The role also requires working knowledge of technical process safety disciplines, including explosion effects analysis and facility sitting, pressure relief and disposal system adequacy, consequence analysis, dispersion modeling, fire protection systems, and hazard identification methodologies (e.g., HAZOP or similar). Experience with risk analysis tools such as Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Event Tree Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, and availability target setting is expected, along with the application of safety-in-design principles and Management of Change evaluations.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including operations, engineering, maintenance, and site leadership-to strengthen process safety culture and embed risk-based thinking throughout the organization. Success in this role will depend on your ability to influence stakeholders, lead site-wide initiatives, and drive continuous improvement in process safety performance, operational discipline, and risk management.
