Why work for us?
CHIRP provides a vital, independent, and impartial, confidential reporting service for anyone concerned with safety in the aviation and maritime sectors. We do this by building a Just Culture which encourages learning from safety incidents and promotes culture change so that we can improve human related safety issues for everyone in the air and at sea.

You care about results and are capable of prioritising competing demands for maximum impact. Most importantly, you align with CHIRP’s values and share our vision, of a world in which aviation and maritime safety is continuously improved by tackling human factors issues, strengthened by a strong safety culture.
