This full-time role for a Storage, Handling and Logistics specialist is based in Riyadh.

Role Overview

DSS Sustainable Solutions Switzerland SA is developing a proposal for a client in Saudi Arabia to support the creation of a National Industrial Hazard Index (IHI). The IHI is designed to provide a consistent methodology for measuring and classifying the inherent hazard level of factories across Saudi industrial cities. This role seeks credible and independent industrial hazard and risk specialists to provide external perspectives and contribute practical insights to the proposed methodology. The IHI will serve as a risk-based decision-making tool to inform factory inspections, specialist expertise requirements, emergency preparedness, and regulatory resource allocation.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide expert challenge and validation during technical workshops with the project team.
• Review the proposed Industrial Hazard Index through the lens of current industry practice, regulatory experience, and technical evidence.
• Ensure the resulting methodology is credible, practical, transparent, and suitable for application across diverse industrial landscapes.
• Contribute expertise across areas such as hazardous material properties and inventories, industrial process characteristics, fire and explosion risks, loss-of-containment, stored energy, occupational exposure, workforce exposure, and potential consequences beyond factory boundaries.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a recognized specialist with deep practical expertise in industrial hazards, process safety, fire and explosion risk, occupational hygiene, regulatory inspection, emergency preparedness, or a closely related discipline. This role requires independent judgment, strong technical credibility, and the confidence to constructively challenge proposed approaches. Candidates should be able to distinguish between theoretically robust methods and those that are practical for varied industrial environments.

Qualifications and Experience

• Extensive experience in industrial hazard and risk assessment, management, or regulation.
• A track record of providing independent technical advice or challenge in complex industrial settings.
• A relevant degree in engineering, science, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional certifications or accreditations in relevant fields (*, process safety, risk management, occupational hygiene) are preferred.
• Experience in industrial regulation or operations within Saudi Arabia, the GCC, or comparable international settings is beneficial but not essential.

Required Capabilities

• Ability to critically evaluate complex technical methodologies and frameworks.
• Capability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.
• Effectively work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
