Purpose
As a Senior Process Safety Engineer, you will lead and facilitate risk reviews such as HAZOP/LOPA studies and perform a broad range of activities to support process safety in engineering design and mitigation of operational risk.Â
Requirements
• Facilitate Safety/Risk studies using an appropriate selection of methodologies and collate reports
and findings – strong writing and oral skills are a MUST.
• Access quality cost-effective solutions during risk assessments to ensure optimum risk design
within acceptable risk parameters.
• Analyse Major Hazard Installation (MHI) and/or COMAH as per regulations and advise on
compliance.
• Provide guidance and assurance on PSM aspects as well as Recognised and Generally
Accepted Good Engineering Practices (ISA, NFPA; ISO; BS etc.)
• Provide input into the design, development, and maintenance of process safety management
systems.
• Facilitate incident investigations and assist in the compilation of incident reports.
• Deliver quality engineering deliverables to clients and other disciplines.
• Ensure project schedules and work plans are adhered to.
• Work closely with other disciplines and aspire to support and achieve the goals of the Client.
• Ensure engineering innovation, optimisation and strategies are implemented and enforced to the
advantage of our partners.
• Support Business Development activities – proposals development.
• Manage direct reports - junior to mid-level engineers (technical execution).Â
Qualifications/Experience
• BSC Chemical Engineering degree or similar engineering degree with a STRONG Process
Safety background will be an advantage.
• ECSA registration will be an added advantage.
• 10 to 15 years of Industry experience – at least 2 to 5 years in a senior position in process safety
engineering.
• Strong background in Process Safety Management and the wider Health Safety and
Environment (HSE) management – postgraduate qualification or proven experience will be an
advantage.
• Formal HAZOP facilitation training through a reputable institution (eg. CAIA Risk Based Process
Safety Management I and II OR IChemE HAZOP Leadership and Management) or sufficient
experience to obtain certification if successful.
• Experience in various process safety tools/methodologies including but not limited to: Layer of
Protection Analysis (LOPA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
(FMEA), Bowties etc.
• Consequence modelling experience – PHAST/In:Flux or similar.
• Likelihood assessment experience – Familiar with failure data, and event trees.
• Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) experience.
• HAC experience, including the classification of dust atmospheres, will be an advantage.
