Function: Senior Safety Engineer - Permitting & Environmental
Location: The Hague
Start date: 01 Jul 2026
Duration: Approx. 1 year, with option to become staff
 
Description
About the Role
At Worley, we believe that the real value of permitting lies not at the end of a project but at the very beginning.
By fully integrating regulatory compliance and permitting into our engineering processes, we ensure that requirements, constraints, and risks are addressed early. This proactive and embedded approach reduces redesign, prevents delays, and creates a smoother, more predictable path to permit approval.
As a Senior Safety Engineer – Permitting & Environmental, you will play a key role in delivering this integrated approach. You will work at the interface of engineering and regulation, helping our clients navigate complex permitting landscapes while enabling efficient and compliant project delivery.
What You’ll Do
  • Lead regulatory compliance, permitting and environmental activities across multidisciplinary engineering projects
  • Integrate permitting requirements into early design phases (concept, FEED, detailed design) to avoid late-stage risks
  • Manage and coordinate Dutch environmental permitting processes, including authority engagement
  • Provide expertise on:
    • Environmental regulations and compliance
    • Emissions to air, soil, and water
    • EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) deliverables
    • BAT/BREF and regulatory frameworks
  • Act as the key interface between engineering teams, clients, and regulatory authorities
  • Identify permitting risks early and implement practical, cost-effective solutions
  • Support project delivery by managing scope, schedule, and budgets for your discipline
  • Contribute to continuous improvement by applying innovative tools, methods, and digital solutions
 
Experience Qualifications:
What You Bring
  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Strong experience in regulatory compliance, permitting, or Safety Engineering, preferably in the (petro-)chemical or industrial sector
  • Solid knowledge of:
    • Dutch permitting frameworks (e.g. Omgevingswet, Activiteitenbesluit)
    • PGS guidelines and environmental legislation
    • EIA processes and environmental assessments
  • Experience embedding regulatory requirements into engineering design processes
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary and international teams
Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified individuals will receive consideration for employment without regard to race; color; age; sex; sexual orientation; gender identity; religion; national origin; disability; veteran status; genetic information; or any other criteria protected by governing law.
