About The Position

The Health, Safety, Environment & Operations Integrity (HSE & OI) Communications Senior Specialist plays a key role within the Performance unit, working as part of a small high-impact team responsible for shaping how SLB communicates one of its most critical priorities: protecting people, strengthening operational performance and driving a culture of continuous improvement. This role supports the development and execution of modern communication strategies that clearly articulate the HSE & OI narratives, drive engagement, and showcase SLB’s performance, innovation and leadership across the energy industry. You’ll partner closely with HSE & OI leadership and global communications teams to translate complex technical topics — safety, risk, performance, compliance — into clear, compelling and human-centered content that resonates with employees and external stakeholders.
