Process Safety Specialist
Salary: £52,505 - £56,848
Locations: UK wide
Closing date: 24th March 2019
Our Process Safety engineers help to ensure employers across Great Britain – a whole range of essential industries - work safely. In this role, you can utilise your considerable technical knowledge and practical experience to influence not only individual employers but whole industry sectors.
Well-versed in controlling risk in process plants in the chemical industry chemical, you understand just what it takes to maintain safety standards when manufacturing, storing and handling hazardous substances. Not only that, but your chemical engineering qualifications and skills are the reason why colleagues turn to you for advice through periods of change.
It’s these qualities that will ensure you flourish in the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) – a place where you can apply your expertise to ensure employers are successfully providing a safe working environment for their staff, and enforce action on those who are failing in their duty of care. Joining the Chemicals, Explosives and Microbiological Hazards Division, you will therefore be tasked with conducting site inspections of major hazard installations, plus other premises where process safety issues are relevant.
It’s challenging work, with the scope to transform the working practices of British employment sectors for the better. So if you’re ready to step up to the challenge, we’ve got a place for you at HSE.
Company
At the Health and Safety Executive, we believe everyone has the right to come home safe and well from their job. That’s why our mission is to prevent work-related death, injury and ill health.
We are proud of the support we provide to businesses – through free guidance and advice. By giving employers the confidence to manage risks correctly, we boost productivity, support the economy and contribute to a fairer society.
HSE helps workers understand how they can stay safe and well.
With roots stretching back to 1833 the modern HSE is an independent regulator with over forty years’ experience helping Great Britain work well. Using world leading science we have helped protect millions of people from devastating injury and suffering.
HSE leads the way, but doesn’t act alone. Everyone has a part to play - employers, unions, trade associations, professional bodies, academics and others.
Working in partnership is one of our strengths. It’s at the heart of how we protect workers and the public.
We concentrate on the most serious risks. We target industries with the greatest hazards, and sectors with the worst risk management record.
We are firm and fair when using our legal powers. Inspection helps us check that serious risks are managed sensibly. When things go wrong, investigation helps us get to the truth and learn lessons.
We hold employers to account for their failures and get answers for victims and make workplaces safer.
The world of work is always changing. We use science to understand these changes. And that understanding helps us all prepare for the workplaces of tomorrow...so Great Britain continues to be one of the safest and best places to work and do business.
We are the Health and Safety Executive.
