Internationally we have had projects in Japan , Korea , Brazil , the United States , as well as within the European Union.

Human Factors Training & Consultancy

Human Reliabilty provides a wide range of courses to sectors such as rail and marine transport, healthcare, power generation, chemical processing and aviation maintenance. Our courses are constantly being upgraded to reflect new developments and consulting experience. Consulting provides us with the opportunity to apply the ideas developed through our research and development activities, to the solution of specific problems in a number of industries. We have consulted for multinational organisations in the petrochemicals, healthcare, and rail and marine sectors.

Who are we looking for?

Specific competences in particular areas are important but we also value adaptability, flexibility and enthusiasm. Experience in safety critical industries such as transport, chemical processing, aviation or power generation will be particularly welcome.

We have two vacancies for human factors specialists.

Senior level positions will require a higher degree and/ or several years of appropriate experience in research or consultancy.

Human Reliabilty is located in a pleasant semi-rural location within easy reach of the lively cities of Liverpool and Manchester . We have an informal and friendly working environment with a collegial rather than a corporate atmosphere. We expect commitment but in return we provide considerable autonomy and flexibility with regard to working hours and locations. Salary levels will reflect your experience and qualifications.
