• Safety Culture: Ensure strict adherence to HSE instructions in a High Tier Seveso classified environment, within a framework compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards.

• Risk Analysis: Contribute to process safety studies, particularly HAZOP analyses, accident and near-miss analyses, and the consideration of ATEX and dust-related risks.

• Practice Improvement: Identify hazardous situations and participate in implementing preventive measures.

What we offer you

• A first responsible position on cutting-edge technologies, at the heart of the energy transition and sustainable mobility.

• Complete immersion within an innovative and rapidly growing industrial site.

• Close support from an experienced Process Product Engineer, fostering progressive skill development.

• Concrete missions combining technical expertise, continuous improvement, and collaboration with field teams.

• A real opportunity to contribute to the ramp-up and performance of a strategic industrial tool.

👤 Profile Sought

• Engineering degree or Bac+5 university degree in process engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, materials, or equivalent field.

• First experience in an industrial environment appreciated, including internships, work-study programs, or final year projects.

• Strong interest in field operations, data analysis, and technical problem-solving.

• Knowledge of continuous improvement tools and key industrial performance indicators.

• Rigor, curiosity, autonomy, and ability to work with diverse stakeholders.

• Strong awareness of industrial and environmental safety issues.

All applications will be reviewed based on skills, qualifications, and experience, in accordance with the principle of equal treatment.
