What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a key role where I can champion occupational health, safety, and environmental protection, further my safety/health/environment proficiency, and grow within an organization that values reciprocal knowledge and continuous improvement.

I’m a Sr. HSE Advisor with more than 17 years of experience across the Oil & Gas, construction, and steel industries. In my current role with APAVA Gulf LLC (Petroleum Development Oman) in Muscat, I focus on strengthening safety management and delivering measurable risk controls.

I conduct comprehensive site inspections, develop and implement HSE management systems, and lead incident investigations using root cause analysis to prevent recurrence. I also deliver engaging HSE training to staff and management, helping build a collaborative safety environment and supporting a sustained reduction in incident rates.

I provide expert guidance on legal compliance and stay current with HSE legislation and best practices. My work spans emergency response planning, hazard identification and risk assessments, rope access compliance to IRTA I standards, and structured permit-to-work (hot work, confined space, cold work), alongside ISO 14001:2015 and safety documentation/record keeping.

I’m now in search of a key role where I can further champion occupational health, safety, and environmental protection initiatives. Motivated by continuous improvement, I want to join an organization that values reciprocal growth of knowledge and keeps safety management at the center.
