HSEQ Superintendent

Join to apply for the HSEQ Superintendent role at EQ8 Recruit.

EQ8 Recruit is partnering with a global LNG vessel owner to appoint an experienced HSEQ Superintendent in London, United Kingdom. This is a pivotal shore-based role focused on advancing health, safety, environmental, and quality performance across the fleet. You’ll lead the planning and execution of vessel and office audits, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and play a key role in driving a culture of safety and continuous improvement.

This is not an HSEQ support position — we're looking for someone with demonstrable decision-making authority and leadership in the field. LNG or tanker vessel experience is advantageous, but candidates with strong HSEQ expertise from other vessel types will also be considered.

ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is a globally respected owner and operator of LNG vessels, setting the benchmark in safe operations, technical excellence, and environmental responsibility. Headquartered in London, they are committed to delivering sustainable energy and maintaining a strong safety-first culture across their operations.

THE SUCCESSFUL APPLICANT

To be considered, you’ll need the following qualifications and experience:

• Background as a Senior Deck or Engineering Officer, or equivalent higher-level education (e.g., BSc/BA degree)
• Certified ISM/ISO auditor with relevant accreditation
• 1–3 years of shore-based HSEQ experience, ideally in a ship management environment
• Demonstrated experience planning and conducting vessel audits
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments and fleets
• Preferred: Right to live and work in the UK, although visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate

JOB DESCRIPTION

Planning responsibilities:

• Develop and implement safety awareness programmes
• Oversee processes for reviewing near misses, accidents, and incidents
• Engage with Class and Flag State Authorities to maintain compliance
• Plan and execute audits in line with ISM and ISO standards

Operational responsibilities:

• Champion health, safety, environmental, and quality values across the organisation
• Collaborate with managers, superintendents, and ship staff to elevate HSEQ performance
• Support the effective delivery of the Management of Change (MOC) process

Only candidates with relevant HSEQ and marine operations experience will be contacted for an initial telephone interview with one of our consultants. A full job description will be shared prior to CV submission.

REMUNERATION PACKAGE

A market-related salary and relocation assistance are on offer for the successful candidate. Join a global LNG leader where your impact matters.
