  • Provide engineering technical input into process design and hazard studies.
  • Act as the site point of contact for all process safety-related matters, providing day-to-day advice and guidance.
  • Participate in and/or lead incident investigations related to PSM/RMP-covered processes, ensuring root causes are identified and addressed.
  • Participate in PSM/RMP compliance audits, oversee post-audit corrective/preventive actions, and track them to completion.
  • Track site KPIs to drive continual improvement of process safety and risk mitigation.
  • Identify process safety training needs and provide training through in-house resources or external consultancy.
  • Provide technical support to ensure PSM equipment is designed, maintained, modified, operated, and decommissioned in compliance with industry standards.
  • Work closely with all disciplines to identify improvement opportunities and ensure plant processes are optimized.
  • Ensure safe processes, work conditions, and behaviors through active leadership in Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE).
  • Provide process engineering support to all aspects of operations, guiding new equipment design and commissioning, introducing new products, and solving process issues.
  • Work with project engineers and external contractors to introduce new equipment and develop and commission new processes.
  • Apply LEAN, Six Sigma, and other Continuous Improvement tools and techniques as required.
  • Provide guidance to production supervisors and engineers, offering training and coaching as needed.
