Design Safety Engineer - Manchester

Design Safety Engineer – Manchester Job Description
Design HSE engineering is a fundamental discipline upon which process safety of plant design is based. Design HSE Engineers therefore provide the basic design information which enables other disciplines to proceed with project and proposal work. Design HSE engineering work can therefore have a significant impact on project costs and programme. A Design HSE Engineer will normally be supervised by a Senior, Principal or Chief Design HSE Engineer but may take the lead role on smaller projects and will be able to self-manage effectively.
