Safety Integrity Level (SIL) studies and lifecycle support
Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and consequence modelling (fire, explosion, toxic dispersion)
Facility siting and layout risk assessments
Inherently safer design reviews
Process Safety Management (PSM) frameworks and major accident hazard management
Development of fire protection philosophies and design basis documentation
Fire and gas detection philosophies, system architecture, and coverage strategies
Firewater system philosophies, hydraulic analysis input, and network design support
Fixed fire suppression system philosophies (foam, deluge, water spray, clean agent, inert gas, CO₂ where applicable)
Passive fire protection requirements and fire ratings
Ensure process safety and fire protection requirements are fully integrated with process, mechanical, piping, electrical, and I&C design to achieve ALARP risk outcomes and fit‑for‑purpose life safety solutions

Project Execution & Client Support   Act as a senior technical contributor on projects, providing discipline input from concept through detailed engineering, construction support, and commissioning
Support the development of project‑specific process safety and fire protection philosophies and execution strategies
Participate in and facilitate client and internal workshops and technical reviews (e.g., HAZOPs, SIL studies, QRA reviews, fire protection design reviews)
Provide technical support for Management of Change (MOC), technical queries, and deviations during project execution
Support proposals, bids, and pursuits through technical input, work scope definition, and execution planning
Interface directly with clients to provide credible, practical, and risk‑informed process safety and fire protection advice

Technical Assurance & Continuous Improvement   Review and check process safety and fire protection deliverables to ensure compliance with Worley standards, applicable codes, regulatory requirements, and client specifications
Contribute to the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of Worley technical standards, guidelines, tools, and work processes related to process safety and fire protection
Support discipline leadership in identifying technical improvement opportunities, lessons learned, and best practices

Capability Development & Mentorship   Provide day‑to‑day technical guidance and mentoring to Intermediate and Junior Process Safety / Fire Protection Engineers
Support the development of discipline capability through knowledge sharing, technical coaching, and participation in internal communities of practice
Contribute to technical training initiatives and capability‑building activities within the discipline

Qualifications & Experience   Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registered with APEGA (or eligible for registration)
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Chemical preferred; Fire Protection, Mechanical, or equivalent considered)
Significant experience in process safety and/or fire protection engineering within an EPC/EPCM…
