About the role

The successful applicant will provide regional leadership and governance for Occupational Health (OH), Industrial Hygiene (IH), Public Health, and wellbeing, acting as the single point of accountability for bp businesses within the role remit. The position involves promotion of uniform processes, strategic input on health service contracts, supporting a strong health and safety culture, and monitoring performance through KPIs, actions which will grow the long-term value of bp and drive performance and continuous improvement.

Who you will work with

The successful applicant will join an experienced, dedicated team of occupational health professionals and industrial hygienists to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of services. As not all businesses within the Americas region have existing OH/IH services, the successful applicant will work closely with embedded health teams and business leadership to drive operational efficiencies which, in turn, have the potential to increase health capacity and resource sharing with other businesses within the region.

• Upholding medical confidentiality and data protection standards, through ethical management of all health and medical records, and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality at all times.
• Enhancing health capability by providing strategic input into contracts and performance management.
• Leadership on occupational health and industrial hygiene for emergency response, incident management, and business continuity management.
