-   Lead, facilitate, and review **HAZOP studies**, ensuring hazards, causes, consequences, safeguards, and recommendations are accurately captured and maintained.
-   Translate static process safety information, including HAZOPs, operating procedures, inspection records, and manual logs, into structured digital data and workflows.
-   Support the development of **dynamic barrier management systems** that provide real-time visibility into the health and effectiveness of critical safety barriers.
-   Ensure digital representations of physical assets, processes, safeguards, and operating conditions accurately reflect **actual plant and field conditions**.
-   Identify gaps between engineering documentation and physical asset reality, escalating critical discrepancies that could contribute to major accident risks.
-   Collaborate with engineering, operations, maintenance, reliability, HSE, IT, and digital teams to implement practical and scalable safety solutions.
-   Apply **PHA methodologies**, risk assessment techniques, and process safety principles to evaluate operational risks and safety-critical systems.
-   Contribute to the integration of **AI, IoT, cloud platforms, analytics, and real-time data** into process safety and HSE applications.
-   Develop dashboards, reports, and safety performance indicators to support data-driven decision-making and management visibility.
-   Promote continuous improvement in process safety systems, digital workflows, and risk management practices.

### Must-Have Skills

-   Strong expertise in **Process Safety Engineering**.
-   Extensive hands-on experience with **HAZOP** studies and PHA methodologies.
-   Experience in identifying process hazards, evaluating safeguards, and assessing major accident risks.
-   Strong understanding of process safety management principles and safety-critical barriers.
-   Ability to translate complex engineering and operational information into structured digital solutions.
-   Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

### Good-to-Have Skills

-   **LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis)** experience.
-   HAZOP Leader / Facilitator certification.
-   Experience with **Microsoft Power BI** and safety/process data visualization.
-   Experience in **Oil & Gas operations** or other high-hazard industrial environments.
-   Exposure to **AI, IoT, cloud platforms, digital twins, predictive analytics, or real-time monitoring systems**.
-   Familiarity with digital HSE and barrier management platforms.

### Education & Experience

-   Bachelor's degree in **Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering**, or a closely related engineering discipline.
-   Formal training in **PHA methodologies**, with HAZOP/LOPA Leader certification preferred.
-   **6–11 years of relevant professional experience** in process safety, operational risk, HSE engineering, or related industrial environments.
