Senior Process Engineer
Developing into Process Safety Engineer
Cheshire, North West | Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits
Are you a Process Engineer passionate about safety and ready to shape your future?
Imagine joining a nationally significant, high-hazard manufacturing site - and being supported to become a specialist Process Safety Engineer, even if you've never worked on a COMAH site before.
This is your chance to make a real difference, grow your expertise, and build a career in process safety that few roles can match.
Why this role is different:
You don't need COMAH experience - if you bring the right attitude, curiosity, and drive to learn, we'll invest in you.
We'll support you to gain industry-recognised HSE and process safety qualifications (such as NEBOSH and specialist process safety training).
You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas matter, on a site where safety is at the heart of every decision.
You'll take on meaningful projects that protect people, the environment, and the business - and see the real impact of your work.
What you'll do:
Lead and support projects to continuously improve process safety and reduce risk.
Learn and apply tools like HAZOPs, LOPA, SIL assessments, and dispersion modelling.
Work directly with UK regulators (HSE, EA) to help protect the site's licence to operate.
Get involved in emergency planning, alarm management, and human factors work.
Partner with senior stakeholders and industry forums to champion best practices.
What we're really looking for:
A process engineering background (ideally Chartered, or working towards it).
A genuine interest in process safety and protecting people and the environment.
Strong communication skills - able to coach, influence, and collaborate.
Most importantly: a positive, proactive attitude and eagerness to learn - even without prior COMAH experience.
Grow your career with us:
Develop into a specialist Process Safety Engineer, supported every step of the way.
Gain fully funded professional qualifications to strengthen your HSE knowledge.
Join a top-tier COMAH site where no two days are the same - and where your work truly matters.
Benefits include:
Salary up to £65,000
Up to 11% company pension contribution
10% discretionary annual bonus
Life assurance
Free on-site gym
Optional extra 5 days holiday or 2% salary uplift annually
If you want more than just another engineering job - and you're excited to grow into process safety, whatever your background - we'd love to hear from you.
