HSE Expert; Oil & Gas

Role Type

• Embedded in an AI/digital use‑case delivery squad
• Reports to the Consulting Delivery Lead
• Works alongside product managers, data scientists/engineers, and solution architects

We need an HSE professional with 5–10 years of operational Oil & Gas experience who can act as the functional bridge between the business and the technical build team.

They DO NOT need to code—but they must be able to translate HSE requirements into technical inputs, validate model outputs, and work closely with the delivery team throughout build and rollout.

This role supports AI‑enabled use case development across the full value chain (upstream, midstream, downstream). Key strength is industry credibility + structured analytical thinking + strong documentation
