Leatherhead, Surrey, United Kingdom RINA Full time

RINA's Maritime Safety Consulting division is seeking a highly skilled Safety Engineering Consultant to join a dedicated and expanding team, focusing on Defence clients across various naval platforms, including surface vessels, carriers, submarines, and unmanned systems. This position presents a unique opportunity to contribute to the enhancement of RINA's Safety and/or Independent Safety Assurance (ISA) capabilities, delivering top-tier safety advisory services to the Royal Navy.

The role can be performed from our offices in Southampton, Chippenham, or Leatherhead, although RINA promotes a smart/hybrid working environment, allowing for flexibility in location.

  • Lead diverse Maritime Safety Engineering projects, ensuring timely delivery, adherence to budget, and compliance with quality standards;
  • Manage projects independently or oversee a small team;
  • Assist in bids, proposals, analytical tasks, and report generation;
  • Advocate for RINA's Safety capabilities to clients, providing expert advice through direct engagement, relationship building, and presentations;
  • Support the Safety management team in enhancing safety capabilities to address emerging market needs;
  • Note that this role does not pertain to Health & Safety (HSE).

Qualifications & Experience:

  • A minimum of ten years' experience in implementing safety engineering management solutions in high-risk environments;
  • Familiarity with UK MOD (Defence) maritime/naval platforms;
  • Proven experience in conducting Hazard & Safety Risk Analysis or Independent Safety Assurance (ISA) projects, including the development of safety cases;
  • Proficient in the use of Safety Engineering tools such as Reliability Workbench, ASCE, BowTie, ETA, or FTA;
  • Some knowledge of Defence Standard 00-56 and related regulations, including DSA02-DMR;
  • Understanding of UK MOD frameworks (e.g., Aurora);
  • Basic knowledge of ASEMS, POSMS, and POEMS processes;
  • An engineering background is essential;
  • Ideally, candidates will possess UK Security Clearance or be British citizens willing to undergo vetting.
