The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) Project involves building and operating a buried, cross-border pipeline that carries crude oil produced from Uganda’s Lake Albert oilfields to the port of Tanga in Tanzania, where the oil is then sold on to world markets. Once topsoil and vegetation are reinstated, people and animals can cross freely anywhere along its length.

EACOP Ltd’s shareholders are TotalEnergies, the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC), the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) and CNOOC. EACOP recruits directly through its official Workday careers portal, and its adverts stress exemplary behaviour on H3SE (health, safety, security, social and environment) rules, ethics and the project code of conduct.

The Health and Safety Supervisor supports the health and safety side of works carried out by EACOP’s contractors. The supervisor implements local and other H&S regulatory requirements, reports contractor HSE performance, and manages incidents from reporting and notification through investigation and analysis.

Contractor HSE management is a big part of the job, including analysis of prequalification and tenders, evaluations and audits. The supervisor runs HSE inductions and keeps the induction database current, promotes a positive safety culture through programmes such as Zero Harm, prepares and leads toolbox meetings with EACOP workers and contractors, and coordinates EACOP HSE training. On road safety, the supervisor conducts vehicle inspections and driver toolbox talks. The post is field-based with regular travel between project worksites.
