About The Role
As the Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) Assurance Specialist, you will play a key role in supporting the Quality Manager by ensuring regulatory and contractual compliance through the delivery of the Internal Audit Program (IAP).

Ideally, you'll also bring experience in aviation, safety investigations, or fire safety, along with a strong understanding of aviation legislation and regulations. A background in Safety Management Systems (SMS) or operational environments such as flight operations or engineering will be highly regarded.

In this role, success will be measured by your ability to:

• Deliver a high level of satisfaction to internal partners, as reflected in feedback to the Quality Manager.
• Provide timely, comprehensive, and accurate advice on safety and regulatory compliance issues, ensuring nil overdue internal findings.
