  • Ability to understand the business side of labor, including staffing needs, field coverage, cost awareness, and alignment of HSE resources with rig activity. • Ability to maintain focus, self-motivation, change agility, and manager-level discipline while leading through Senior HSE Advisors, aligning the team around regional HSE priorities, customer expectations, employee development, and operational excellence.
  • Promote a diverse and inclusive work environment where employees of all backgrounds feel included, and their contributions are valued.
  • Make employment decisions in a manner consistent with all Company policies, including the Company's Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Harassment Policy.
  • Promptly address and resolve concerns and disputes among team members, with the goal of building a stronger, more cohesive work group.
