Job Description:

The Health & Safety Manager is the lead for health and safety across OEGEN’s portfolio, embedding proactive risk management, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and strengthening a culture of safety excellence. This role does not carry sole operational responsibility for contractor safety or site-level delivery (this is to be achieved through third party safety advisory companies) but instead ensures that effective systems, oversight, competent parties and governance are in place.

Job Responsibility:

Provide direction and accountability for H&S within OEGEN
Oversee and manage the performance of external H&S advisory providers
Act as the focal point for OEGEN boards and funds on H&S performance, risks, and opportunities
Champion continuous improvement and a positive safety culture across diverse technologies and geographies
Develop and maintain OEGEN’s H&S strategy, policies, and management system, aligned with international best practice and local legal requirements
Provide oversight, ensuring that H&S duties are appropriately delegated to external service providers and contractors (e.g.,CDM appointments, competence checks)
Lead board-level engagement on H&S, delivering clear, actionable insights
Advise on H&S policy, systems, and standards, ensuring compliance across jurisdictions
Conduct reviews and gap analyses against regulatory requirements, advising on best practices
Maintain oversight of supplier competence frameworks (e.g., Achilles) and contractor approvals
Oversee identification, assessment, and monitoring of key safety risks across the portfolio
Ensure OEGEN directors and teams are appropriately trained to fulfil their H&S duties
Embed H&S risk management within investment and operational decision-making
Consolidate H&S KPIs and incident data provided by external advisors, preparing clear board-level reporting with trend analysis
Act as the senior escalation point for major H&S incidents, providing confident leadership during crises
Coordinate advisory input and ensure alignment to OEGEN’s incident management
Support lessons learned processes to drive continuous improvement

Requirements:

Strong background in renewable energy or complex infrastructure sectors
In-depth understanding of UK CDM regulations, with experience managing safety from a client’s perspective
Experience working with external advisors and managing H&S across multiple geographies
Ability to communicate complex risks to non-technical stakeholders
Flexible, collaborative, and solutions-focused mindset, with willingness to travel internationally
