Senior HSE Engineer

1) Compliance & Governance

• Ensure adherence to Egyptian laws and regulations (e.g., environmental permits, hazardous substances, civil defense/fire codes, labor law) and local authority/site licensing requirements.

• Maintain and improve ISO 45001 (OHSMS) and ISO 14001 (EMS) management systems; lead internal audits, corrective actions, and surveillance/recertification preparations.

• Develop, review, and roll out HSE policies, procedures, SOPs, and permit‑to‑work systems across all retail sites.

2) Risk Management & Process Safety (Retail Focus)

• Conduct and update risk assessments (HIRA/JSA), bow‑ties, and job safety analyses for fueling, tanker offloading, tank gauging, confined space entry, hot works, and working at height.

• Lead process safety controls for storage tanks, piping, dispensers, vapor recovery, pressure relief, and electrical bonding/earthing; verify integrity through inspections and testing.

• Implement and monitor contractor HSE requirements (pre‑qualification, onboarding, method statements, tool‑box talks, supervision).

3) Site Assurance & Inspections

• Plan and perform station audits/inspections (housekeeping, ATEX/EX equipment, emergency equipment, signage, spill kits, firefighting systems, separators).

• Track actions to closure; report trends and recommend engineering and behavioral controls.

• Verify tanker fleet compliance (ADR-equivalent practices, driver competence, defensive driving, spill prevention).

4) Incident Prevention, Reporting & Learning

• Lead incident/near‑miss investigations using root cause techniques (5‑Why, ICAM, TapRooT® style), issue reports, and drive corrective/preventive actions.

• Champion HSE reporting pyramid/iceberg concepts to boost near‑miss, hazard observation, and unsafe condition reporting and learning (REX).

• Manage statutory emergency response arrangements, drills, and coordination with local authorities and Civil Defense.

5) Training, Culture & Engagement

• Deliver and track HSE training (induction, PTW, LOTO, confined space, working at height, spill response, fire warden, manual handling).

• Coach site managers/dealers and supervisors on behavior-based safety, leadership walkdowns, and toolbox talks.

• Lead campaigns (heat stress, driving safety, slips/trips/falls) and Safety Days.

6) Environment & Sustainability

• Oversee spill prevention and response, waste management, water/oil separator maintenance, and air emissions (vapor recovery).

• Monitor utilities, fuel losses, and product variance; support leak detection, tank tightness testing, and remediation.

• Track environmental KPIs and statutory reporting; support sustainability initiatives (energy efficiency, solar, EV/CNG expansion).

7) Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain HSE dashboards (LTIFR, TRIR, near‑miss rate, audit closure rate, training completion).

• Present monthly HSE reports to management; recommend risk‑based investments and CAPEX for safety improvements.

• Digitize HSE workflows (inspection checklists, incident reporting, action tracking) where possible.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Petroleum, or HSE).

• 5–7+ years of progressive HSE experience, with at least 3–5 years in petroleum retail/fuel depots/CNG/LPG or equivalent high‑risk operations.

• Certifications: NEBOSH IGC (minimum); ISO 45001 Lead Auditor and/or ISO 14001 Lead Auditor preferred; OSHA/IOSH an advantage.

• Demonstrated experience with incident investigations, risk assessments, contractor HSE, and emergency response.

• Strong knowledge of Egyptian regulatory requirements and international best practices (NFPA/API/IECEx/ATEX concepts applicable to retail).

• Fluent English; strong report writing and presentation skills.
