Michael R. Bromwich. “We are looking for leaders who are technically
skilled and experienced, and who have a strong commitment to public
service, who can lead our ongoing efforts to enhance the safety of
offshore exploration and production.”
The Director for the National Offshore Training
Center will be responsible for developing the bureau’s training
policy and training programs to maintain and improve the technical
and professional capabilities of offshore inspections and compliance
personnel. Duties of the position include establishing national
training strategies and formulating training policy related to
inspections and compliance functions and programs.
The Division Chief for the Oil Spill Response
Division will be responsible for the review and creation of policy,
guidance, direction and oversight of activities related to the
