Role overview

TotalEnergies EP Uganda is moving beyond the exploration stage and preparing for first oil, ramp-up activities, and wider field operations.

  • Advise the CMO, HSE, and HR Director on international and medical health legislation.
  • Coordinate fitness certificates for expatriates with HR and the TotalEnergies HQ medical team, and help translate clinical or medical information for patients when needed.
  • Provide timely medical intelligence and health updates to the CMO using sources such as WHO, CDC, and other international references.
  • Help organize health-awareness sessions aimed at reducing disease and accident risks.
  • Maintain and support the medical dashboard in line with objectives set by HSE and HR managers when required.
  • Be on call 24/7 for urgent medical situations.
  • Procure medical supplies and medicines in coordination with C&P, track inventory, and ensure delivery timelines are met.
  • Build and maintain a medical network across the affiliate and headquarters.
  • Assess and recommend health facilities in Kampala and upcountry, including registered providers for TEPU and other needs, and keep the CMO and HR Director informed.
  • Oversee hygiene and health inspections at TEPU operating sites.
  • Help review, update, and improve existing medical procedures and recommend new ones where needed.
  • Support departmental medical budgeting.
  • Represent the CMO in administrative matters during absence or whenever delegated.
  • Remain available for additional assignments and training activities.

Requirements

  • MBBS or a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine and Surgery.
  • Certification in Emergency Medicine and Disaster Medicine.
  • Certification in Traumatology.
  • At least 10 years of experience leading an emergency medical department or a similar emergency-focused setup.
  • Between 5 and 8 years of experience in clinical medicine and remote-site care.
  • Prior experience in the oil and gas sector at an active remote onshore field site is mandatory.
  • Experience in occupational health is an advantage.
  • Strong understanding of medical hazards and risk management.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation abilities.
  • Cross-cultural leadership and managerial skills.
