1. Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field.
2. Minimum of 3 years experience in electrical process safety, ideally within the oil & gas, chemical, or manufacturing industries.
3. Strong knowledge of electrical systems and process safety engineering, with expertise in risk assessment techniques and tools (e.g., HAZOP, FMEA).
4. Familiarity with safety standards such as OSHA, IEC 61508/61511, NFPA 70E, and IEEE.
5. Excellent analytical skills with an ability to troubleshoot complex systems and develop innovative solutions to safety challenges.
6. Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to present technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
7. Proven ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams and effectively manage safety initiatives in a dynamic environment.

Preferred Skills:

1. Certified Process Safety Professional (CPSP), Professional Engineer (PE) license, or equivalent certifications are highly desirable.
2. Previous experience with safety-critical electrical systems in industries such as pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, or utilities.
3. Familiarity with software for process simulation and safety assessment, such as PHA Pro, BowTieXP, or risk analysis tools, is a plus.

The Package:

1. A market competitive salary
2. 35 days holidays per annum
3. Annual Pay Review
4. Bonus Scheme - subject to business performance
5. One of the UK's leading defined contribution pension schemes (10% employer contribution / 6% employee contribution)
