Safety Manager
Location: Stevenage
Salary: Up to £70,000
Are you a Safety Manager, looking to take on the challenge of shaping safety practices in cutting-edge products? If so, here's your chance to join a team where your skills will be valued, your impact will be tangible, and your growth opportunities are endless.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Safety Manager to manage the delivery of safety engineering outputs across multiple projects by developing and supporting safety engineers with varying levels of experience. Working within a matrix organisation structure, you will be accountable to the Chief Systems Engineer of each project and the Department Head of Safety and Reliability.
Your role will involve liaising with design engineers, project controllers, customers and other stakeholders to ensure on-time delivery of high-quality Hazard Analyses, Safety Case Reports and other safety engineering outputs, including your own. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer to exploit their leadership skills to influence the safety aspects of technically sophisticated and exciting products using a range of techniques and approaches.
By understanding the system and its operating context, you will decide what type of evidence will most cost-effectively show that the identified hazards have been mitigated to the customer’s satisfaction. This role is about balancing time and cost constraints to ensure that a convincing safety case, comprising appropriate evidence, is constructed. It calls for pragmatism and a solid appreciation that safety results from good engineering, not just compliance with numerical targets. This will involve optimising the effort devoted to safety assurance.
