Specifically, we are seeking someone who can maintain and further develop our internal software tools that support our consultancy services.
Background

We help clients to manage health, safety, security, environmental and business risk in sectors where the impact of loss is significant. Our people are high calibre professionals, with a strong focus on meeting clients’ expectations and we have offices across the UK and in the Netherlands, Dubai, Muscat, Houston and Calgary.
Role Description
The successful candidate will be part of an energetic, expanding team, and will be expected to work effectively and collaboratively with colleagues on multiple projects in a supportive, progressive environment.
This permanent position would be based preferably at our Warrington office, but our other office locations will also be considered. The role may involve some occasional travel within the UK and world-wide locations to meet project requirements.
This varied and challenging role will help drive forward Risktec’s risk management consulting services, with your focus in two key areas:
* Technical safety project work and consultancy for external clients; and
* Maintenance and development of internal software packages supporting consultancy services.

* Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
* Fire and Gas Mapping
* Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) studies
* Experience in the use of software packages such as SAFETI, PHAST, FRED, SHEPHERD, FLACS, FDS, Reliability/ Availability Workbench

Tasks may include scripting of simulation data analyses, 3D and mathematical modelling, process automation and development of bespoke risk modelling software solutions based on specific client requests. To fulfil this responsibility, applicants should be experienced in both front-end and back-end development languages, frameworks and third-party libraries.
You will be the driving force behind the software maintenance/ development programme – leading, managing and implementing it – assisted by Directors, subject matter experts and consultants.
