Job Description
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Process Safety Lead to provide site leadership for Process Safety Engineering during the commissioning, start-up, transition and early operational phases of the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project.
The role will provide a strong link between engineering design, field modifications, commissioning, operations and safety-management systems. The successful candidate will lead the practical implementation of process-safety requirements at site, ensuring that hazards and changes are appropriately assessed, actions are driven to closure, and process-safety requirements are embedded before systems transition into operation.
The position is particularly important as the project moves toward hazardous inventories and operating conditions where robust process-safety management and emergency readiness become critical.

Support training and competency development for engineering, commissioning and operations personnel.
•
Coordinate Design Near Miss initiatives and ensure timely follow-up and closure of associated actions.
