About the role
- Our Rondo Heat Batteries turn low-cost renewable electricity into continuous, high-temperature heat and power, enabling industrial facilities to replace fossil-fired boilers without costly process changes.
- The result is lower-cost, zero-carbon industrial energy delivered safely, reliably, and at 98% efficiency.
- Rondo is commercially deployed and rapidly scaling, today.
Responsibilities
- Own the global PHA methodology and standard (HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA); personally facilitate high-risk and complex studies, and calibrate, and oversee local facilitators at each site so quality is consistent worldwide
- Own the global PHA action register and governance; drive closure by assigning accountability to line/engineering owners, tracking to completion, and escalating overdue high-risk actions to leadership
- Build process safety competency across the global organization - develop and deliver HAZOP/PHA leader and team-member training, and establish a qualified network of local facilitators and process safety champions so the program is not single-threaded
- Own and scale Rondo's global risk-based PSM program, including periodic re-determination of regulatory applicability across jurisdictions (OSHA PSM / CalARP in the US; Seveso III in the EU; Major Hazard Facility / WHS regimes in Australia; applicable Thai requirements) so program rigor tracks actual process risk and inventory as each site grows
- Track record of independently challenging designs and operating plans on a risk basis, including the authority to flag and halt unacceptable risk - without being the author of the controls under review
- Experience leading cross-functional hazard-evaluation teams across cultures and time zones; ability to drive consensus on risk and safeguards in geographically distributed settings
- Backed by world-class industrial leaders and investors - including Breakthrough Energy, Energy Impact Partners, Rio Tinto, Aramco, SABIC, SCG, TITAN, Microsoft, H&M, and John Doerr - Rondo is building the next generation of industrial energy infrastructure at global scale.
- This person will serve as the company's principal technical authority for hazard evaluation across all sites (US, Germany, Portugal, Thailand, Australia), set the global process safety standard with local adaptation, personally lead the highest-risk and most complex studies, and build and qualify distributed facilitation capability so the program runs across geographies without depending on a single person.
Requirements
- ~10-15+ years of process/process-safety engineering experience with a demonstrated record independently facilitating full HAZOP/PHA studies
- Serve as the mandatory process safety reviewer within the Management of Change process, ensuring changes are screened for process safety impact and trigger PHA revalidation where required
- BS in chemical, mechanical, process, or related engineering; ~10-15+ years of process/process-safety engineering experience with a demonstrated record independently facilitating full HAZOP/PHA studies
Compensation
- $10k-$15k
