Process Safety Engineer, Pfizer

The candidate will serve as the primary point of contact on assigned projects within the Process Safety Laboratory (PSL) to ensure full safety assessment and safe execution of chemical processes in global chemistry laboratories, supply chain, and manufacturing facilities. Responsibilities include generation and support of a testing strategy and discussion/evaluation of that strategy with Project Scientists, Supply Chain Supervisors, and other stakeholders across the local and global sites. The candidate will perform safety testing experimentation in the Process Safety Laboratory, research literature based safety information, evaluate data generated from tests, accurately document results in appropriate databases and reports and communicate outcomes to customers and partners. Effective communication skills are essential. The position requires approximately 30% office responsibilities and 70% laboratory responsibilities. The candidate must routinely lift 25 pounds to 38 inches and work in standard chemistry fume hoods.Functional Responsibilities:

The position will include the following roles and responsibilities:
Serve as a chemistry expert within the process safety laboratory
Coordinate and perform the daily activities for assigned projects within a process safety-testing laboratory.
Meet with project scientists and supply chain supervisors to communicate and coordinate safety-testing requirements prior to scaleup in chemistry laboratories/supply chain/manufacturing facilities.
Perform Fall Hammer, DSC, TSu, ARC, RC1, Super CRC, and Phi-Tech experiments. Enter all data into a global database.
Foster appropriate use of reaction heat estimation within the global process safety network
Interpret data from RC1, Super CRC, ARC, DSC, TSu, Phi-Tech, BAM Fall Hammer, and HPLC instrumentation to make recommendations for the safe scaleup of chemical processes in chemistry laboratories/supply chain/manufacturing facilities.
Support development of new workflow approaches and technologies that allow maximum efficiency of safety testing and application of results.
Perform literature and Internet searches to benchmark best practices for various chemical reactions and reagents.
