• Maintaining and improving the site Process Safety Management system
• Supporting incident and near‑miss investigations and sharing learning
• Providing process safety input to capital projects and site modifications
• Supporting COMAH activities, inspections and regulatory interactions
• Monitoring and reporting process safety KPIs

Development & Support

The business actively invests in people and offers:

• Training and mentoring from experienced process safety professionals
• Support with process safety qualifications and certifications
• Opportunities to build experience across COMAH, functional safety and PSM systems
• A team‑based environment with flexible working arrangements

About You

You’ll have experience in a process safety or high‑hazard engineering environment, a good understanding of UK process safety standards, and a desire to continue learning and developing. A chemical engineering or similar technical background is preferred.
