What is a hazop?

A Hazop (Hazard and Operability) job involves identifying potential hazards and operability issues in industrial processes through a systematic review. Professionals in Hazop roles analyze engineering designs, process diagrams, and operations to assess risks and propose safety improvements. They typically work in industries like oil and gas, chemicals, and manufacturing to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Hazop specialists collaborate with engineers, safety officers, and management to enhance process safety and minimize risks.

What are some typical daily duties for a hazop facilitator or engineer?

A HAZOP facilitator or engineer typically spends their day preparing and conducting HAZOP study sessions, reviewing process documentation, and collaborating with cross-functional teams including operations, engineering, and safety specialists. They document potential hazards, operability issues, and recommend risk mitigation actions, ensuring all findings are clearly communicated to stakeholders. Depending on the project phase, they may also follow up on action items, support process modifications, and provide guidance on regulatory compliance. This dynamic role requires adaptability and effective teamwork to maintain high safety and operational standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the hazop position, and why are they important?

To excel as a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) facilitator or engineer, you need a strong background in process engineering or safety engineering, along with experience in risk assessment and hazard analysis. Familiarity with P&IDs, process simulation software, and formal HAZOP methodologies or relevant certifications (such as TUV or IChemE HAZOP Leader) is typically required. Excellent communication, attention to detail, and collaborative problem-solving skills are vital for leading multidisciplinary teams and ensuring thorough analyses. These skills are essential for identifying potential operational risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting a culture of safety in complex industrial environments.

Process Safety, HAZOP and Hazardous-Materials Specialists - Remote

Axyde Analytics

Golden, CO • On-site, Remote

$150 - $300/hr

Part-time

Posted 9 days ago

Job description

Work arrangement: Remote within the United States, with potential international travel
Engagement: Contingent, part-time/on-call specialist
Anticipated compensation: $150-$300 per hour, depending on qualifications and assignment, or a negotiated fixed price by work package. $300 per hour is the maximum anticipated rate.
Opportunity
Axyde Analytics is assembling a multidisciplinary expert team for anticipated U.S. government-funded project-scoping assignments involving critical minerals and international infrastructure.
We seek process-safety, HAZOP and hazardous-materials specialists capable of evaluating the safety, containment and operational risks associated with mining, mineral processing, refining, recycling, pilot plants and advanced-material production.
Potential assignments may involve high-pressure leaching, toxic or reactive chemicals, strong acids and bases, halogens, combustible dust, molten materials, reactive metals, radioactive constituents or other high-consequence process hazards.
Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover every hazard or process system. Applicants should identify the process-safety disciplines, materials and facility types in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise.
Specialist Tracks
We are recruiting experts in one or more of the following tracks:
  • Process-hazard analysis and HAZOP facilitation
  • What-if, checklist, FMEA, LOPA and bow-tie analysis
  • Pressure systems and high-pressure acid leaching
  • Reactive, toxic, corrosive and flammable chemicals
  • Fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen fluoride and hydrochloric-acid systems
  • Sulfuric, nitric and other strong-acid systems
  • Hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia and industrial-gas systems
  • Combustible dust and fine-powder hazards
  • Graphite, silicon, magnesium, aluminum and reactive-metal powders
  • Smelting, molten-metal and furnace safety
  • Thermal runaway and battery-material hazards
  • Corrosion, materials compatibility and containment
  • Ventilation, gas detection, scrubbing and emissions controls
  • Relief, flare, vent and emergency-depressurization systems
  • Fire protection, explosion prevention and emergency response
  • Hazardous-material storage, transportation and handling
  • Pilot-plant and scale-up safety
  • Process-safety management systems and operating discipline

Potential Responsibilities
Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may:
  • Identify credible process, chemical, pressure, fire, explosion and toxic-release scenarios.
  • Review process-flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, equipment lists and design criteria.
  • Develop or independently review process-hazard-analysis and HAZOP scopes.
  • Evaluate safeguards, interlocks, alarms, shutdown systems, containment and emergency systems.
  • Assess pressure-relief, venting, scrubbing, flare and depressurization requirements.
  • Review chemical incompatibilities, reaction hazards, decomposition and thermal-runaway potential.
  • Evaluate combustible-dust characteristics, ignition sources, zoning, inerting and explosion protection.
  • Assess materials selection, corrosion, erosion, lining, inspection and mechanical-integrity requirements.
  • Review worker exposure, industrial-hygiene, ventilation and personal-protective-equipment requirements.
  • Evaluate storage, loading, unloading, transportation and security controls for hazardous materials.
  • Assess pilot-plant hazards, representative operating conditions and scale-up risks.
  • Review emergency-response, fire-protection, spill-control and incident-management requirements.
  • Identify fatal flaws, missing safeguards and additional studies required before project advancement.
  • Translate identified hazards into feasibility-study, technical-assistance or pilot-project tasks.
  • Contribute to capital-cost, operating-cost, schedule and implementation assumptions for required safeguards.
  • Evaluate whether proposed safety controls are practical in the host-country operating environment.
  • Participate in sponsor, government, engineering, vendor, insurer or financing-source discussions.
  • Support international meetings, site visits and field verification when required.
  • Prepare concise safety findings and recommendations for senior government decision-makers.
  • Serve as a discipline lead, contributor, same-discipline alternate or independent technical reviewer.

Required Qualifications
Candidates should possess:
  • At least 7-10 years of directly relevant process-safety or hazardous-materials experience, with greater experience preferred for discipline-lead and independent-review roles.
  • A degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, mechanical engineering, fire-protection engineering, metallurgy, chemistry, industrial hygiene or a closely related field.
  • Direct responsibility for identifiable process-hazard analyses, HAZOPs, facility-safety reviews, designs, commissioning programs or operating plants.
  • Demonstrated experience with high-consequence chemical or metallurgical operations.
  • Knowledge of recognized process-safety, fire-protection and hazardous-material practices applicable to the candidate's specialty.
  • Ability to distinguish screening-level concerns from hazards requiring detailed quantitative or design analysis.
  • Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.
  • Ability to prepare concise, decision-oriented technical work.
  • Ability to collaborate across process, mechanical, environmental, operating, commercial and financial disciplines.
  • Either U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent-resident status in the United States.
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
  • Willingness and ability to travel internationally when an assignment requires it.
  • No known employment, confidentiality, intellectual-property, noncompete or conflict-of-interest restriction that would prevent participation.

Professional Engineer, Certified Safety Professional, Certified Industrial Hygienist, certified HAZOP facilitator or equivalent credentials are advantageous but not mandatory when supported by substantial relevant experience.
