ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY Our client, a major industrial manufacturer, is building a landmark greenfield facility in the Greater Baton Rouge area — and is hiring a Process Safety Engineer to help build and run its process safety program as the site moves from construction through startup and steady-state operations. This is a hands-on, technical role centered on Process Safety Management (PSM). You'll execute the PHA, MOC, mechanical-integrity, and PSSR work that protects employees, contractors, facilities, and the surrounding community — a rare chance to stand up process safety for a major new Ascension Parish operation from the ground floor.
WHAT YOU'LL DO - Execute and maintain Process Safety Management (PSM) program elements
- Lead and facilitate Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs/HAZOPs) and LOPA studies
- Manage Management of Change (MOC) reviews and documentation
- Maintain Process Safety Information (PSI) — P&IDs, safe operating limits, and chemical data
- Support mechanical-integrity inspection and testing programs
- Conduct Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR) as equipment and systems come online
- Perform risk assessments, job safety analyses, inspections, incident investigations, and corrective-action tracking
- Support OSHA regulatory compliance, contractor safety, permit-to-work, industrial hygiene, and emergency preparedness
- Monitor leading and lagging indicators and prepare reports, trend analyses, and recommendations
- Maintain audit-ready compliance records and support regulatory inspections
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Level and compensation are set by experience: - Process Safety Engineer (Mid-Level): $80,000 – $105,000
- Senior Process Safety Engineer: $105,000 – $130,000
