This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on global sustainability, combining your expertise in emerging technologies, digital road mapping, and business development.

Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana is rebuilding abundant and biodiverse oceans by winning science-based policies in countries that control one-quarter of the world’s wild fish catch.

• Engage with Oceana’s Board of Directors and high-net-worth individuals.

Oceana considers all qualified candidates and seeks to recruit from a diverse candidate pool.

 

 

What does Oceana do?

The sea provides food for nearly half the world's population, creates jobs for hundreds of millions of people, and plays a fundamental role in regulating climate. But our oceans are in trouble. Scientists agree that the greatest threats are overfishing, excessive bycatch, destruction of marine habitat, and pollution. The good news is that ocean abundance can be restored. Fish stocks and ocean ecosystems can recover, and critical marine habitats can be protected with science-based policies and responsible, sustainable management of fisheries.

 

Founded in 2001, Oceana leads campaigns in the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Belize, and the Philippines to revitalize and restore ocean abundance. Just 29 countries and the European Union control 90 percent of the world's wild seafood catch. Our campaigns are addressing more than 25% of this catch, by advocating for sustainable management of fisheries, efficient fishing gear that does not harm non-targeted species, and transparent data regarding fishing vessels and catches. Oceana's campaigns also focus on preventing ocean pollution from offshore oil drilling and discarded plastic. And we support policies that protect endangered marine animals, including sharks, whales, and sea turtles.

 

A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can help fight climate change, sustain livelihoods, and feed more than 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world.

This is only awarded to homebuilders who receive a rating of at least 90% in the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey- demonstrating the commitment to a high quality service.

 

 

In terms of experience:

 

• It's important that you have experience working in a HSE function and ideally understanding of the construction sector.

• If you can demonstrate that you'll able to build relationships at every level, that will go a long way.

• Some creativity and evidence of collaboratively solving problems in your current health & safety role is welcome.

 

 

You will be based in the North East of England, ideally within Newcastle, Sunderland, Hartlepool, Durham, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Hebburn, or surrounding areas, and there will be 10 developments in your region. That will mean some driving, so a license is essential!
