Job summary:

The Defence Safety Authority (DSA) is responsible for the regulation of Defence Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HS&EP), operating under a Charter from the Secretary of State for Defence (SofS).

The DSA provides independent assurance to the SofS that the law is followed and the policy on HS&EP in Defence is being promoted and implemented.

This is achieved through proportional and appropriate evidence-based assurance of the defence activity.

The Defence Maritime Regulator (DMR) vision is to provide high-quality safety and environmental protection across the Defence Maritime Domain through assurance, regulation, and enforcement to support the generation of operational capability.

The DMR Mission is to protect people and the environment from harm arising from Defence Maritime Activity.

This allows DMR to provide the SofS for Defence the required assurance that appropriate standards of maritime HS&EP are maintained and delivered across Defence Maritime Activities.

DMR consists of four teams:

Regulation and Compliance (R&C) - responsible for developing and maintaining the HS&EP regulations and associated documents, monitoring compliance across the Maritime Domain, managing the Defence Legislation Support Tool, the Defence Shipping Register and the Maritime Activities Register.

Executive and Enabling (E&E) - responsible for management and analysis of regulatory information, tools and business services and planning.

Shipping Inspectorate - provides third party assurance of ships, submarines, and diving within Defence through regular engagement and programmed audits.

Maritime Services Inspectorate - responsible for the third-party assurance of MOD Accountable Persons and organisations that deliver and/or support wider maritime activity other than the operation of surface ships, submarines, and diving.

The team also provides third party assurance, advice, and stakeholder interaction in areas deemed cross boundary or experimental, including small craft, Army Maritime, UK StratCom, autonomy, and ports, harbours, and marine facilities.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

This is a Marine Services Officer Grade 2 (MSO2) retained grade post based in Bristol or Portsmouth within the Maritime Services Inspectorate of DMR within the DSA.

Job description:

You will work in the Defence Maritime Regulator (DMR) Maritime Services Inspectorate team as an Inspector, primarily focussed on MOD small craft but also assisting colleagues in other areas as required.

You will be a self-starter capable of acting independently and able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing. You must be able to interact and develop relationships with stakeholders at all levels, both commercial and military.

You will need to work effectively in a team and take ownership of your own tasks, driving them to completion, whilst maintaining relationships across the DMR, DSA and the regulated community.

There will be considerable opportunities for you to grow your experience in safety and environmental management and/or assurance within the Defence maritime domain.

Occasional travel, including overnight stays, in the UK and abroad will be required.

This post does not involve the line management of other members of staff.

This post requires issued uniform to be worn.
