Responsibilities also include custodianship of designated EET Fuels inspection procedures, leading RBI reviews for major CAPEX projects, and supporting external audits or regulatory interactions, including UKAS, insurers or competent authorities. The role may also include supervision and development of a graduate Integrity Engineer.

• Lead learning‑from‑incident investigations arising from failures, quality issues or SIMS actions
• Act as project lead for integrity projects as required and serve as custodian for designated Inspection and Integrity procedures
• Support HSSE compliance, audit reporting, KPI delivery and adherence to Triple Goal Zero principles
• Drive cost, efficiency and operational improvements, identifying and delivering cost efficiencies within the area of responsibility
• Support departmental digitalisation initiatives, working with IT and the wider business to implement fit‑for‑purpose solutions
• Support turnaround events, duty rotas and participate in relevant external industry working groups as required
