Provide leadership, mentoring, and technical guidance to Appointed Persons, Supervisors, Riggers, Testers, and operational teams.
Conduct safety briefings, toolbox talks, operational reviews, and incident investigations where required.
Maintain accurate operational records, certifications, inspection reports, and compliance documentation.
Support continuous improvement initiatives, including software implementation, process development, operational efficiency, and quality standards.
Promote a strong culture of safety, accountability, professionalism, and operational excellence throughout the business.
