• Own BTM process design and safety standards
• Develop and maintain process design standards and methodologies for BTM solutions, including:
• Reciprocating gas engines (RICE) and turbines
• Fuel cells and associated balance-of-plant
• Fuel-gas supply and conditioning (pressure regulation, metering, filtration, heating/odorization as applicable)
• Exhaust and emissions treatment systems
• Ventilation and combustion air
• Cooling interfaces and ancillary process skids
• Define and maintain design basis documents, PFDs/P&IDs, calculation packages, and review/approval workflows.

• Lead process hazard and risk assessments
• Plan, lead, and document PHA studies (HAZOP, HAZID, What‑If) and LOPA for fuel handling and generation‑adjacent processes.
• Establish risk acceptance criteria and ensure recommendations and action items have clear owners, due dates, and are driven to closure.
• Coordinate with controls, electrical, and mechanical teams to translate PHA outcomes into safeguards, alarms, trips, and procedures.

• Embed process safety in design, commissioning, and operations
• Drive inherently safer design by influencing layout, equipment selection, relief and vent systems, and segregation/containment strategies.
• Define expectations for operating limits, alarm setpoints, shutdown logic, bypass management, and proof‑testing in collaboration with controls/OT teams.
• Support development of cause‑and‑effect matrices, safety instrumented functions (SIFs), and SIL classifications where applicable.
• Provide process safety input to commissioning plans, PSSRs, and readiness reviews before startup.

• Support permitting, compliance, and auditability
• Partner with EHS and environmental teams to provide process safety content for permits and regulatory interfaces (e.g., inputs to PSM/RMP‑type elements where applicable).
• Ensure process safety practices and documentation are audit‑ready, including PHA records, action tracking, MOC history, and training evidence.

• Strengthen operations, MOC, and learning culture
• Develop expectations for normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures, and partner with Operations to embed these into runbooks, SOPs, and drills.
• Support and improve Management of Change (MOC) processes for process‑impacting changes in design, controls, or operating strategy.
• Participate in incident investigations and root cause analyses (RCA); capture lessons learned and convert them into standard updates across the portfolio.
• Track and report leading and lagging process safety metrics (e.g., PHA completion, action closure, near misses) to drive continuous improvement.

• Provide field and stakeholder support
• Visit construction and operating sites to observe field execution, verify design intent, and identify practical improvements in safety and operability.
• Build strong working relationships with engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, and EHS to ensure aligned decision‑making on risk

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Safety Engineering, or closely related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in process safety and/or process engineering in industrial environments such as:
• Power generation (gas‑fired, CHP, or similar)
• Oil & gas / midstream / LNG
• Petrochemical / refining
• Large‑scale industrial or energy infrastructure

• Demonstrated expertise in process safety and PHA, including hands‑on…
