• Build strong, collaborative working relationships with other departments, teams, and vendors, demonstrating mutual respect and a commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient workplace.
• Contribute directly to daily operational activities involved in running a large-scale offshore oil and gas production installation as an integral part of a multi-skilled team.
• Actively participate in the electronic Permit to Work system, ensuring a safe working environment and minimizing production downtime wherever possible.
• In an emergency, carry out operational responsibilities safely and effectively in accordance with the Platform Emergency Response procedures, under the direction of the Emergency Response Team (ERT), and maintain the required training for emergency duties.
• Commit to the Competence Assurance process and undertake all required training and assessments, progressing toward senior operator competencies in either the CRO or AA role.
• Conduct sampling and analysis at the required frequencies, ensuring all activities are completed in full compliance with company procedures.
