​Process Safety Engineer Farnham

​Process Safety Engineer

Process Safety Engineers develop and implement safety systems that reduce the risk of hazardous incidents in pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing. They ensure that operations involving flammable, reactive, or toxic materials are designed and maintained with risk mitigation at the forefront.

Key tasks include:

• Conducting hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) – Identifying process risks and recommending mitigation strategies.

• Designing safety systems and controls – Including pressure relief devices, containment measures, and emergency shutdown protocols.

• Performing risk assessments – Such as SIL (Safety Integrity Level) analysis, LOPA (Layers of Protection Analysis), and DSEAR/ATEX compliance reviews.

• Supporting process design – Working with engineers and chemists to incorporate safety into new equipment or scale-up plans.

• Investigating incidents and near misses – Leading root cause analysis and implementing corrective/preventative actions (CAPAs).

A strong background in chemical engineering and regulatory frameworks (HSE, OSHA, COMAH) is essential for this role.

Farnham

Farnham is an attractive town in Surrey in South East England approximately 35 miles from London, 11 miles from Guildford and 20 miles from Basingstoke.  Farnham has a very long history, with artefacts from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age having been discovered.   Farnham Castle was the scene of many battles during the Civil War when the town supported the Parliamentarians rather than the Royalists.  In the ensuing years Farnham grew into a successful market town and, with the arrival of the railway, a popular commuter town.   Visitor attractions within easy reach of Farnham include Waverley Abbey, the first Cistercian Abbey in England, the Surrey Hills Area, the North Downs Way, Alice Holt Forest and Frensham Ponds.
