Environmental Officer (M/F) — Cabo Delgado (Oil & Gas)

In a nutshell

Heading is hiring an Environmental Officer (M/F) to serve a client working in oil and gas, with operations in Cabo Delgado. It is a field role: site inspections, environmental audits of companies and contractors,

and monitoring data that must be collected, compiled, and submitted within the agreed frequency. The job advert refers to the environmental targets of TEPMA1 by its acronym — it is a project with multiple work fronts, and environmental compliance matches that scale.

The list of qualifications requested in the job advert is in the requirements section, in order and without additions — the job advert itself combines everything into a single list, without separating mandatory from desirable. Requisition 5812 remains active on Heading’s official portal, which receives the CV.

Who is hiring

The selection process is led by Heading, a recruitment firm serving clients across several industries; the client this equipa works in the oil and gas industry. The final employer's name is kept confidential in the advert — so we state only what the source declares: sector, province, and role.

The outline of the role is clear from the list of official duties: a project with its own and contractor environmental management systems, a daily environmental verification and assurance system, inspections and audits across multiple work fronts,

and an observation log where every unsafe act or condition is recorded on the same day. There are also incident investigations — which the officer ensures are thorough and transparent and, when necessary, leads on behalf of the company.

Your daily routine in the field

The official job advert lists sixteen responsibilities. Translated into the daily working rhythm of those who perform this role:

• Implement and monitor company and contractor environmental management systems — processes and procedures — to ensure company and TEPMA1 environmental targets are met;
• Execute daily tasks within the project environmental verification and assurance programme;
• Carry out broader environmental monitoring in the field, day after day;
• Collect and consolidate company and contractor environmental data at the required frequency;
• Regularly inspect company and contractor work fronts and project components;
• Conduct environmental audits at company and contractor facilities;
• Engage directly with contractors regarding their environmental performance, verification and assurance, reporting, and outstanding environmental actions;
• Ensure all unsafe acts and conditions are logged in the TEPMA1 observation system on the same day — including immediate actions taken and follow-up measures to prevent recurrence;
• Ensure incident investigations on work fronts are conducted thoroughly, openly, and transparently — and lead company investigations when required;
• Manage logistics for environmental monitoring and specialist field visits, whenever necessary;
• Support routine project management tasks, whenever necessary;
• Assist in preparing the required monitoring reports;
• Support HSE applications for lessons learned, management of change, and continuous improvement;
• Promote environmental culture and awareness aligned with the company environmental framework — inductions, site toolbox talks, meetings;
• Support the development of environmental reporting tools, as required;
• Provide clear, concise written handover notes for shift handovers.

Note the structure of the role: half the work is on site, observing, asking, and recording; the other half involves the paperwork supporting decisions — consolidated data, reports, shift handovers. Anyone who enjoys balancing field work with computer tasks will fit well here. And logging everything on the day it happens saves both yourself and the project from later misunderstandings.

Who fits this role

A meticulous person who approaches compliance with daily discipline — in the office and in the field. Comfortable communicating directly with contractors and operational teams, capable of demanding compliance without arrogance. They do not delay end-of-day reporting over an extra log entry: here, same-day written observation is the standard.

In Cabo Delgado, on company and project contractor work fronts — inspections, audits, and specialist visits are part of the routine, making this a physically present field role. The job advert does not detail working hours,

contract type, or benefits — and Inademy does not invent what the source does not state. What is concrete: formal environmental management systems, data delivered at mandatory intervals, scheduled audits, and an observation system with clear rules.
