Background
You will be part of a national team of 17 specialist Inspectors covering different geographical areas within Great Britain. You will be based in one of our regional offices, covering a local area of the country. You will also have a mentoring role, assisting Specialist Inspectors who have less electrical engineering in their background, so on occasions you would be expected to travel nationwide as circumstances dictate.

About the Role
Specialist inspectors play a critical role in HSE’s front line activities. As such you will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills in influencing and persuading, communications (written and verbal), planning and delivery, complimented by your knowledge and experience in the area of your specialism. You must be decisive and able to make sound judgements based on available evidence and be comfortable in dealing with senior staff amongst HSE’s stakeholders.

The key aspects of the job role include:

  • Providing specialist advice within and outside HSE
  • Assessing safety report submissions
  • Conducting inspections and investigations in your area of expertise
  • Providing independent expert evidence in court
As a specialist inspector you would be expected to maintain your area of expertise through professional development throughout your career, and keep up to date with latest developments.

Person Requirements
  • A degree in a relevant subject
  • Registered as a Chartered Engineer and have Membership of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) or have the experience and qualifications needed to become MIET CEng
  • Have an in-depth understanding and practical experience of operating both LV and HV electrical power systems, probably as an authorised person (ideally in the chemical industry, although this is not essential)
  • Have knowledge and experience of safe systems of work, isolation and risk assessment
  • You will hold a full driving licence that permits you to drive in the UK unless reasonable adjustments can be made in line with the Equality Act 2010
