Process Safety Engineering Lead - HAZOP Expert

Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases; Huntington Beach (CA); Presencial; USD 91.000 - 170.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases is seeking an Engineering Lead: Process Safety to provide global technical leadership for Hazop studies and safety safeguards under the TEC hazard framework. This role ensures consistent study methods, action closure, and rigorous records from proposals through commissioning.

The position emphasizes design maturity, risk assessment, SIL verification, and coordination with CE&IG Safety, with travel as required.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Safety Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 8+ years of engineering and process-safety experience in energy, chemical processing, industrial gas or high-hazard industries.
• Demonstrated experience leading HAZOP and HAZID studies and assessing hazards, risks and engineered safeguards.
• Ability to review process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), control philosophies, cause-and-effect diagrams and other safety documentation.
• Knowledge of applicable engineering codes, standards and safety regulations.
• Strong multidisciplinary coordination, technical writing, presentation and facilitation skills; willingness to travel as required.
• Experience applying management-of-change processes and verifying documented closure of hazard-study actions.

Responsabilidades

• Lead HAZOP, hazard identification (HAZID), What-If, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), layer of protection analysis (LOPA) and Bowtie studies for the approved product scope.
• Confirm design maturity, study scope, documents and participants; maintain competent facilitators, recorders and safety integrity level (SIL) evaluators under the Head of TEC’s framework.
• Assess credible hazards, consequences, likelihood and safeguards; coordinate alarms, interlocks, shutdown, relief and detection systems and verify safety-instrumented risk reduction with technical owners.
• Assign action owners, priorities and dates; verify closure evidence and elevate unresolved safety actions before project milestones.
• Complete internal HAZOP and major action closure before customer HAZOP; retain engineering-team continuity where practical and preserve controlled study records.
• Support design, constructability, commissioning-readiness and management-of-change reviews, including new technology and operating procedures; provide proposal safety requirements, exceptions, effort and risk inputs.
• Coordinate applicable process-safety, fire, electrical and environmental requirements with engineering owners and CE&IG Safety; support permitting within the assigned scope.
• Maintain global study methods, training, tools and rolling two-year standards plans; obtain formal TEC approvals before Product Center release and incorporate operating and project lessons.
