Overview
A major global pharmaceutical manufacturer is building a state-of-the-art Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) facility in Dublin. This strategically important site will accelerate commercial product launches and deliver sustainable, high-performance API manufacturing using both batch and continuous processes.
We are currently seeking a Process Safety Manager to lead the process safety strategy and systems for the new site. This is a unique opportunity to influence the design and long-term operation of a world-class pharmaceutical facility from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as the primary point of contact for all process safety elements of the new API facility.
* Provide technical leadership during design and construction, ensuring all systems meet safety, operability, and regulatory standards.
* Contribute to and review URS, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and conduct PHAs using various methodologies.
* Lead the development and implementation of a comprehensive Process Safety Management System, including emergency response planning, KPI definition, change management, and compliance tracking.
* Manage the site's COMAH/SEVESO compliance, including engagement with external regulatory bodies.
* Ensure integration of the process safety system with the existing EHS framework of nearby pharmaceutical operations on campus.
* Develop and deliver training programs for staff and ensure continuous safety culture development.
* Provide assurance on major accident risk controls and develop relevant documentation such as the Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP).
* Offer ongoing technical oversight for all process safety aspects during commissioning, validation, and routine operations.
Requirements
* Degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline (PhD or MSc desirable).
* Extensive experience in process safety within the pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing industries.
* Strong technical background in safety systems, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance (e.g., COMAH/SEVESO, ATEX, Human Factors).
* Proven track record of leading or heavily contributing to the setup of greenfield or expansion API/process facilities.
* Familiarity with consequence modelling tools such as PHAST or ALOHA.
* Understanding of hazardous area classification, explosion protection, and emergency preparedness planning.
* Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation, and cross-functional leadership skills.
* Ability to translate complex safety data into actionable insights for operations and engineering teams.
Preferred Skills
* Strong background in maths, chemistry, or applied sciences.
* Working knowledge of cGMP, SHE regulations, and safety systems within highly regulated environments.
* Proficient in tools such as MS Office, and experience with process simulation or safety modelling software.
* Experience integrating safety systems across complex, multi-building operations (e.g., manufacturing, warehousing, emissions abatement, QC labs).
What’s on Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* Opportunity to shape the safety culture and systems of a brand-new, high-impact pharmaceutical site.
* A collaborative and innovation-driven work environment committed to long-term sustainability, operational excellence, and patient outcomes.
