Warrington, United Kingdom RPS Group Full time

At RPS, our Human Factors business is going from strength to strength, and we are now looking to expand the team again and appoint an experienced Senior Human Factors Consultant  to join our Risk team.

As a Senior Human Factors Consultant at RPS you will lead and deliver results on multiple Human Factors projects with a variety of clients, whilst developing strong, long-lasting partnerships.

We’re RPS, our projects are all around you. We define, design and manage projects that create shared value to a complex, urbanising and resource-scarce world. Our people are our success. We need people who share our passion on solving the problems that matter. And where you’ll be supported every step of the way. Here is where you come to build a career.

RPS, A Tetra Tech company:

Representing an exciting new chapter in our business, on 24 January 2023 RPS became a Tetra Tech company. With 27,000 employees in more than 550 offices in more than 120 countries on seven continents, Tetra Tech is a leading, global provider of consulting and engineering services. As a Tetra Tech company, RPS is proud to offer our people market-leading development and project opportunities, helping to solve some of the world’s most complex problems.

About the team:

The Human Factors team forms part of our major accident hazard safety business, working predominantly in the nuclear sector. We successfully provide Human Factors design and safety case support to ensure that the role of the operator is fully considered and potential for human error minimised.

We have led the Human Factors support to several high-profile nuclear projects, including a major new build to process and repackage fuel within gloveboxes, and provided Human Factors assessments for decommissioning sites and operational facilities. We also have recently developed safety critical task analysis guidance and undertaken Human Factors assessments for control of major accident hazards (COMAH) sites. We are keen to make the most of opportunities to collaborate with our colleagues in the Health, Safety and Risk team and increase our Human Factors work in sectors outside of our nuclear clients, such as chemical/pharmaceutical, defence, oil & gas, aviation, rail and maritime clients.

Typical projects involve providing tailored Human Factors solutions on the design and operation of a range of topics, such as: control rooms, interface and equipment, layout and workspace, environment, alarm, competency management and procedures. We work remotely, in our RPS offices, at client offices and through site visits, providing an engaging and varied work experience.

Our team’s strategy is to work closely together on projects, as we recognise the benefit of collaborating and sharing insight on technical challenges to provide the best HF solutions for our clients. We also encourage personal development, valuing learning from one another’s experiences and perspectives.
