We're seeking a Health & Safety Advisor for an exciting UK-based project. The role will be primarily based in London at our Clients offices or, alternatively, from Aberdeen with regular visits to London. This is a contract position.
The UK Hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage projects delivery unit (UK H2 & CCS) will undertake the blue hydrogen and carbon capture and storage projects in the North East of the UK. The projects include building the carbon transport and storage business of the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), building the power generating station and carbon capture plant for Net Zero Teesside (NZT) power, building the blue hydrogen project, H2Teesside, and the onshore Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline Project, a 130 kilometre high‑pressure, dense phase carbon transportation pipeline and associated above‑ground infrastructure, designed to support decarbonization of the Humber Industrial Cluster.
The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects aim to develop a network to enable the decarbonization of a cluster of carbon‑intensive businesses on Humber by 2032 and to deliver the UK’s first zero‑carbon industrial cluster. NEP will be the UK’s first commercial‑scale, full‑chain CCS project and has the potential to capture up to 10 Mt of CO₂ emissions per annum—contributing significantly toward the UK reaching its net‑zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050.
