Field HSE Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Field HSE Manager is responsible for implementing and monitoring health, safety and environmental standards across field or project operations. Candidates are typically expected to hold a recognised HSE qualification, such as NEBOSH or IOSH, and have substantial experience in construction, energy, offshore, or other high-risk industrial environments. Knowledge of UK HSE legislation, risk assessment, incident investigation, emergency response, audits, contractor management and permit-to-work systems is important. The role requires strong communication, leadership and reporting skills, with the ability to influence site teams and challenge unsafe practices. Travel to operational sites, offshore work or rotational assignments may be required. Saipem would expect a proactive, practical professional who can promote a strong safety culture while supporting delivery and operational efficiency.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Roustabouts have no route; degree-level engineers (going rate GBP 46,800 to 58,700) are sponsored, and electricians and pipe fitters only if on a shortage list.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: The July 2026 review proposes access from January 2027 for electricians, pipe fitters, welders and ship officers; not yet decided. Roustabout jobs are on no list read.
