Safety and Systems Assurance Specialist

An opportunity is available for a Safety and Systems Assurance Specialist to support the delivery of safe, reliable and compliant systems across complex projects. This role will involve working with engineering, operations, project and maintenance teams to ensure that safety requirements are clearly defined, appropriately managed and demonstrably achieved throughout the system lifecycle.

You will contribute to the development and review of safety plans, assurance cases, hazard analyses and verification evidence. The role requires a methodical approach to identifying risks, assessing their potential impact and ensuring that effective controls are implemented and maintained. You will also provide constructive challenge, technical guidance and clear reporting to support sound decision-making.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain and review safety management and systems assurance documentation.
  • Lead or support hazard identification, risk assessment and risk management activities.
  • Assess system requirements, safety arguments, assurance evidence and compliance records.
  • Plan and coordinate assurance activities, including audits, reviews, inspections and verification.
  • Monitor the resolution of safety actions, non-conformances, incidents and identified risks.
  • Work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, suppliers and technical specialists.
  • Prepare accurate reports, presentations and recommendations for project and senior management.
  • Promote a positive safety culture and encourage consistent application of relevant processes.

About you

You will have experience in systems safety, safety assurance, engineering assurance, operational risk or a closely related discipline. A good understanding of structured safety management processes, systems engineering principles and lifecycle assurance is essential. Experience of working within regulated, safety-critical or technically complex environments would be highly advantageous.

You should be confident analysing detailed technical information, questioning assumptions and communicating findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are important. A relevant degree or professional qualification, together with membership of an appropriate professional body, would be desirable.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the safety, performance and continual improvement of major systems and projects.
