Every day, North Star vessels operate in some of the most demanding environments in the world.
Our crews deliver safety-critical services to offshore installations across the North Sea, providing emergency response, rescue, and specialist maritime support that millions rely upon, but few ever see.
Behind every safe operation, every successful audit, every lesson learned, and every risk avoided is a team committed to raising standards and doing the right thing.
We're looking for a QHSSE Advisor to be part of that team.
This is an opportunity to step into a highly influential role where you'll work alongside vessel crews, operational leaders, and technical specialists to strengthen safety, improve performance, and ensure operational excellence across our fleet of Emergency Response & Rescue Vessels (ERRVs), Multi Role Support Vessels (MRSVs), and Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs).
Why This Role Matters
This isn't a role spent sitting behind a desk reviewing procedures.
You'll be out engaging with vessel teams, travelling across the fleet, investigating incidents, leading audits, challenging the status quo, and helping operational teams solve real-world problems.
You'll be a trusted advisor, a coach, an investigator, and an advocate for continual improvement.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Most importantly, you'll help ensure that our people return home safely, every day.
What You'll Be Doing
As a key member of the QHSSE team, you will:
- Drive assurance activities across vessel and shore operations.
- Lead and support audits, inspections, and compliance reviews.
- Investigate incidents and identify opportunities to strengthen operational performance.
- Support risk management and help embed effective controls throughout the business.
- Work directly with vessel crews to promote a proactive safety culture and Just Culture principles.
- Analyse trends, identify emerging risks, and influence meaningful change.
- Support emergency preparedness and operational resilience across the fleet.
- Build trusted relationships with regulators, clients, auditors, and operational leaders.
Who We're Looking For
You'll be someone who is naturally curious, comfortable asking difficult questions, and passionate about improving how things are done.
You may come from a maritime, offshore energy, shipping, defence, or other high-hazard operational environment, but what matters most is your ability to influence, engage, and drive improvement.
You'll bring:
- Experience in QHSSE, assurance, compliance, or operational safety.
- Knowledge of maritime operations and relevant industry standards.
- Strong investigation and root cause analysis capability.
- Confidence engaging with people at all levels of the organisation.
- A pragmatic and solutions-focused mindset.
- The credibility to challenge constructively and support operational teams in equal measure.
