Process Safety Lead

This is a position for a process safety professional who operates at engineering depth — someone who understands that safety is an outcome of good design, not a layer applied after the fact.

Working across capital projects and live operations on behalf of a complex, high-hazard site in Cork, you will serve as the primary process safety authority — shaping how risk is identified, assessed, and designed out from the earliest stages of project development through to operational delivery.

• Act as the process safety subject matter expert across capital projects and live site operations
  
• Lead and facilitate HAZOPs, Process Hazard Analysis and structured risk assessments
  
• Support Management of Change processes and safe design principles at project level
  
• Provide technical guidance on ATEX classification, hazardous area design and machinery safety
  
• Support equipment safety, CE marking and compliance with applicable EN and corporate standards
  
• Work directly with engineering, project and operational teams to embed process safety standards throughout delivery
  
• Contribute to the development of internal process safety tools, standards and capability
  

• A strong foundation in process safety within pharma, chemical or high-hazard manufacturing
  
• Proven experience supporting capital projects and working alongside engineering teams
  
• Demonstrated capability in HAZOP, PHA, ATEX and machinery safety
  
• Working knowledge of Irish and EU regulatory frameworks and relevant technical standards
  
• The ability to influence across project, site and functional boundaries without positional authority
  
• A practical orientation — you translate standards into real-world application, not the other way around
