We’re looking for an experienced production operations professional who knows safe systems of work and can administer the permit to work system at Todd Energy’s sites.
About the role
Reporting to the Operations Superintendent, you’ll administer the Permit to Work process at Todd Energy’s operational sites, making sure work is properly planned, controlled and carried out safely.
You’ll be predominantly based at Kapuni, while working across both Kapuni and McKee Mangahewa depending on operational requirements.
Overview
Key responsibilities include:
- Administer the site Permit to Work process and system, making sure requirements are understood and applied correctly.
- Provide clear guidance on health and safety requirements for employees and contractors carrying out work on site.
- Contribute to operations standards, procedures and Operational Assurance activities.
- Apply safe systems of work, including Permit to Work, Management of Change and Operational Integrity requirements.
- Train and mentor operations staff, sharing your knowledge and helping people work through permitting and operational issues.
Requirements
About you
You already understand the realities of production operations and why getting permitting right matters. You’re comfortable working through permitting issues, clarifying requirements and challenging a proposed approach when something doesn’t look right.
You take safe work seriously and understand that an effective Permit to Work process is about more than following the steps. You can consider what is happening operationally while maintaining the standards and controls needed for work to proceed safely.
You’re comfortable working independently and using your own judgement, while knowing when to involve others. You can explain technical requirements clearly and work constructively with employees, contractors and site teams.
You want to contribute to the success of Todd Energy through personal development beyond Permit to Work.
Key requirements for the role:
- Practical production operations experience, with a working understanding of permitting and safe systems of work.
- PTW Issuer and User NZQA unit standards.
- Practical experience of safe systems of work, such as Permit to Work, Management of Change and Operational Integrity.
- Familiarity with relevant engineering and operating standards and regulations, and with asset management practices such as Facilities Planning, Integrated Asset Planning and Operational Assurance.
- Experience contributing to HSE management within operations, such as taking part in or leading emergency response.
