Safety Engineer

I am working with a client who has a great opportunity for a Safety Engineer to join them for an initial 12 month contract.

Role: Safety Engineer
Location: Stevenage (preferred) or Bristol
Hours: Full time (Monday – Friday – 37 hours p/week)
Salary: £60 per hour Umbrella (inside IR35)
Clearance: SC needs to be held prior to starting

You will exploit your safety engineering skills to influence the safety aspects of one of their technically complex products.
This will involve optimising the effort devoted to safety assurance, with the goal of balancing safety against the inherently lethal attributes required of complex weapon systems.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver the safety analysis and assurance that will enable one of our products to be integrated onto a small range of platforms.
• This will involve working closely with internal delivery teams, as well as UK and non-UK customers.
• Liaising with key stakeholders (external customers, the platform authorities and internal stakeholders) to help define the safety boundary for the development of business safety claims
• Take a leading role in the production and evolution of the associated Safety Management Plans and delivery of the required safety analyses.
• The main emphasis will be on ensuring that the available evidence fulfils the need and, if gaps are identified, defining suitable mitigations.

Experience required:

• Hazard identification exercises (such as SWIFT and HAZOP);
• Hazard management and risk analysis, including functional failure, fault tree and event tree analyses
• Thorough understanding and experience of how the hazard analysis process integrates with the system engineering process to influence the design.
• Construction of safety arguments and their contribution to ALARP statements and authoring of Safety Cased Reports
• Provision of support to internal and external project Safety Panels and Committees
• Liaising with other functions to derive safety requirements and hazards
• Working with systems teams to demonstrate satisfaction of safety requirements
• Understanding of DEF-STAN 00-056 (and, ideally, other similar international standards), including the ability to define and write Safety Management Plans that meet its requirements
• Good verbal, written communications analytical and problem solving skills.
• Track record as an effective team player with strong interpersonal and influencing skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary / multi-national team.

Desirable:

• Detailed electronic engineering experience is highly desirable (education to degree or HND level or a comparable level of experience is preferred).
• Experience of other engineering disciplines (especially software) is also desirable.
• IEC 61508/DO178C/DO-254 experience
