Process Safety Engineer

Antora Energy delivers affordable, reliable energy to industry, data centers, and the grid. Our thermal batteries turn low-cost electricity into always-on heat and power, without supply-constrained critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.

We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and work with humility and openness. We are committed to building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.

Position Summary

The Process Safety Engineer will build and lead Antora’s process safety program — a fit-for-purpose adaptation of PSM and RMP best practices that adds value and reduces risk across Antora’s thermal energy storage facilities which are not formally covered by OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) or EPA RMP (40 CFR Part 68). This role is the process safety subject matter expert on the EH&S team, partnering with engineering, operations, and R&D to embed process safety into how Antora designs, builds, starts up, and operates its facilities. The role will own the core process safety elements — process hazard analysis, management of change, pre-startup safety review, operating procedures, and process safety information — and represent EH&S in design reviews and PHAs. Over time, this role is also expected to grow Antora’s emergency response and Incident Command System (ICS) capability across our facilities.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Build and lead a fit-for-purpose process safety program that adapts the intent of OSHA PSM and EPA RMP to Antora’s specific hazards and scale, prioritizing the elements that deliver real risk reduction over processes implemented for its own sake.
• Facilitate and document process hazard analyses using appropriate methods — HAZOP, What-If, What-If/Checklist, and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) — and drive the resulting recommendations to closure.
• Represent EH&S in engineering design reviews, reading and marking up P&IDs and process design documentation to identify and address hazards early, when they are cheapest to resolve.
• Own and mature the Management of Change (MOC) process so that changes to equipment, chemicals, technology, procedures, and facilities are evaluated for process safety impact before implementation.
• Establish effective Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) processes to verify that new and modified installations are safe to start up.
• Design the framework for maintaining process safety information (PSI) — chemical hazard data, process chemistry and technology, and equipment design basis — and partner with operations to build clear, accurate operating procedures.
• Support mechanical integrity, incident investigation, and process safety–related training as the program matures.
