willingness to travel approximately 40–60% of the time, including significant international travel.
  • Travel to EnerMech regions, projects, workshops, client locations, remote sites and operational facilities as assurance priorities require.
  • Ability and willingness to travel offshore when required, subject to appropriate medical, competency and training requirements.
