Hire Resolve is assisting petrochemical organisations in hiring experienced petrochemical professionals to support refinery, chemical, and downstream manufacturing operations across the Netherlands. This is a multi-role opportunity covering several functions within the sector, including plant operations, process and project engineering, reliability and maintenance, HSE and process safety, quality and laboratory functions, supply chain, and commercial/technical services. These roles are designed for mid- to senior-level professionals and provide a clear pathway toward senior leadership positions such as Operations/Production Manager, Engineering Manager, Reliability Lead, HSE/Process Safety Manager, and broader site leadership roles.

Key Responsibilities

Lead safe, efficient plant operations across continuous and batch processes, utilities, and supporting units
Drive process optimisation, debottlenecking, yield improvement, energy efficiency, and cost reduction initiatives
Support or lead capital projects from scope definition through execution, commissioning, and handover
Maintain robust technical documentation and change control (P&IDs, procedures, operating envelopes, MOC)
Strengthen asset reliability through preventive/predictive maintenance strategies, RCA, shutdown/turnaround planning, and integrity programmes
Ensure compliance with Dutch health and safety requirements and site HSE management systems, including major hazard controls where applicable
Lead and participate in risk assessments (HAZOP/LOPA), incident investigations, and corrective action closure
Manage contractors and safe systems of work (Permit to Work, isolations/LOTO, method statements and risk assessments)
Monitor and improve KPIs for safety, production, quality, reliability, and budget performance
Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Laboratory, Supply Chain, and external vendors to deliver site objectives
Support internal and external audits and inspections; maintain continuous improvement programmes
Coach and develop teams through training, competency development, and leadership support

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Instrumentation Engineering, Chemistry, or a related discipline
Typically 7–15+ years of experience in petrochemicals, refining, specialty chemicals, polymers, industrial gases, or comparable process manufacturing environments
Demonstrated experience in one or more functional tracks: operations leadership, process engineering, reliability/maintenance, rotating equipment, HSE/process safety, projects, quality/laboratory, or commercial/technical support
Working knowledge of industrial safety and major hazard expectations (Seveso/BRZO context, Permit to Work, isolations/LOTO, contractor management, process safety practices where applicable)
Familiarity with common plant systems and tools such as CMMS/EAM (e.g., SAP/Maximo), process historians (e.g., PI System), and standard engineering documentation
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to lead cross-functional initiatives
Professional English proficiency required; Dutch is an advantage for some roles and sites
