Safety Coach

We're supporting our ENI offshore contract and are looking to speak with experienced Safety Coaches to help strengthen safety culture through visible, frontline engagement.  This is a 6-month, 2/2 rotational assignment mobilising from Blackpool.

Responsibilities

• This role is all about being present where the work happens. As a Safety Coach, you'll spend your shift out on the work fronts, engaging directly with the workforce, building relationships, influencing behaviours and helping to create a culture where safety is genuinely owned by everyone.

• Maintain a continuous presence across active work fronts, supporting teams at the point of work and leading by example.

• Build strong, positive relationships with the workforce, supervisors and contractor teams through regular engagement and coaching.

• Encourage safe behaviours through constructive conversations, positive intervention and visible leadership in the field.

• Support teams with hazard identification, risk assessment and task readiness, helping to ensure work is planned and executed safely.

• Promote the effective application of Life Saving Rules, safe systems of work and client safety expectations.

• Carry out regular worksite observations, recognising good practices and identifying opportunities for improvement.

• Foster an environment where people feel comfortable raising concerns, sharing ideas and taking ownership of safety.

• Help drive a proactive safety culture by spotting potential issues early and addressing them through engagement and coaching.

• Work alongside operational teams to ensure safety remains at the forefront of every task, every day.

  This is not a desk-based position. It's an opportunity to be a visible, valued presence offshore, influencing people, supporting teams and making a meaningful difference through continuous engagement on the work front.

Qualifications

• Proven experience working offshore, ideally on platforms, jack‑ups, drilling or marine construction assets.
• Strong understanding of offshore safety standards, hazard controls, and operational risks.
• Excellent communication and coaching skills with the ability to influence diverse teams.
• Demonstrated experience in risk assessments, hazard analysis, and task planning.
• High attention to detail with a proactive approach to identifying unsafe conditions or behaviours.
• Confident working in a fast‑paced, high‑risk environment with a hands‑on coaching style.
• Relevant offshore certifications (BOSIET/FOET, GWO, or equivalent).
