100 Essential HSE Environmental and Sustainability Questions and Answers

Having spent over a decade as a career coach being a co-founder of JarusHub, Nigeria’s leading career guidance and interview coaching organization, I have had the privilege of coaching over 1,000 candidates seeking roles ranging from fresh graduate trainees to experienced field engineers and senior managers in International Oil Companies (IOCs) like Shell, Mobil, TotalEnergies, Chevron, Nigeria’s National Oil Company (NOC), NNPC, Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG), as well as leading indigenous companies like Oando, Seplat, Aradel, ND Western amongst other. Throughout these interactions, one glaring and concerning trend consistently emerges: a vast majority of intelligent, technically brilliant candidates struggle significantly when evaluated on Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) rules, regulatory frameworks, environmental compliance and modern sustainability principles. Many applicants treat HSE as a secondary administrative requirement rather than the core operational license upon which the entire global energy industry pivots.

This approach leads to many candidates losing out on positively life-changing opportunities. To address this negative trend, I have compiled this ebook in 100 questions and answers format that is presented in simplified and easy to understand language. Candidates serious about getting into the Oil and Gas and Gas industry should consider this as an essential tool in their quest. In addition, I have taken time to ensure that this book is localized to Nigerian realities.

I also recommend it for professionals who are already in the industry as a much-needed resource that they should add to their collection as the information it contains can help during promotion tests and interviews.

If you are not seeking to work in Nigeria's oil and gas industry, you would still find it useful with global standards, concepts and principles explained it. Indeed, there is something in it for everyone.
