Process Safety Compliance:

  • Represent bp at the API Refining Process Safety Group to provide oversight of the API practices related to PS, and feedback to federal regulators on pending regulatory rule-making activities.
  • Provide internal leadership and guidance on the US OSHA PS Management (PSM) and EPA Risk Management Program (RMP) regulations
  • Provide impact assessments to affected businesses of pending revisions to key PS regulations.

Direct business operations support:

  • Support the development and implementation of internal bp initiatives to improve PS performance
  • Respond to queries for clarification on PS metrics
  • Support investigations of major PS incidents as needed
  • Provide coaching and mentoring PS practitioners throughout the business.
Essential Experience and Job Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical, Mechanical or relevant technical discipline.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in a similar role.

Essential Capabilities:

  • Knowledge of industry practices related to PS and their use
  • Knowledge of industry regulations related to PS (such as OSHA's PSM and the EPA's RMP regulations)
  • Ability to collaborate and deliver as a member of a team
  • Ability to influence others without formal authority
  • Ability to develop pragmatic and compliant solutions to sophisticated problems
  • Ability to build enduring capability by coaching and mentoring.

Desirable Capabilities:

  • Specialist knowledge in the development or application of PS practices
  • Licensed Professional Engineer or willingness to pursue this recognition (or equivalent)
  • Practical experience working at an operational site with an understanding of how functional decisions impact the frontline
  • Knowledge of PS concerns across the breadth of industry (downstream, upstream, retail/marketing, and the new low-carbon fields ie: biofuels and hydrogen businesses).
