Job description

Senior Process Engineer

Developing into Process Safety Engineer

Cheshire, North West Up to 65,000 + Excellent Benefits

Are you a Process Engineer passionate about safety and ready to shape your future?
Imagine joining a nationally significant, high-hazard manufacturing site - and being supported to become a specialist Process Safety Engineer, even if you've never worked on a COMAH site before.

This is your chance to make a real difference, grow your expertise, and build a career in process safety that few roles can match.

Why this role is different:

• You don't need COMAH experience - if you bring the right attitude, curiosity, and drive to learn, we'll invest in you.
  
• We'll support you to gain industry-recognised HSE and process safety qualifications (such as NEBOSH and specialist process safety training).
  
• You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas matter, on a site where safety is at the heart of every decision.
  
• You'll take on meaningful projects that protect people, the environment, and the business - and see the real impact of your work.
  

What you'll do:

• Lead and support projects to continuously improve process safety and reduce risk.
  
• Learn and apply tools like HAZOPs, LOPA, SIL assessments, and dispersion modelling.
  
• Work directly with UK regulators (HSE, EA) to help protect the site's licence to operate.
  
• Get involved in emergency planning, alarm management, and human factors work.
  
• Partner with senior stakeholders and industry forums to champion best practices.
  

What we're really looking for:

• A process engineering background (ideally Chartered, or working towards it).
  
• A genuine interest in process safety and protecting people and the environment.
  
• Strong communication skills - able to coach, influence, and collaborate.
  
• Most importantly: a positive, proactive attitude and eagerness to learn - even without prior COMAH experience.
  

Grow your career with us:

• Develop into a specialist Process Safety Engineer, supported every step of the way.
  
• Gain fully funded professional qualifications to strengthen your HSE knowledge.
  
• Join a top-tier COMAH site where no two days are the same - and where your work truly matters.
  

Benefits include:

• Salary up to 65,000
  
• Up to 11% company pension contribution
  
• 10% discretionary annual bonus
  
• Life assurance
  
• Free on-site gym
  
• Optional extra 5 days holiday or 2% salary uplift annually
