Head of HSSEQ

Stillstrom, a business venture owned by the A.P. Møller Maersk Group, is a leading global provider of offshore power and charging solutions. Our mission is to eliminate offshore vessel emissions and enable clean, reliable offshore power across the maritime sector.

Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, Stillstrom is an international team of 30+ professionals working at the forefront of maritime electrification. We design, fabricate, test, and deploy innovative offshore charging systems for vessels operating in offshore wind farms and other marine environments.

Working within a multidisciplinary environment, you will be responsible for Quality, Health, Safety, Security and Environment (QHSSE), embedding safety and quality into every stage of our product development, from design and build through installation, commissioning and operation.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will lead the QHSSE scope for our offshore charging solutions, reporting to the Chief Technical Officer. You will ensure the safety of people, the protection of the environment and offshore assets, and a high standard of quality in everything we deliver, while managing relationships with Classification Societies, authorities, clients and vessel owners and operators.

• Develop, implement and continuously improve Stillstrom’s QHSSE management systems, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 requirements
• Champion a quality mindset within the technical team by reviewing deliverables
• Provide safety engineering expertise during product development, ensuring operational risks are identified early, assessed and mitigated to as low as reasonably practicable
• Lead and facilitate technical risk studies such as FMEA/FMECA, Human Factors analysis, HAZOP and HAZID
• Play a prominent role in Technology Qualification of novel technologies and in Stillstrom’s relationship with Classification Societies
• Identify and ensure compliance with QHSSE legislation and standards in the geographical areas where Stillstrom operates, and coordinate QHSSE aspects of permitting and consent applications
• Lead and participate in supply chain management activities, including supplier audits and site inspections
• Lead incident investigations, monitor QHSSE performance and trends, and ensure lessons learned and operating experience are captured and shared across the organisation
• Manage and develop the QHSSE team and supervise external QHSSE resources, such as facilitated risk reviews, audits and inspections

Qualifications And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering or a related discipline, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant safety experience in the energy or maritime sector; offshore renewables is preferred
• Significant, demonstrable experience in both quality management and health, safety and environment (HSE)
• Experience in safety engineering within product development, ideally on novel technological concepts rather than only mature technologies within established frameworks
• Hands-on experience with Technology Qualification, including working directly with Classification Societies on novel technologies
• Proven track record in safety management, with ability to implement effective change in an organisation
• Proven track record in quality assurance of technical deliverables, with the tenacity to challenge errors and omissions constructively
• Ability to lead complex technical risk analyses such as FMEA/FMECA, Human Factors analysis and HAZOP, in addition to HAZID
• Thorough knowledge of ISO management system frameworks (9001, 14001 and 45001); certified auditor preferred
• Experience with safety management frameworks like G+ Safe by Design and CDM
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

What You’ll Bring

You are a structured, detail-oriented and self-driven QHSSE professional with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. You promote safety in all respects and are a role model for it. You are collaborative, open-minded and solution-oriented, and you build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, while having the confidence to raise and facilitate correction when quality or safety standards are not being met.

Working Conditions

• The position can be based in Copenhagen, Denmark or Aberdeen, UK
• The nature of the role requires infrequent offshore visits - less then 20%

Stillstrom is on a fast-track journey to bring our innovative concept of offshore charging to market. Think of the changes that the electrical charging infrastructure is doing for the introduction of electrical vehicles and imagine the journey we have ahead of us driving the same development for vessels at sea.
