If you are using a formal Competency based interview you will have been trained and have info, like a handbook re competencies...........maybe not.
Suggest you decide which "competencies" you want evidence of eg Analytical thinking, Problem solving, Influencing skills, Decision making, Team working, Safety leadership, Managing change and so on........then ask open questions about them. Not "yes" or "no" questions, and press them about THEIR role, not others role.
eg - Influencing skills (don't tell them the competency you are looking at!) - "give me an example of when you had to get someone to do something they didn't want to, or which was different of dificult for them........outline the steps you took and why"
And so on. Build a matrix of questions (I was taught 2 per competency) then ask each candidate and score their answers. This has the bonus of providing evidence of fairness in the event of a discrimination case etc.
Hope this helps. It worked for me recruiting Safety Officers on 4 occasions.

We have only got one good chance to currently employ the right person as an assistant advisor, so my tactic for extracting as much pertinent information from selected interviewees in the first interview round is to send them all the current job description for the role.
We will then ask them to prepare themselves not just for technical questions, (they've passed exams , I want practical information on handling situations) but for scenarios on actual occurrences that have been dealt with on our site.
Our interview panel know what we actually did in situations, and they can also assess answers in practical terms.
We will score by a graded system on correctness of technical details given in answers, the manner and confidence of replies, and how their answer relates to responsibilities within the job description.
They will hopefully tell us who to contact and why, what their advice and actions would have been, and further recommendations that may be needed in each situation.
Each will then have an equal chance to shine and impress from a level playing field of questioning.
