**Job summary**:
At HSE, we work with one goal in mind - to help keep Britain’s workforce safe and healthy. Our work touches virtually every sector of Great Britain’s industry. Combining specialists from numerous fields, we strive to keep people and their working environments safe.

HSE's Chemicals Explosives and Microbiological Hazards Division (CEMHD) specialises in proactively regulating sectors where there are high and sustained levels of societal concern over the potential risks of harm. We understand that these sectors make our modern society and we work to ensure that major hazard regulation continues to deliver its strategic goals.

This new role offers a great opportunity to become and develop as an explosives professional, joining the sector at an exciting time as it embraces new technologies and develops new capabilities. You will be playing an important part in ensuring that people and places are protected from the risks associated with explosives.

**Job description**:
Our Explosives Permissioning Officers will ensure employers across Great Britain - a whole range of essential industries with thousands of workers - work safely. In this role, you can utilise your potential, and develop your technical knowledge and practical experience to ensure that the explosives permissions HSE grants enable a range of industry sectors to operate and develop, and provide appropriate levels of safety to workers and the public.

A career with HSE gives you a rare opportunity to visit and interact with different and diverse employers and work activities, one day you could be engaging with a large multi-national munitions manufacturer and the next a small fireworks store.

You’ll work alongside HSE technical and regulatory specialists to ensure explosives activities are operating within the legislative framework by ensuring that explosives licences and transport classifications are relevant, accurate and enabling. You will be expected to explain your decisions internally and externally to colleagues, designated authorities and applicants.

Your work will make the most of your knowledge and potential - whether that’s visiting explosive storage site to help an employer understand how their licence can be drafted to both meet their needs and provide an appropriate level of protection to workers and the public or reviewing test data for an explosives classification to determine what hazard those explosives present in transport. As you can see this role will broaden your knowledge, experience and professional credibility like no other role can.

Together with the widest range of health and safety specialists in Britain, you’ll be helping to protect thousands of people, whilst working in an inclusive environment where all our people can thrive and be themselves.

You will get experience of the work we do from day one, enabling you to gain knowledge in the regulation of explosives and valuable experience in regulatory science, working with national and international legislation, communicating with stakeholders, report writing and developing of skills in regulatory decision making. You will be supported by your manager and colleagues to understand your role in HSE, develop your skills and support you in your continuing professional development. All of the post locations include specialist and regulatory colleagues providing a wider support network.

Please see Explosives Ordnance Engineering Apprenticeship (cranfield.ac.uk) for more information on the Masters Apprenticeship course.

Given the distributed nature of the Unit and that HSE regulates sites across the whole of GB you will be expected to spend periods working away from home, typically 2 to 3 days every month. HSE is flexible on how this expectation is delivered and recognises individuals’ personal commitments. You will also be expected to meet all of the attendance requirements of the Level 7 apprenticeship which will include several week-long periods away from home each year.

Part time working hours are available for this role. We can accept part time applicants who can commit to working a minimum of 22.2 hours (3 days) per week

**Person specification**:
Key responsibilities include:

- Advising and engaging on explosives safety matters (with particular focus on the licensing of explosives storage and
