Job Description

Oilserv Limited is seeking a distinguished Chief Internal Auditor to lead and enhance its internal audit function. This executive role is crucial for providing independent assurance on the company's governance, risk management, and internal control systems. You will be instrumental in safeguarding assets, ensuring compliance, and driving operational excellence across all business units and projects within the demanding Oil & Gas EPCIC landscape.

Your responsibilities will include developing and executing a comprehensive, risk-based audit plan, presenting findings to the Audit Committee and Executive Management, and advising on emerging risks.
