• Maintain technical and operational documentation (P&IDs, procedures, operating envelopes) and oversee management of change (MOC)
• Improve asset reliability through preventive/predictive maintenance strategies, RCA, turnaround planning, and integrity programmes
• Ensure compliance with site HSE standards, process safety controls, and contractor safety requirements
• Lead and participate in risk assessments (HAZOP/LOPA), incident investigations, and corrective action closure
• Manage contractors and safe systems of work (Permit‑to‑Work, isolations/LOTO, method statements and risk assessments)
• Track and improve KPIs across safety, production, quality, reliability, and budget performance
• Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Laboratory, Supply Chain, and external vendors to deliver operational targets
• Support internal and external audits; maintain readiness for inspections and strengthen continuous improvement practices

• Working knowledge of industrial safety and process safety expectations in high‑hazard environments (HSE management systems, Permit‑to‑Work, isolations/LOTO, contractor management; local regulatory alignment as applicable to the site)
• Familiarity with common plant systems and tools such as CMMS/EAM (e.g., SAP/Maximo), process historians (e.g., PI System), and engineering documentation standards
• Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills with the ability to work across multicultural teams
