Procurement and HSE-focused professional sourcing PPE while supporting climate-resilience research.
Trinidad and TobagoWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Procurement Officer with a strong HSE lens, focused on building a reliable supply chain for specialized PPE and safety services. In my current role at Advanced EHS Concepts Limited, I identify and vet both local and international suppliers to keep industrial clients’ needs covered with the right fall protection, respiratory gear, and related equipment.
I manage inventory for high-demand safety items to reduce lead times, and I keep documentation current by drafting and updating Risk Assessments, Safe Systems of Work (SSOW), and Emergency Response Plans. I also monitor changes in local legislation and industry best practices so the PPE I support and the services delivered meet legal and competency requirements.
Alongside procurement and safety documentation, I help deliver training that matters in the field—facilitating and co-instructing First Aid, CPR, and AED certification classes, then managing certificate generation, verification, and record-keeping for HSE training programs. Previously, as a ResearchOfficer for the Sustainable Climate Resilience Initiative, I supported flood-management efforts by helping secure funding, contributing to basin action planning, and analyzing data to produce reports.
I’ve also worked in laboratory settings where accuracy, compliance, and quality control were non-negotiable—maintaining experiment records, troubleshooting instruments, and preparing statistical administrative reports after data analysis. I’m motivated by work that combines careful sourcing, evidence-based reporting, and practical risk reduction for real people and real environments.
