Product Safety Engineers - Defence

Location - Coventry, 2 days a fortnight on site.

Salary - £45,000 / £61,000 plus package.

Security - Due to the sensitive nature of the work, applicants must be UK passport holders with no dual nationality.

Copello are recruiting Intermediate and Senior Product Safety Engineers on behalf of a leading Defence Prime, supporting both current and next-generation programmes.

This is a hybrid role based in Coventry (2 days onsite per fortnight), offering the chance to work on major naval defence programmes involving highly complex, safety-critical systems.

You’ll play a key role in the governance of safety analysis and safety case activities, supporting approvals, identifying risk, challenging where needed, and helping embed safety processes across the wider business.

It’s an exciting time to join the Safety & Environmental team, following a recent government contract win that places the organisation in a strong position to innovate within the Defence and Marine sectors. There’s genuine opportunity for career development, backed by senior leadership support.

Essential:

* Degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience)

* Experience in high-hazard industries (Defence, Oil & Gas, Rail, Aerospace etc.)

* Safety case development experience

Desirable:

* Product Safety Engineering background

* Knowledge of safety techniques (HAZOP, FTA, ALARP, FHA, FSA, etc.)

* Familiarity with Defence Standards (00-56, 00-55, DSA-01, DSA-02)
