Process Safety Engineer, Kempen region

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

At Prohead Engineering, we specialise in:

• Chemical process technology and process safety;
• E&I and functional safety;
• Machine safety
• High-risk utilities;

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 (5-15) projects at the same time, together with (more) experienced colleagues, draughtsmen and top experts. We normally do this from our beautiful offices (and inner garden) in Meerbeke (no outsourcing). We want to develop a similar knowledge centre in the Kempen region.

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

This makes our job important, varied, challenging and instructive. As a result, you get more development opportunities, and we are proud of that.
