realisation through the company’s sub-contracted fabricators.
“In order to meet these responsibilities, my role entails
regular reviews of project and engineering performance in line
with customer and regulatory requirements. I actively encourage
close participation of my QA/QC engineers in both the design and
development work undertaken with the offices as well as subcontracted fabrication activities.”
From an HSE perspective, FOS operate an inclusive safe
working group within the business, encouraging all personnel to
participate in the safe operation of the business. This includes
regular office management and risk assessment, to cover
engineers working both in an office based environment as well as
offshore.
“To this end, the business closely monitors both internal
performance and that of our supply chain with the intention of
ensuring a continuous improvement process that is maintained
with respect to product delivery.
“My personal development into Quality Management has been
built from a manufacturing perspective prior to progressing into
an HSEQ role. Having worked in a fabrication environment during
my early career, prior to moving to a design business, I have
manufactured equipment for both nuclear and oil & gas industries
so have always regarded HSEQ as a key area of importance. This
has been driven through client and industry best practice and to
this end, auditing, risk management and continuous improvement
have been key learning points that I have undertaken and I am
now teaching to the engineers who work within FOS.
“Within the oil & gas industry every operation is driven by
health & safety. Client requirements to monitor, report and
improve performance have become a pre-cursor to tendering
for work and as such, the understanding of health & safety
requirements is ingrained in all employees from the point they
start within the business.
