Project Engineer - TPS

Description

The Project Engineer – Total Process Safety (TPS) will play a key role in advancing the company’s engineering and safety excellence within its biogas manufacturing operations. During the first six (6) months, the position will focus on implementing the Total Process Safety (TPS) framework — developing systems, safety inspections, tools, and procedures that ensure safe, reliable, and compliant operation of biogas production and upgrading facilities. Following the initial implementation phase, the role will transition into a Project Engineer position, leading and supporting capital projects from design through commissioning, while maintaining strong integration of process safety principles in all project phases. This position will report to the Engineering Manager.

• Implement procedures for functional testing, alarm and trip verification, and bypass/override management
• Ensure process safety integration in all project stages—from concept to startup
• Work with the external engineering partners to complete sites inspections of Safety Critical Devices, electrical systems and gas pressure systems
• Establish process safety performance metrics (leading and lagging indicators)
• Work with operations and maintenance teams to embed safe operating practices, ensuring clear accountability for process safety controls
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (process, mechanical, electrical, controls, and operations) to achieve safe and efficient project outcomes
• Support training and awareness activities related to process safety systems and TPS principles
• Lead the rollout of the TPS technical assessments within operations and engineering teams
• Plan, execute, and deliver capital and improvement projects related to biogas production, upgrading, and utilities systems
• Develop and maintain Safety Critical Element (SCE) and Safety Critical Device (SCD) registers derived from HAZOP/PHA studies
• Coordinate FEED, detailed design, procurement, construction, and commissioning activities
• Support and facilitate HAZOP, LOPA, and risk assessment workshops for existing and new systems
• Manage contractors, vendors, and third-party service providers to meet project objectives on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with standards
• Support project documentation, design reviews, management of change (MOC), and pre-startup safety reviews (PSSR)
• Prepare engineering design packages, including scopes of work, P&IDs, datasheets, and cost estimates

Requirements

• Strong understanding of Process Safety Management (PSM) and functional safety
• Strong organizational and communication skills; ability to collaborate across teams
• Demonstrated commitment to safety-first culture
• 3–7 years of relevant experience in engineering, operations, or process safety in industrial or energy sectors (biogas, oil & gas, or chemical processing preferred)
• Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering
• Project management experience or certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) (preferred)
• Experience in biogas, renewable energy, or anaerobic digestion operations (preferred)
• Solid knowledge of plant instrumentation, control systems, and process operations
• Experience participating in or leading HAZOPs and risk assessments
• Knowledge of environmental and regulatory frameworks (EPA, OSHA, COMAH, ATEX, etc.) (preferred)

Benefits

• Opportunity to build upon your career in a company on the cutting edge of the RNG industry
