Job Description & How to Apply Below
We’re supporting a well-established chemical manufacturing site with the appointment of a Process Safety Engineer to join their QEHS function. This role sits within a collaborative, supportive team and offers strong scope for skills development and structured training.
It’s an excellent opportunity for a process safety professional who wants to deepen their technical capability, gain broader COMAH exposure, and be supported in developing new competencies rather than being left to operate in isolation.
The Role
You’ll support site leadership in maintaining and improving process safety performance, working closely with operations, engineering and projects teams.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting and leading process safety risk assessments (HAZOP, LOPA, SIL, DSEAR, HF)
* Maintaining and improving the site Process Safety Management system
* Supporting incident and near-miss investigations and sharing learning
* Providing process safety input to capital projects and site modifications
* Supporting COMAH activities, inspections and regulatory interactions
* Monitoring and reporting process safety KPIs
Development & Support
The business actively invests in people and offers:
* Training and mentoring from experienced process safety professionals
* Support with process safety qualifications and certifications
* Opportunities to build experience across COMAH, functional safety and PSM systems
* A team-based environment with flexible working arrangements
About You
You’ll have experience in a process safety or high-hazard engineering environment, a good understanding of UK process safety standards, and a desire to continue learning and developing. A chemical engineering or similar technical background is preferred
