Able to use project engineering principles and economic analyses to help justify, plan and budget for process safety risk reduction projects.
• Leads and/or provides support and technical guidance in incident investigations, hazard identification, facility siting modeling, PHA (Process Hazard Analysis), LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis), relief studies, and dispersion modeling. Able to challenge technical assumptions and validate most likely consequences and risk categorizations, ensuring these process safety studies are technically sound and meet internal and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborates with Engineers to develop intermediate and permanent mitigations to close process safety recommendations/risks, and ensures recommendations are closed in a timely manner.  Able to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate risks and propose viable mitigation measures with appropriate risk reduction factors.
• Interacts frequently with Operations, Maintenance and Engineering personnel at their assigned PSM facilities/organizations to build rapport with the personnel and to be aware of and assist with resolving process safety issues.  Communicates, elevates, and mitigates process safety risks, as appropriate.
• Identifies, develops, and delivers training on process safety management and related topics to stakeholders including technical aspects of process safety such as PHA/LOPA/IPLs, facility siting, dispersion modeling, etc.
• Conducts and/or validates process safety leak calculations and categorization. Analyzes process safety metrics to identify trends, strengths, and improvement opportunities. Develops dashboards and reports to effectively communicate metrics and trends.
• Supports and/or leads audits and assurance activities for process safety. Supports facilities with regulatory inspection and/or enforcement actions.  Able to assess not just basic compliance and conformance, but also the quality of the process safety safeguards and inherent process safety risks.
