- 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.

- 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.

- SIS/DCS lifecycle experience.
