Do you enjoy being part of a team that ensures the highest safety and quality?

Join our team!

Our Industry & Energy Technology (IET) team provides industry-leading products and services that optimize the extraction, production, and processing of energy. We help a diverse range of customers across the value chain to reduce operating costs and improve productivity. Our team plays an integral role by helping the business plan for the future.

Partner with the best

We are seeking a motivated engineer to join our team and take ownership of product safety aspects concerning Gas Technology Equipment, Climate Technology Solutions and Industrial Power Generation products and Services. You will be responsible to analyse product safety aspects within engineering projects and New Product Development (NPD) programs, leading safety assessments to ensure that personnel and environmental hazards are mitigated to a safe level throughout the entire product lifecycle.

As part of the Product and Technical Safety team, you'll work within a group that combines reactive safety practices with proactive responsibilities, to ensure that personnel and environmental hazards are mitigated to a safe level throughout the entire products and plants lifecycle. In this role, you will also respond to fleet related safety issues, analysing incidents, recommending measures to reduce or eliminate hazards and applying lessons learned to enhance safety standards.

As Product Safety Engineer, your key responsibilities will be:

• Conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential hazards and hazardous situations throughout the product lifecycle, as outlined in standards like ISO 12100.

• Evaluate risks in terms of severity, likelihood, and impact, guiding engineering design teams toward effective mitigation measures, including hazard elimination, safeguarding, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assignment, and supplementary protective actions.

• Conduct Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) to identify and assess risks related to process parameters, recommending targeted measures to enhance safety.

• Apply Quantitative Risk Assessment techniques, including Accident Scenario Reviews (ASR), to define robust mitigation strategies and systematically reduce risks.

• Collaborate closely with Project and Systems Engineers to ensure seamless integration of safety principles and compliance throughout development and execution phases.

• Address Site issues related to product safety in collaboration with Technical Authorities and Product Owners, coordinating site and fleet containment.

• Guide Investigations to identify root causes of the issue and define preventive and corrective actions.

• Collaborate on the development of safety practices for both traditional turbomachinery and emerging technologies - such as hydrogen systems, CO2 capture technologies, and advanced energy systems.

• Integrate sustainability considerations into safety assessments, addressing environmental aspects and focusing on reducing emissions to support broader decarbonization goals.
