  • Support the HSEQ Manager in preparing RAMS, audits, and other safety documentation.
  • Conduct Quality Assurance (QA) checks, including pre-work inspections and post-completion sign-offs.
  • Compile and collate test certificates, reports, and handover documentation.
  • Lead and chair technical meetings with internal teams, clients, and DNO representatives.
