Job Title – Principal Consultant – Technical Safety & Risk (Energy)

Location: UK

Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

Our risk, security and resilience practice has helped organisations to understand their exposure to threats and make better risk-informed decisions since it was formed in the mid-1990s. Our team of experts are trusted advisors to private and public-sector clients, providing strategic risk management, technical risk assessment, operational planning, security engineering and counter-terrorism design measures that suit their business needs.

Our built environment and engineering systems are becoming ever more complex, whether that be due to change in use, new legislations, emergent development, or disruption from new technologies to industries and ways of working, as such the risks to society from complex technical and engineering system failure are constantly evolving.

Our technical safety, risk and reliability engineering experts apply their knowledge, critical thinking, and experience to help our clients to understand and anticipate what could go wrong, and we help with finding better solutions to ensure that risks are effectively managed and controlled. Our team has consistently delivered high-quality advisory and engineering services to clients across a range of markets and industries, including Rail, Energy, Data Centres, Highways, Healthcare, Property and Scientific research facilities.

The Opportunity

You will join Arup as a Principal Consultant working in our technical safety, risk, and reliability engineering team with a focus on sustainable development associated with low carbon and energy transition across a range of sectors. You will be a technical specialist and expert, and instrumental in the development of our Energy business, by promoting our service offerings, developing, and growing the team of Technical Safety, Risk and Reliability consultants. The types of projects you will be involved range from advisory to engineering solution based technical safety and risk related studies across a range of project lifecycle stages (such as research & development, feasibility to concept and detailed design).

Your role will be client-facing, focussed on low carbon and energy transition (such as hydrogen).You will build and foster client relationships through excellence in project delivery and work winning. You will guide project teams to advise clients and find a better way to deliver better solutions. You will be working collaboratively with other technical domain experts, in multi-disciplinary design teams, including other energy consultants, and project managers to deliver solutions to the unique difficulties our clients face.

As well as an exemplary standard of technical knowledge in technical safety & risk management, you will have strong skills in analytical evaluation, be creative in problem solving, have excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills and be a team player. You will be collaborative in your approach, flexible and agile in your way of working with and guiding others but able to work individually when needed.

As part of a multi-industry team, you will also be expected to manage and promote the continual development of technical excellence and mentor junior consultants. You will need to adapt and transfer your skills to new markets and industries when opportunities arise.

You will be part of a team that is passionate about managing technical safety, risk, and reliability from technical and engineering failures and embedding resilience in our advice and solutions to shape a safer, more reliable, and sustainable future.

Is this role right for you?

  • Background in managing and delivering technical safety and risk management projects.
  • Business development including managing and preparing bids and winning work in the energy sector.
  • Experience of leading technical safety and risk assessment in the regulated industries (e.g. chemical and process, oil and gas).
  • Solid understanding, knowledge, and background in hazard identification, fire, explosion, toxic release and hazard analysis, consequence modelling, risk analysis and safety evaluations techniques and development of safety cases.
  • Background in safety assessment across the life cycle (feasibility studies, design, procurement, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance) of plants in hydrocarbon/gas systems, complex systems, infrastructure and/or major hazard facilities.
  • Solid understanding of relevant international and industry legislation, standards, codes, and guidelines e.g. DSEAR, ATEX, COMAH, RIDDOR, NFPA, API, IFC.
