Summary

I am a Senior Process Engineer who is a highly skilled professional with extensive expertise in Oil and gas offshore operators, Renewable energy industry and High hazard industry that includes writing/reviewing FEED reports, producing P&IDs using AutoCAD, Equipment and line sizing and attending HAZOP meetings explaining these P&IDs (Process safety and HAZID).

Experienced in working for operators and as consultant in an EPC environment fostering effective communication with the team (mentoring junior process engineers) and stakeholders to aid business growth, achieve project progress and to ensure the operator meets the compliance requirements.

Hence, I am proficient in engineering simulation tools such as HYSYS simulation, Pipesim, PRO II and Gennet, consequent modelling (PHAST, MEM, GASP) and spreadsheets, by using my enthousiasm and technical skills to drive innovation and efficiency in various engineering projects.

Reviewing many COMAH safety reports (more than 10 years) has contributed to my in -depth experience and thorough understanding related to LOPA, SIL determination, HAZID, HAZOP, PHR and QRA and other risk assessments.

Work history

HSE Specialist Risk Assessor

Health and Safety Executive
Liverpool, UK
09.2015 - 07.2025
  • Provide advice to the High Hazard industry (related to their COMAH Safety Reports)and my contribution and effective communication led to:
    o Duty holders having a better understanding of the Major Accident Hazard identification (HAZOP, HAZID, PHR, LOPA, SIL determination),
    o Consultants and Duty holders presenting a better Scenario Analysis (Consequence modelling e.g. PHAST, TNO Multi-energy model, QRA/semi-QRA Risk Assessment (e.g. Individual risk, Societal Risk, Risk Matrices).
    o Duty holders identifying and implementing further Risk Reduction Measures and demonstrate ALARP. My input led to various Duty Holders meeting the COMAH regulations and applying inherent safer design.
  • Carry out risk assessments and site inspections on COMAH sites (Refineries, Oil terminals and Chemical sites). My input significantly reduced the risk to people and environment and prevented accidents.
  • Provide advice and guidance to manage risk (Hazardous Substance Consent applications). My input reduced the risks to members of the public and environment and increased duty holder satisfaction by providing specialised advice.
  • Investigate fatal accidents on chemical sites. My input convinced duty holders to enhanced their process safety management system and establish effective communication between management and operators (safety culture).
