  • Design and facilitate technical workshops such as HAZOP and Bowtie, ensuring robust outputs and high stakeholder engagement.
  • Manage client portfolios, offering strategic advice, feasibility assessments, and detailed reporting to senior stakeholders.
  • Oversee full project life cycles, ensuring outcomes are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to budget targets.

  • A degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering (or a related field).
  • Extensive experience in process safety, risk assessment, or technical safety consultancy.
  • Strong leadership in facilitating HAZID/HAZOP and executing QRAs and SIL assessments.
  • High proficiency with risk modelling tools and techniques.
  • In-depth understanding of industry standards, safety regulations, and legislative frameworks.
  • Technical knowledge of refining, separation, or energy transformation processes.
  • Demonstrated experience in managing client relationships and leading multi-stakeholder projects.
  • Exceptional communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • A natural ability to lead, coach, and influence across teams.
Benefits
  • Highly competitive salary, reflective of senior-level experience.
