Performance Coach - Fluent Spanish Speaker - International Role in Aberdeen

Location: international / flexible

Language requirement: Fluent Spanish speaker with English language capability

At FidesOak®, we believe that High Performing Cultures start with High Performing Teams and that people are at the heart of the solution.

We are looking for experienced Performance Coaches who are fluent Spanish speakers to join us in supporting an international client programme focused on strengthening safety, leadership, teamwork, psychological safety, operational learning and consistent behaviours in the High Hazard sectors.

This is an opportunity to work closely with site leaders, supervisors and operational teams, helping people reflect, learn and translate good intent into sustainable everyday behaviours that produce safe outcomes.

Applicants can be based internationally. Location is not restricted to the UK, although the role will involve travel and site-based work depending on client and project requirements.

The role

As a Performance Coach, you will work alongside site leaders, supervisors and teams within operational environments to support the development of a consistent high performing culture.

This is a practical, people-focused coaching role. You will observe work as it is actually done, coach in the moment, ask powerful questions, provide appropriate challenge and feedback, and help individuals and teams turn learning into everyday practice.

Importantly, the role is not simply about identifying what is not working. We want our coaches to recognise and learn from the positive pockets of culture that already exist, understand what enables them and help strengthen and share good practice across the organisation.

Depending on project requirements, assignments may be site-based and could involve rotational or fixed-day working.

FidesOak® will provide training in our tools, methodologies and approach to support delivery of the programme.

Full professional fluency in Spanish is essential. Candidates must have an exceptional command of spoken Spanish and be able to confidently understand, discuss and communicate complex technical descriptions and terminology within high-hazard industries. Technical accuracy, safety-critical terminology, and communicating with site personnel.

What you will be doing

• Providing high-quality professional coaching to site leaders, supervisors and individuals
• Working with teams on defined areas linked to high performing culture
• Observing and understanding work as done within the operational environment
• Coaching and providing appropriate feedback and challenge in the moment
• Helping individuals reflect on their behaviours, decisions and impact
• Supporting stronger communication, psychological safety, leadership consistency, teamwork and employee engagement
• Identifying capability and development opportunities
• Recognising positive practice and understanding what enables it
• Helping individuals and teams translate learning into sustainable behavioural change
• Sharing relevant insights from the field while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional boundaries
• Monitoring progress and identifying evidence of behavioural and cultural change
• Working collaboratively with other FidesOak® coaches and colleagues

What we are looking for

You will be a fluent Spanish speaker with sufficient English language capability to work effectively within an international programme.

You will also have :

• Significant proven experience of coaching and developing people within a professional or operational environment
• You should also be able to demonstrate:
• Experience working with site leaders, supervisors and/or operational teams
• The ability to build trust and credibility quickly with people at different levels
• Confidence working within field-based, operational or high-risk environments
• Strong listening, observation and questioning skills
• The ability to provide constructive challenge and feedback
• Strong self-awareness and a reflective approach to your own coaching practice
• An understanding of psychological safety, leadership behaviours and team dynamics
• The ability to adapt your approach across different individuals, cultures and levels of seniority
• Curiosity and a willingness to understand what sits behind behaviours rather than making assumptions
• Strong professional boundaries and an understanding of coaching confidentiality

Sector experience

Experience within one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:

• Mining
• Heavy Manufacturing
• Construction
• Other high-risk or complex operational environments

Experience working within remote, rotational or shift-based environments would also be advantageous.

Where can you be based?

International applications are welcome.

You do not need to be based in the UK. We are interested in finding the right people internationally, although candidates must be willing and able to travel to client locations and work on site when required.

Working with FidesOak®

Our values of Trust, Honesty and Sincerity of Intent underpin how we work with one another and with our clients.

We are looking for coaches who share those values and who believe, as we do, that sustainable organisational change happens through people.

If that sounds like you, we would be pleased to hear from you.
