Electromechanical Technical Safety Engineer

Prohead Engineering delivers excellent multidisciplinary engineering services for a high-performance and safe industry.

At Prohead Engineering, we specialise in:

• Electromechanical production lines, automation and machine compliance;
• Chemical process technology and process safety;
• Utilities and energy markets;

Prohead Engineering is a growing company where your development is central. We work on our projects together, because their innovative and complex nature requires depth. As a result, everyone works on several (5-10) projects at the same time, together with (more) experienced colleagues, draughtsmen and top experts. We do all this from our beautiful offices (and inner garden) in Meerbeke (no outsourcing).

Moreover, our clients are diverse: manufacturing, machine builders, food, pharma, (petro)chemicals, Seveso companies, metallurgy, … mostly large players with high-risk processes where top-level engineering is a requirement.

• Working on the engineering of complex industrial installations, machines and production lines and their safety control systems.
• Carrying out in-depth analyses of existing installations and production lines to make them better and safer.
• Applying your automation knowledge to verify, re-engineer and validate (safety) control systems.
• Working with performance levels, shutdown matrices, cable calculations, mechanics, pneumatics and hydraulics, together with your colleagues and professional software.
• Working with a team of experts, so you never face a challenge alone and can always rely on colleagues with in-depth knowledge.
• If you have sufficient experience, passing on your knowledge to younger colleagues and helping them grow in the field.
• Contributing to the development of inherent safety, optimising complex systems in line with the latest standards and legislation.
• Applying or getting to know standards and regulations such as EN ISO 13849-1/2, EN 60204-1, EN ISO 12100:2010, ISO/TR 14121-2:2012 and IEC 61511, etc.
• Working with clients from various sectors: large petrochemical companies, international manufacturing, machine builders and food companies.

• Master's degree (Ing./ir.) in Electromechanical / Mechanical / Electrical Engineering;
• Eager to learn, analytical and accurate – you get to the bottom of complex systems and find structured solutions.
• Familiar with automation and/or experience with functional safety and technical analyses.
• Interested in applying and deepening your knowledge of technical safety standards and directives. 
• Junior with a few years of experience or senior – we have challenging projects tailored to your experience.
• You speak Dutch (level B2 or higher)

• Depth & variety – Safety engineering is found in all industrial sectors, so you are constantly learning and facing new challenges.
• Teamwork & knowledge sharing – You learn from experienced experts and work together on challenging projects.
• Structured engineering approach – We work methodically and efficiently on safe solutions for complex installations.
• Personal development – You get the opportunity to specialise in machine safety, functional safety, the new Machinery Regulation and OT cybersecurity.
• International opportunities – From time to time you will work on site visits, FAT and SAT, with optional travel abroad.
• Synergy with process engineering – You work with process engineers on installations involving process risks, chemical process control (BPCS) and functional safety (SIS/SIF/SIL).
• CE certification & compliance – You help clients achieve conformity and risk reduction within a broad technical framework.
