Champion Process Safety, Reduce Risk, Protect Our People
AvantiGas is looking for an experienced Process Safety Engineer to champion process safety across our Seveso/COMAH sites throughout the UGI North Region, supporting our Process Technical Lead with licences and consents, and driving the innovation projects that reduce risk in our high-hazard operations.
We are looking for someone who can champion process safety standards and culture at every level of the business, drive continuous improvement, and provide honest, reasoned safety reporting - even where that means having difficult conversations.
The Opportunity
As Process Safety Engineer, you will be responsible for process safety across all Seveso/COMAH operating sites throughout the UGI North Region, working within a matrix organisation and reporting to the Process Technical Lead.
You will work within our regional Technical team, offering national coverage and supporting Region North where necessary. The role is based at our Head Office in Staveley, Chesterfield, with travel to operational sites and customer locations, and national and international travel will be required as the role demands.
What You Will Be Doing
- Develop, define and publish our Process Safety suite of standards and approaches.
- Carry out gap assessments and ensure compliance with Process Safety standards.
- Generate, report and justify key performance and efficiency metrics for Process Safety.
- Roll out Process Safety standards, training, buy-in and competency assurance at every level of the business.
- Ensure high-hazard activities are suitably identified, risk assessed, documented, trained and audited, including Management of Change (MoC) procedures.
- Maintain adherence to internal standards, policies and procedures, or provide robust justification to support derogation.
- Support the regulatory intervention programme, communications and compliance.
- Justify decision-making relating to risk reduction measures (ALARP) and maximise operational up-time, including process changes to support consenting activities.
- Provide honest and reasoned reporting of safety incidents, even where conflict applies.
