Overview: NES Fircroft is proudly partnering with a world-leading independent Oil & Gas company to find skilled Technical Safety Engineers at all levels for their growing QSHE team in Norwich. This long-term opportunity offers competitive earnings (£50,000 – £66,000 p.a. estimated) and includes both staff (with excellent benefits, relocation, sponsorship) and contract options.
About the Opportunity:
- Join a dynamic QSHE team supporting the safe and efficient operation of offshore assets within the Southern North Sea.
- Act as an internal expert, ensuring compliance with UK regulations and shaping best practices across the business.
- This role is pivotal in upholding the client’s strong reputation for innovation and safety.
Your Essential Expertise:
- Consequence Modelling is Non-Negotiable: A critical aspect of this role is hands-on experience with consequence modelling tools such as PHAST (and ideally FLARESIM). All modelling is performed in-house, so this skill is fundamental to hit the ground running.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Leading and facilitating critical safety studies (HAZID, ALARP, Bowtie, Total Risk Management).
- Developing and maintaining Barrier Diagrams and risk visualisation tools.
- Conducting detailed consequence modelling using PHAST and FLARESIM.
- Performing mini Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRAs) via event and fault trees.
- Executing Hazardous Area Classification and Fire & Explosion Risk Assessments (FERAs).
- Contributing to Safety Case amendments and 5-Year Thorough Reviews.
- Applying knowledge of COMAH regulations and, ideally, CFD tools.

What We’re Seeking:
- A degree in Process Safety, Chemical, or Mechanical Engineering (or a closely related discipline).
- Demonstrable, hands-on experience with PHAST and other consequence modelling software is crucial.
- Proficiency with tools like BowTie XP, PHA-Pro, and FLARESIM.
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
- Highly organised, analytical mindset, and confident in making technical decisions.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Impactful Projects: Work on significant onshore and offshore projects across the UKCS.
- Company Culture: Join a company renowned for its technical depth, innovation, and unwavering commitment to safety.
- Flexibility: Opportunities for both long-term staff employment (with excellent benefits, including relocation support and visa sponsorship) and contract engagements.
