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.

Apply now and take the first step towards becoming a specialist Process Safety Engineer.

If you'd also like, I can help write a short LinkedIn post, a candidate briefing document, or a branded visual to share. Just let me know!

At Morgan Ryder we can provide you with a full range of employment opportunities from short term and fixed term temporary vacancies to permanent positions.

We recruit for companies that operate in the following industries: Food and Drink Manufacturers, FMCG, Packaging, Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Warehousing, Logistics, Waste Management, Petro Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Power & Renewable Energy.

Our commitment:

Equal opportunities are important to us. We believe that diversity and inclusion at Morgan Ryder Associates are critical to our success as DE&I positive company, so we want to recruit, develop, and keep the best talent. We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, ethnicity, belief, age, family or parental status, and any other characteristic.

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.
