Process Safety Engineer

Job Description Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Process Safety Engineer to provide site leadership for Process Safety Engineering during the commissioning, start-up, transition and early operational phases of the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project. The role will provide a strong link between engineering design, field modifications, commissioning, operations and safety-management systems. The successful candidate will lead the practical implementation of process-safety requirements at site, ensuring that hazards and changes are appropriately assessed, actions are driven to closure, and process-safety requirements are embedded before systems transition into operation. The position is particularly important as the project moves toward hazardous inventories and operating conditions where robust process-safety management and emergency readiness become critical. Key Responsibilities Process Safety Management • Lead site implementation and ongoing development of the project's Process Safety Management requirements, including support for OSHA PSM / 29 CFR 1910.119 , training, eMOC administration, and management of threshold hazardous chemical inventory requirements. • Support Operational readiness inspections, Field change notes reviews, and Emergency Management Plan activities. • Coordinate Process Safety Information, operating readiness and management-system requirements associated with hazardous materials. • Support training and competency development for engineering, commissioning and operations personnel. • Coordinate Design Near Miss initiatives and ensure timely follow-up and closure of associated actions. • Ensure HCIS Safety and Fire protection compliance across the project sites. • Review field changes and modifications for potential Process Safety consequences before implementation. • Ensure changes are reflected in applicable hazard assessments and Process Safety Information. Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. • Minimum of 10 years of experience in Industry • Strong professional experience in Process Safety within major process, chemical, energy, hydrogen, ammonia, oil & gas or petrochemical facilities. • Demonstrable experience working on major-project commissioning, start-up and/or operating facilities. • Practical experience of Process Hazard Analysis and process-safety risk assessment. • Working knowledge of Process Safety Management frameworks and hazardous-process facilities. • Ability to work effectively across engineering, construction, commissioning, operations and safety organizations. Preferred Experience • Hands-on experience facilitating HAZOP and LOPA workshops. • Experience with Management of Change and field-change risk assessment. • Experience supporting commissioning and operational-readiness programmes. • Experience with hydrogen, ammonia or other highly hazardous chemical facilities would be highly valuable. • Previous Middle East or Saudi Arabia major-project/site experience would be advantageous. • Experience taking process-safety recommendations from identification through practical field implementation and verified closure.
