**Job description**:
**The role and our team**

The Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) is responsible for developing, administering and ensuring compliance with the environmental regulatory regime for the UKCS, in relation to offshore oil and gas exploration, production, decommissioning, gas unloading and storage, and carbon storage.

The Offshore Environmental Inspectorate is a team within OPRED which works to protect the environment through implementation of the United Kingdom’s offshore environmental regulations. To ensure continued high standards of environmental performance and protection we are looking for a suitably experienced and qualified person to join the Inspectorate Team. The team brings together individuals with varied but specific work experiences and skills in order that all environmental aspects associated with offshore oil and gas activities are competently monitored.

**Person specification**:
**Key responsibilities**

Part of a dynamic team, your role will be diverse and involve all aspects associated with the regulation of environmental legislation and pollution prevention within the offshore oil and gas industry.

Your key responsibilities will include:
1. Working closely with offshore operators and owners to ensure required implementation and compliance with offshore environmental regulations through assessment, inspection, investigation and enforcement of matters covered by legislation;
2. Assessing submissions made to OPRED by operators and owners for regulatory approval or acceptance;
3. Contributing to the fulfilment of a planned inspection programme to achieve agreed targets, and have responsibility for maintaining a regulatory overview of a portfolio of owners and operators and their offshore assets;
4. Investigating contraventions of offshore legislation. This may involve the preparation of reports to the relevant prosecution authorities;
5. Participating in an on-call incident response rota in order to liaise with industry on offshore oil & gas incidents and to ensure that operators and owners respond to any pollution incident in accordance with their oil pollution emergency plans. As part of the on-call role successful applicants will need to be located within 2 hours drive of Aberdeen;
6. Representing OPRED on industry workgroups. Whilst inspection will be the main focus of your job, you may also be required to undertake other activities in the support of OPRED’s regulatory function to help achieve OPRED’s objectives.

You will need to actively develop and maintain effective liaison with assigned industry representatives, other Government departments and agencies as well as other non-governmental organisations on environmental issues.
