Job Description
Are you ready to take the next step in your scientific career? If so, Syngenta can help you make it.
We are currently looking for a Process Engineer to join Process Hazards Section in Huddersfield as a Process Safety Specialist. As a member of the team, you will play a key role in the development and continued operation of safe manufacturing processes, with a specific focus on flammability risks and controls. You will be part of a diverse, global team carrying out business-critical and long-term cross-disciplinary strategic projects. You will also liaise with our partners, ensuring studies are completed to expected turnaround times, with opportunities to further grow and develop your career with us.
Your primary responsibilities will be to provide knowledge and direction in process safety, specifically regarding the flammability hazards of powders & liquids in batch chemical operations, to support both Syngenta’s new product development and established global manufacturing. You will also be able to contribute to the development of novel technologies and approaches relating to flammability risks and controls, and provide training and coaching in process safety to colleagues throughout the region.

o Either already a Chartered Engineer or ready to become chartered within 12-24 months
o Experience of Process Risk Assessment techniques (e.g. HAZOP) in the context of batch chemical processing.

* The opportunity to make a difference to process safety, both within Syngenta’s global operations, and in shaping safety legislation and culture worldwide
* Specialist technical coaching in your new role by a team of world-leading experts
* Strong support for your continued development, both technical & personal
* An open and pleasant working environment as part of a global group, with contacts worldwide and across industry
Whilst this role offers a competitive base pay, at Syngenta we value total reward which includes the additional benefits we offer to our employees such as flexible working, generous holiday entitlement (up to 31.5 days), and competitive bonus and pension schemes.
