Rondo is accelerating industry's transition to lower-cost, zero-carbon heat and power.
Key Responsibilities
BS in chemical, mechanical, process, or related engineering; ~10–15+ years of process/process-safety engineering experience with a demonstrated record independently facilitating full HAZOP/PHA studies
Multi-site or international process safety experience; working command of PSM elements (PHA, PSSR, PSI, MI interface, incident investigation); willingness to travel internationally (est. 25–40%)
Ability to apply hazard-evaluation and risk-ranking methods (HAZID, HAZOP, what-if, LOPA) and translate findings into risk-based, prioritized recommendations
Knowledge of process safety hazards specific to thermal energy storage — high-temperature stored thermal energy, high-voltage/arc-flash, pressure/steam systems, and stored-energy isolation
Ability to apply functional safety lifecycle practice (IEC 61511; SIF/SIL determination and verification) and select and justify appropriate RAGAGEP
Ability to evaluate program effectiveness using process safety leading and lagging indicators (e.g., API 754-style tiered metrics), audit findings, and global action-closure data
Ability to harmonize multi-jurisdiction regulatory and corporate requirements into a single global standard with defensible local adaptation, rather than running disconnected per-site programs
Track record of independently challenging designs and operating plans on a risk basis, including the authority to flag and halt unacceptable risk — without being the author of the controls under review
Experience leading cross-functional hazard-evaluation teams across cultures and time zones; ability to drive consensus on risk and safeguards in geographically distributed settings
Ability to prioritize the highest-risk processes and overdue safety-critical actions for resources and attention globally
Strong ability to influence and escalate across line and leadership without direct authority; experience mentoring engineers and serving as a principal technical reviewer
