Principal Technical Safety Consultant - Energy

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

As a Principal Technical Safety Consultant, you'll be part of our overall Risk Advisory department, a growing team of over 140 specialists, located across Aberdeen, Loughborough, Stockport and London, providing a wide range of safety and integrity engineering and risk management services to the onshore and offshore energy industry.

Within this, our dedicated Aberdeen Upstream Technical Safety team is a long-standing trusted advisor to the offshore and wider energy industry, delivering consequence and risk assessments, reliability, RBI, ALARP justification, regulatory and risk-based decision support on behalf of operators and their contractors. We utilise a comprehensive range of tools for consequence modelling and risk analysis, typically developed and validated through large/full scale experiments performed at our major hazards testing and research facility in Spadeadam.

Our Opportunity:

Reporting to our Head of Section in Aberdeen, you'll be responsible for helping balance the competing demands of delivering high quality work, with optimizing chargeable time and providing opportunities for personal development, through the delivery of a wide variety of technical safety projects.

You'll engage closely with our customers and collaborate with colleagues across DNV, using your expertise and experience to identify opportunities for innovation and emerging technologies, to help lead the transition of the offshore industry towards net zero.

Your insight and knowledge will be important in proactively seeking innovative opportunities to improve our delivery process in order to help our team evolve and grow. Our Principal Consultants also play a vital role in supporting the development of the next generation, equipping less experienced members of our team with the skills to better understand project scope and delivery schedules, whilst also enhancing their overall technical and commercial skills.

You'll be predominantly based out of our modern offices located at the Aberdeen International Business Park in Dyce. While we support flexible and hybrid/home working arrangements where possible, given the nature of your role, you will need to be in our Aberdeen office 2-3 days a week.

The work undertaken will cover a broad range of technical safety scopes, depending on client needs, but will likely include some, or all, of the following: HAZID/HAZOP, EERA, QRA, consequence modelling, safety case updates/thorough reviews and ALARP justifications.

If you're an experienced technical safety professional and have a passion for safety, we'd love to hear from you. This is an excellent opportunity to take your career to the next level in a challenging and rewarding environment and help to shape the future of the offshore industry towards net zero.
