Sr. Director HSE

Role

• Serve as the enterprise HSE deputy to the Senior Vice President of HSE.
• Lead HSE staff functions across global operations and develop the capability and continuity of the HSE leadership team.

• Act as the enterprise HSE authority for serious incidents, regulatory inspections and crisis response whenever the Senior Vice President is unavailable.

The Sr. Director of HSE leads and initiates enterprise HSE programs, escalates significant risks and exercises TEAM's Stop Work Obligation when conditions warrant. The role recommends and, within delegated authority, approves HSE policy changes, manages the department budget and makes external commitments in line with the company delegation of authority. Operational leaders remain accountable for safe work execution; the Sr. Director sets the standards, provides advice and independent assurance and escalates when controls fall short.
