Registered as an OSH Advisor/Practitioner with DOSHS, with a NEBOSH and/or professional HSE qualification (IOSH, ISO 45001/14001 lead auditor an advantage).
Deep working knowledge of Kenyan HSE law (OSHA 2007, WIBA, EMCA) and NEMA/DOSHS processes.

Water/marine or cold-chain safety experience

Independent and courageous – able to hold the line on safety with senior operators and stop unsafe work
Data-led and uncompromising on integrity; a natural coach who builds safety culture rather than merely policing it
