Manager - Safety & Operations - 12 month fixed term contract

About dss+

At dss+, you don’t just deliver projects — you help save lives, improve performance, and build a more sustainable future.

We are a purpose-led global consultancy partnering with organisations in high-risk and asset-intensive industries to solve complex operational challenges across safety, operational excellence, and sustainability.

With a heritage rooted in DuPont’s industrial operations, we combine deep expertise, practical problem-solving, and digital innovation to deliver measurable and lasting impact for our clients.

Why This Role

Why Operational Risk Management

At dss+, we help clients embed risk-based decision making across their operations — integrating processes, technology, and culture to improve resilience.

This enables safer, more productive operations while unlocking greater value.
