Are you an experienced offshore verification or asset integrity professional looking for an opportunity that combines technical expertise, commercial growth and strategic leadership?

At Bureau Veritas, we’re looking for an IVB Growth & Capability Lead to play a key role in the continued growth and development of our Offshore Verification services across Europe.

This is a highly collaborative and influential position where you’ll help identify new market opportunities, develop our technical capability, improve the way we deliver our services and turn commercial opportunities into sustainable growth.

If you have a strong background in IVB, offshore verification, inspection or asset integrity, alongside an understanding of the UK offshore regulatory environment, this could be an excellent opportunity to take your experience in a more strategic direction.

What will you be doing?

As our IVB Growth & Capability Lead, you’ll act as a focal point for growth, capability development, resource planning, process improvement and service development across our Offshore Verification business.

Working closely with our sales, technical, quality and operational teams, you’ll help ensure we have the right services, people and technical capability in place to meet the needs of both existing and future clients.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop and coordinate the regional growth plan for Offshore Verification services.
• Identify priority markets, clients and new service opportunities.
• Use market insight, client feedback and operational knowledge to identify opportunities for growth.
• Work with sales, technical and operational colleagues to convert qualified opportunities into deliverable and commercially sustainable propositions.
• Support and coordinate technical and commercial input into bids, tenders, proposals and contract reviews.
• Monitor growth initiatives, identifying risks, dependencies and actions required.
• Represent OGP Verification within relevant regional commercial and growth forums.
• Assess current and future technical and resource requirements against our growth plans.
• Develop capability plans covering recruitment, training, cross-skilling, succession planning and specialist expertise.
• Identify skills and capability gaps that could impact growth, quality, utilisation or successful delivery.
• Promote the effective sharing and deployment of technical expertise across locations and teams.
• Support the development of both specialist technical and leadership capability within Offshore Verification.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who can combine credible offshore technical knowledge with strong commercial awareness and the ability to influence across a complex business.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Experience working within accredited ISO/IEC 17020 inspection body services.
• A strong technical background within offshore IVB, verification, inspection, asset integrity or a comparable regulated engineering environment.
• A demonstrable understanding of UK offshore safety-case legislation and associated verification requirements.
• Experience developing clients and commercial opportunities within the oil & gas or wider energy sector.
• Experience coordinating technical and commercial input into bids, tenders, proposals and contract reviews.
• The ability to assess scope, resource requirements, competence and technical risk before committing to work.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work across technical, operational and commercial teams.
• A strategic mindset combined with the ability to turn plans and opportunities into practical actions.

Qualifications:

You’ll need:

• A degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or formally assessed and documented equivalent competence in accordance with the approved competence process.
• Formal training and demonstrable working knowledge of ISO/IEC 17020 requirements applicable to a Type A inspection body.
• The ability to hold the offshore qualifications required for relevant activities, including offshore medical and BOSIET where applicable.

It would also be advantageous if you have:

• Chartered Engineer status, or are actively working towards chartership.
• Membership of an appropriate professional engineering institution.

Why Bureau Veritas?

At Bureau Veritas, you’ll be part of a global organisation with a strong reputation for technical expertise, quality and integrity.

This role provides the opportunity to move beyond purely technical delivery and make a broader impact on the future of our Offshore Verification business, influencing where we grow, how we develop our people and capability, and how our services evolve to meet changing client needs.

If you’re looking for a role where you can combine your offshore engineering expertise with commercial thinking, innovation and leadership, we’d love to hear from you.
