 • Support Safety Case material changes and 5-Year Thorough Reviews
 • Apply COMAH regulations and contribute to wider process safety compliance activities
 • Support offshore and onshore operational risk assessments and engineering projects
 • Liaise with project teams, operational personnel, regulators, and senior stakeholders on technical safety matters

 Candidate Requirements 
• Degree qualified in Process Safety, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline
 • Approximately 3–5 years’ experience within Oil & Gas, Energy, Chemicals, or another high-hazard industry
 • Previous experience within a Technical Safety or Process Safety engineering role
 • Experience using software such as PHAST, PHAPro, BowTie XP and FLARESIM
 • Understanding of UK offshore safety regulations and COMAH legislation
 • CFD experience would be advantageous
 • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
 • Motivated individual looking to develop within a technically challenging operator environment

 What’s on offer 
• Excellent career progression opportunities within a global energy organisation
 • Competitive salary and relocation support package
 • Discretionary bonus scheme
 • Private medical and dental insurance
 • Enhanced pension provision
 • Profit sharing scheme
 • 25 days holiday plus additional flex days
