Developing into Process Safety Engineer

Cheshire, North West | Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits

Are you a Process Engineer passionate about safety and ready to shape your future?
Imagine joining a nationally significant, high-hazard manufacturing site - and being supported to become a specialist Process Safety Engineer, even if you've never worked on a COMAH site before.

This is your chance to make a real difference, grow your expertise, and build a career in process safety that few roles can match.

Why this role is different:

You don't need COMAH experience - if you bring the right attitude, curiosity, and drive to learn, we'll invest in you.

We'll support you to gain industry-recognised HSE and process safety qualifications (such as NEBOSH and specialist process safety training).

You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas matter, on a site where safety is at the heart of every decision.

You'll take on meaningful projects that protect people, the environment, and the business - and see the real impact of your work.

What you'll do:

Lead and support projects to continuously improve process safety and reduce risk.

Learn and apply tools like HAZOPs, LOPA, SIL assessments, and dispersion modelling.

Work directly with UK regulators (HSE, EA) to help protect the site's licence to operate.

Get involved in emergency planning, alarm management, and human factors work.

Partner with senior stakeholders and industry forums to champion best practices.

What we're really looking for:

A process engineering background (ideally Chartered, or working towards it).

A genuine interest in process safety and protecting people and the environment.

Strong communication skills - able to coach, influence, and collaborate.

Most importantly: a positive, proactive attitude and eagerness to learn - even without prior COMAH experience.

Grow your career with us:

Develop into a specialist Process Safety Engineer, supported every step of the way.

Gain fully funded professional qualifications to strengthen your HSE knowledge.

Join a top-tier COMAH site where no two days are the same - and where your work truly matters.

Benefits include:

Salary up to £65,000

Up to 11% company pension contribution

10% discretionary annual bonus

Life assurance

Free on-site gym

Optional extra 5 days holiday or 2% salary uplift annually

If you want more than just another engineering job - and you're excited to grow into process safety, whatever your background - we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and take the first step towards becoming a specialist Process Safety Engineer.

If you'd also like, I can help write a short LinkedIn post, a candidate briefing document, or a branded visual to share. Just let me know!

At Morgan Ryder we can provide you with a full range of employment opportunities from short term and fixed term temporary vacancies to permanent positions.

We recruit for companies that operate in the following industries: Defence Equipment, Food and Drink Manufacturers, FMCG, Packaging, Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Warehousing, Logistics, Waste Management, Petro Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Power & Renewable Energy.

Our commitment:

Equal opportunities are important to us.

We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, ethnicity, belief, age, family or parental status, and any other characteristic.

The Future of Biotechnology Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Biotechnology is one of the most transformative sectors of the 21st century. It sits at the intersection of biology, technology, and engineering, and is already reshaping healthcare, agriculture, and industry. In the UK, biotechnology contributes billions to the economy, with innovation clusters in Cambridge, Oxford, London, and Manchester producing world-leading breakthroughs in genomics, cell therapies, and synthetic biology. But what we see today is just the beginning. Advances in gene editing, biomanufacturing, AI-driven drug discovery, and personalised medicine are accelerating so quickly that many of the most important biotechnology careers of the future don’t even exist yet. Just as jobs like “social media manager” or “cloud architect” would have been unimaginable twenty years ago, biotechnology is creating new professions at a speed that outpaces current education and training frameworks. This article explores the future of biotechnology jobs, the types of careers that don’t yet exist, why they are emerging, and how the UK workforce can prepare.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Biotechnology Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's biotechnology sector has evolved into one of Europe's most dynamic and lucrative career markets, with roles spanning from laboratory research to regulatory affairs and bioprocessing engineering. With biotech positions commanding salaries ranging from £28,000 for entry-level research associates to £95,000+ for senior directors, understanding when companies actively recruit can significantly enhance your job search success. Unlike traditional industries, biotechnology hiring follows distinct seasonal patterns driven by research funding cycles, regulatory submission deadlines, and academic collaboration timelines. The sector's unique blend of scientific rigour, commercial pressure, and regulatory oversight creates predictable hiring windows that savvy professionals can leverage to advance their careers. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for biotechnology job applications in the UK, examining how funding announcements, clinical trial phases, and academic calendars influence when companies expand their teams and why strategic timing can make the difference between landing your ideal role and missing the opportunity entirely.

Pre-Employment Checks for Biotechnology Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

However, securing a position in this highly regulated and security-conscious industry involves comprehensive pre-employment screening that goes far beyond typical recruitment processes. Whether you're a research scientist, bioprocess engineer, regulatory affairs specialist, or clinical trial manager, understanding the extensive vetting requirements is essential for successfully navigating your career in biotechnology. This comprehensive guide explores the various background checks and screening processes you'll encounter when applying for biotech positions in the UK, from basic eligibility verification to stringent security and regulatory compliance assessments.
