Location: Any Safeguard Engineering office, with flexible home working
Employment Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week
Who are we looking for?
Safeguard Engineering have a number of ongoing safety activities within the Defence industry, predominantly in the UK, as follows:
* WOME ship integration threat hazard assessment
* MOD Ship magazine material assessment surveys
* MOD Ship Explosives Safety Certification
* DSEAR / ATEX assessment and review
We are therefore looking for a person with a military, defence and/or consultancy background, ideally with several years’ relevant experience providing technical support and/or engineering management in this specialist area.
The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of safety management within these technical areas, and be familiar with the relevant regulations and standards including DSA03-OME and Def-Stan 00-56.
You should have suitable professional qualifications and ideally be a member of an appropriate professional institution, noting we are happy to consider equivalences for the right candidate.
A proven track record in supporting business development activities would be desirable but not essential.
You will have a smart, professional approach and will be able to fit quickly into a growing, flexible team. You’ll need to provide clients with a high level of assurance that they are being supported by a professional, responsible and caring consultancy. Excellent communication skills and a high standard of English and grammar, supported with a sound technical engineering background, will be required. You will need to be highly effective in organising your own time and workload, especially when working from home.
Due to the nature of the work, you must be able to obtain UK security clearance.
What will you be doing?
The primary role of the successful candidate will be to assist with the development of MOD Ship explosives safety management programmes, core explosives safety activities and Explosives Safety Cases on behalf of MOD clients. Explosives/WOME Safety Management tasks could include (but not be limited to):
* The development and production of Explosives Safety Cases
* Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) and Structured What If Technique (SWIFT) analysis
* Threat Hazard Risk Assessment and Hazard Sentencing
* Organisation, preparation and attendance at client meetings
* The drafting of technical reports
* Material state surveys to report on MOD Ship compliance to regulation/standards
* Compliance and implementation of work in accordance with the Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001)
You will also be expected to be involved within Business Development and Marketing activities to further develop Safeguard Engineering’s customer base and technical capabilities.
Regular visits will be required to our various offices and to contractor and customer sites further afield within the UK and potentially abroad.
What you can expect from us:
In addition to a basic salary in the range of £40,000 to £45,000 gross per annum we also offer:
* An opportunity to join a friendly, welcoming team
* We encourage all staff to be a member of an appropriate professional institution and will cover institution membership costs
* Extensive training, covering core consultancy skills and technical professional development
* Flexible, hybrid working
* An annual bonus, after a year’s service, depending on personal performance and company profits
* Company Pension Scheme
* Private Medical Insurance as an optional benefit (after probation period)
