INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA

Location:
League City, Texas (hybrid)

Grade: H36/37

Salary Range:
Starting at $142,000 (commensurate with experience)

The Process Safety Advisor provides deep technical expertise and hands‑on leadership in support of INEOS O&P USA’s process safety and risk management programs. Working within the corporate Process Safety function, this role supports the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of programs related to OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM ), EPA Risk Management Program (RMP 40 CFR 68), INEOS 20 Principles (20P), and INEOS Group Guidance Notes (IGGN) across all manufacturing sites.

The Process Safety Advisor delivers authoritative guidance, training, and mentorship to site personnel and PSM team members in regulatory compliance and risk management best practices. The role supports company‑wide process safety performance by influencing and providing technical leadership to help move the organization to the next level of performance in process safety, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.

The role applies regulatory knowledge, risk assessment methodologies, and good engineering practices across three major manufacturing sites and the O&P USA division office. The Process Safety Advisor serves as a key technical resource on facility siting, PHA/LOPA methodologies, dispersion modelling, MOC/PSSR, and capital project process safety requirements—helping to ensure that risk management is embedded into all phases of design, operation, and change management.

The Process Safety Advisor actively participates in trade and industry organizations (e.g., AFPM, TCC, AIChE CCPS) and monitors regulatory developments (OSHA, EPA, CSB) to help ensure O&P USA remains aligned with emerging process safety trends, best practices, and regulatory expectations.

INEOS O&P USA is a major contributor to INEOS Group performance—yet operates aging assets with significant variability in standards, work practices, and process safety maturity. The enterprise is undergoing a major transformation to implement a corporate Operations Management System (OMS) and centralize discipline leadership through a new Engineering & Technology organization.

The Process Safety Advisor plays an important role in this change. Working under the direction of the Process Safety Manager, the role helps drive consistency in process safety programs across all sites, supports alignment with regulatory and corporate expectations, and contributes to the transition from site-based autonomy to a unified enterprise model. Success requires deep regulatory knowledge, credibility with site teams and leadership, and the ability to influence through technical expertise and coaching.
