  • Uncontrolled reactions;
  • Process upsets;
  • Operating errors;
  • Mechanical equipment failures;
  • Improper equipment venting or pressure/vacuum relief;
  • Poor housekeeping,
• Is familiar with the main techniques and tools and to determine the likelihood and magnitude of the consequences scenarios, and has the technical background for the identification and the engineering of the relevant prevention and mitigation measures.
• The DS&TR Senior Engineer supports the Technical (Engineering) Manager on a project in a timely manner and ensures technical integrity and completeness of all process deliverables prepared by the Saipem Loss Prevention Project Team.  He also ensures the planning of the loss prevention engineering deliverables for a project, and the execution of the activities in compliance with the project schedule and Management indications.
