Principal Designer - Energy Transition Projects (Offshore Wind, Process, Oil, Gas, Renewables & Hydrogen)
Are you an experienced safety professional from a highly regulated industry such as Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Defence, Offshore Wind, or Renewable Energy? Do you have a deep understanding of risk management across the full lifecycle of complex assets? If so, we want to hear from you.
We are seeking a Principal Designer (PD) to support Energy Transition projects. Unlike traditional built environment projects, where risks diminish post-construction, these assets carry significant risk profiles throughout their lifecycle. As a result, we require a PD with a structured safety background who can apply robust risk management methodologies akin to a safety case approach.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Lead the Principal Designer function, ensuring compliance with CDM regulations and best practices from regulated industries.
2. Develop and implement risk management strategies that address hazards beyond construction into operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
3. Collaborate with designers, engineers, and project teams to integrate safety principles from concept to completion.
4. Apply risk assessment tools and techniques tailored to high-hazard environments.
5. Ensure rigorous safety governance and a structured approach to risk mitigation throughout the project lifecycle.
What We're Looking For:
1. Proven experience in a highly regulated industry (Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Wind, Defence, Transport, etc.).
2. Strong knowledge of safety-critical risk management and lifecycle hazard identification.
3. Expertise in safety case principles (even if not explicitly titled as such).
4. Familiarity with CDM regulations and experience delivering PD responsibilities in complex environments.
5. Ability to challenge and influence stakeholders to drive a robust safety culture.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in the future of sustainable energy while applying best practices from regulated, high-hazard industries. If you have the expertise to bridge the gap between structured safety regimes and emerging energy technologies, we'd love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
