Typical duties will include:


• Development of process engineering standards, manuals, methodologies, work processes, procedures and enabling tools and systems for clients.

• Audits and authoritative reviews of practices and procedures in place at client sites to confirm whether actual methods of operation match documented procedures.

• Interfacing with relevant functional groups, including leading or conducting studies to help resolve issues related to management of process safety risks

• On-site surveys of chemical process plant (vessels, tanks, pipework, structures, etc.) to ensure that documentation is complete and accurate, producing as-built documents where appropriate

• Hazard identification and risk assessment studies, including HAZID, HAZOP and LOPA

• Provision of process engineering expertise in support of engineering and EHS studies, design reviews and projects

• Consultancy work related to DSEAR

• Contribute to clients’ sustainability and growth by identifying cost effective solutions to problems

• Ensure client needs and expectations continue to be met in relation to quality, cost and delivery

• Delivery of client projects to deadlines and budgets


Additional duties or areas for development may include:


• Preparation of COMAH Safety Reports

• Preparation of [semi-]quantitative risk assessments including:

• ‘Predictive’ submissions under the COMAH Regulations, including representative set development / validation

• Occupied Buildings Risk Assessment (OBRA), including toxic refuge siting / condition reviews

• Standalone consequence modelling studies, including development and implementation of spreadsheet-based models where required

• Use of existing methodologies to provide bespoke offerings


About you


We are looking for someone with strong experience in a similar position, so this vacancy would suit a current senior consultant looking to move to a growth-focussed organisation who have been expanding rapidly and can provide a wide range of interesting projects, or someone at project level looking to take the next step in their career.


We would like to see the following:


  • Degree in Chemical or Process Engineering
  • Good experience within the Chemical Manufacturing industry (including design principles, process and standards for process plant)
  • Strong knowledge of relevant UK legislation in this sector (e.g. COMAH, DSEAR and related codes/standards)
  • Ability to develop good personal relationships with work colleagues and to contribute constructively and effectively to projects as a part of a multi-disciplinary team
  • Client management and business development skills


Due to travel requirements, the ability to drive would be advantageous for this position.
