  • Strategic Integration: Partner across site operations, Turnaround, Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE), Commercial, and Supply Chain Management to align business objectives and adhere to COIMS requirements.
  • Safety Culture & Assurance: Provide visible safety leadership, fostering a proactive safety culture across internal teams and external contractor partners.
