Senior Off Shore Oil and Gas Industry Risk Analyst Fellow
Your research will advance safety in oil and gas industry through review of information about accident precursors and potential hazards associated with offshore operations, including risks related to pipeline safety and transport in offshore.
You will gain technical prowess and knowledge in standards and processes by working hand in hand with subject matter experts in various areas of drilling, production, and decommissioning in oil and gas operations in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). You will report directly to the Close Call Data Program Manager.
You will be compiling and consolidating information about an incident collected from the written incident reports submitted to the Close Call Data Program. Preliminary analytical report for the incident will be produced using analysis and conceptualization to develop a comprehensive description of what happened in the incident. As well as, reviewing and analyzing data to identify reporting trends and produce industry-wide statistics.
As a member of the review team evaluating equipment failure notification and safety analysis reports (required to be submitted by 30 CFR 250.730 and 250.803) you will be providing technical input to assist in identify factors that may contribute to unsafe events and the error recovery mechanisms that prevented an adverse consequence from occurring.
There will be opportunities to engage with industry and participate in a variety of meetings and work groups that support Close Call Data Program activities.
Federal experience will be gained working with regulations and statues primarily contained in 30 CFR Sections 250.730 and 250.803. You will have the opportunity to develop close working relations with other DOT offices, and other Federal agencies collaborating for improvement in offshore safety and protection of the environment. You will participate in interagency efforts related to identifying and addressing needed safety improvement actions which will have impact for years to come.
Who are we? We are the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). The BTS is the Principal Federal Statistical Agency that provides objective, comprehensive, and relevant information on the extent and use of the Nation’s transportation system, how well the system performs, and the effects of the system on society and the environment. Within BTS the Close Call Data program collects and analyzes voluntary and confidential data reported by employees on “close calls”—events or unsafe conditions that could have resulted in an accident but did not—to help the participating industries identify hazards and better manage risk.
