Job Description
Position: Senior HSE Advisor – Capital Project
Location: Lebanon, IN — onsite daily
Duration:  12-24 months

Join the Sterling Engineering Team as a Senior HSE Advisor supporting pharmaceutical manufacturing capital projects through design finalization, construction, commissioning, qualification, and early production start-up.

I am looking for Sr HSE Advisor that has been through facility start-ups and knows where risks emerge as construction and operating activities begin to overlap. You will serve as a technical resource to site HSE leadership, review plans, challenge assumptions, and help the team identify gaps before systems enter operation.

What You’ll Do
  • Review simultaneous operations plans, risk assessments, contractor/operations interfaces, and area-turnover sequencing.
  • Advise on life-safety systems and egress during the transition from construction to operations.
  • Support design reviews, PSSR preparation, readiness-package reviews, and field walkdowns.
  • Advise on closure and documentation of declarations of conformity for systems reaching mechanical completion.
  • Participate in process hazard reviews and recommend practical controls for new equipment and processes.
  • Review complex or higher-risk Management of Change packages.
  • Provide advisory input on contractor safety plans and high-risk work permitting.
  • Support incident-investigation reviews and corrective-action development as requested.
  • Advise on SIS/DCS lifecycle questions alongside process control specialists.
  • Mentor site HSE personnel and provide leadership with concise summaries of emerging start-up risks.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Must have a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent regulated-industry experience.
  • Must have at least 12+ years of relevant HSE, process safety, or engineering experience supporting manufacturing or industrial capital projects.
  • Direct experience supporting at least one pharmaceutical or chemical capital-project start-up from construction through operations.
  • Demonstrated experience with SIMOps, PSSR, process hazard reviews, and MOC.
  • Ability to enter an active project, get oriented quickly, and provide practical, independent advice.
  • Multiple facility start-ups and previous consulting or peer-review experience.
  • CFSE, PE, or CHST credentials. 
  • SIS/DCS lifecycle experience. 
  • Familiarity with Veeva QMS or similar compliance documentation systems.
Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information.
