Position Overview

The Process Safety Management (PSM) Engineer is a high-impact, strategic role reporting directly to the Corporate PSM Director. The primary mission is to support the design, deployment, and long-term sustainability of the Corporate PSM Framework across seven diverse mine sites. We are seeking a top-tier learner, a resilient, flexible professional capable of navigating complex change management environments. The successful candidate will act as a bridge between Corporate standards and Site operations, enthusiastically engaging local leaders and multidisciplinary teams to transform "Risk on Paper" into "Risk in the Field". This role requires a unique "Soft-Technical" blend. During the first two years, the PSM Engineer will be the "Face of Change". Must be technically competent enough to earn the respect of Site Engineers, yet empathetic enough to manage the friction that naturally occurs during a multi site system rollout. Look for candidates who demonstrate "Disciplined Execution" in their previous roles.

Key Responsibilities

• Maturity Assessment & Baseline: Support Corporate teams in auditing the current maturity level of all sites, identifying gaps against RAGAGEP (Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices).
• Standardization & Design: Assist in drafting the "North Star" corporate standards for HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment), Management of Change (MOC), and Engineering Controls.
• Training & Capability Building: Develop and deliver high-energy training modules to Site Champions and Custodians to ensure the mechanical "Rules of the System" are understood and respected.
• Field Deployment & Coaching: Lead the on-site "Mechanical Expansion" (Year 2), coaching site teams through the first wave of Baseline PHAs, P&ID updates, and the population of the Critical Spares and MOC registries.
• Analytics & Performance Monitoring: Conduct data analytics on site-level performance, monitoring leading and lagging indicators via Corporate Dashboards to ensure consistency across the company.
• Change Management: Actively listen to site-specific challenges to adapt Corporate guidelines into practical, field-executable procedures without compromising safety integrity.
• Recommendation Stewardship: Oversee the Centralized Action Tracking system, ensuring that high-risk recommendations from HIRA and Incident Investigations are funded, tracked, and closed on time.

Qualifications

• Industrial Background: 5–8 years of experience in high-hazard environments, specifically processing plants, chemical facilities, or heavy industrial operations. Direct experience in the Mining Sector is highly valued.
• Lifecycle Awareness: Proven exposure to the engineering lifecycle, including the design, construction, and commissioning (PSSR) of capital projects and "Operational Readiness" phases.
• Technical Literacy: Broad understanding of industrial equipment (Mechanical, E&I, and Structural) and the ability to interpret Process Safety Information (PSI), such as P&IDs and PFDs.
• Risk Leadership: Demonstrated experience facilitating risk assessment workshops (HAZOP, What-If, FMEA) involving cross-functional teams and frontline workers.
• Analytical Rigor: Experience in incident investigation and Root Cause Analysis (RCA), with the ability to categorize severity and translate findings into actionable system improvements.
• Language & Mobility: Full professional proficiency in English; Spanish proficiency is a significant advantage. Ability to travel to mine sites 50%–60% of the time.
