Senior Consultant – Technical Safety & QRA

About the role

Be the senior modeller and lead author for quantitative and consequence‑based safety studies. Turn facility data into defensible risk results, guide operator engineers through your models in review workshops, and coach the engineers working with you.

Key responsibilities

• Build, run and document PHAST/SAFETI models for QRA, FERA, EERA, ESSA, BRA, TRIA and H2S zoning, delivering LSIR contours, F‑N curves and risk‑ranking results.
• Model flare and vent thermal radiation and gas dispersion (Flaresim), map fire and gas detector coverage (Detect3D or similar), and assess dropped‑object and ship‑collision risk.
• Develop parts counts, failure frequencies using IOGP data directory and other sources, and maintain assumption registers.
• Integrate FEED/EPC project models into existing facility models; assess SIMOPS, operating modes and sensitivity cases for onshore plants, offshore installations, pipelines and well sites.
• Identify risk reduction measures and prepare ALARP demonstrations.
• Hand over complete, re‑runnable native model files and close out review comments.

Required profile

• Degree in Chemical, Process, Mechanical or Safety Engineering.
• 10+ years of technical safety/loss prevention experience with extensive hands‑on SAFETI and PHAST modelling of oil & gas facilities.
• Strong grasp of sour‑service (H2S) hazards, toxic dispersion, occupied‑building risk (API RP 752/753) and escalation analysis.
• Experience working to operator HSE standards in the UAE/GCC.
• Clear report writing and confidence to defend results in face‑to‑face clarification meetings.
