Shell execute operations across the Well lifecycle and utilize various rig and work unit types; offshore wellsite locations are remote, in harsh weather conditions and the activities are technically complex.  The Site Supervisors are managed as a pool and will be exposed across this range of activities.

Site Supervisors visibly champion HSSE improvement programmes and implement the safety management system.  They are involved in Management of Change, Audit, Personal and Process Safety, Incident Management and Emergency Response.

Site Supervisors are responsible for accurate time, cost, and Non-Productive Time reporting during operations.  They represent Shell as front-line leaders to drive safe and efficient performance and lead continuous improvement processes including identifying, owning, and implementing opportunities.  Supervisors provide quality feedback to Operational and Engineering Teams and contribute to Non-Productive Time investigations and After-Action Reviews to incorporate lessons learned into performance, procedural & contractual improvements. 

Site Supervisors integrate with and deliver through multiple internal and external stakeholders.  This includes Well Operations, Engineering, Real Time Operations Centers, other disciplines (e.g. subsurface, production), Contractors and Service Companies.  They supervise across a range of operational activities including drilling, completions, interventions, and abandonment activities.  This includes preparing work instructions, engineering calculations and modelling, coordinating logistical planning, ensuring appropriate QA/QC, leading operational preparations, report writing and communicating to the wider onshore team.  Supervisors prepare risk mitigation and contingency measures including Well Control preparedness, adverse weather strategies and simultaneous activities.

Site Supervisor lead in a diverse, multi-cultural environment and build, develop and inspire a team to deliver at their best; they demonstrate curiosity, enthusiasm and humility and seek out diversity in thought and opinions from others.  Site Supervisors coach others and must role model Shell’s Core Values in respect to General Business Principles, Ethics & Compliance, Code of Conduct and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
