Welcome to my journey! I am Nitin Jadhav, a passionate Process Safety Engineer with over 10+ years of experience in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and polyolefins industries. My professional path has been driven by a deep commitment to process safety, risk assessment, and hazard analysis, ensuring industrial operations remain safe, efficient, and compliant with global safety standards.
Early Life & Education
My interest in engineering and problem-solving began early in my life. Born and raised in Parbhani, Maharashtra, I was always fascinated by science and technology. My passion led me to pursue a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University, Lonere, where I graduated with first-class distinction.
During my academic journey, I was deeply involved in research and technical projects, including my final-year project on biodiesel production using microwave technology. These experiences shaped my analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities, setting the foundation for my career in process safety engineering.
The Beginning of My Career
I started my career with Tecnimont India, where I gained hands-on experience in fire protection design, HAZOP studies, risk analysis, and fire & gas detection systems. Over time, I moved to L&T Chiyoda Ltd., where I expanded my expertise by working on high-profile projects in India and abroad, collaborating with global clients such as Saudi Aramco, SOCAR Polymer, Gazprom, and Indian Oil. Later, I returned to Tecnimont India, where I took on leadership roles in process safety and risk management.
From hazardous area classification to fire water hydraulic calculations, my role involved ensuring that industrial plants met the highest safety standards while optimizing operational efficiency. I had the opportunity to lead engineering teams, conduct technical audits, and manage safety studies for complex projects worldwide.
Current Role & Expertise
Currently, I am working as an Assistant Manager – Process Safety at Tecnimont India, leading a team of safety engineers. My work revolves around fire protection engineering, quantitative risk analysis (QRA), SIL studies, and emergency response planning.
Over the years, I have built expertise in:
- Fire Water System Design & Hydraulic Analysis
- Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), HAZOP & LOPA Studies
- QRA, Gas Dispersion & Explosion Modelling
- Fire & Gas Mapping and Safety Layouts
- Regulatory Compliance (NFPA, API, IS, OISD, OSHA, etc.)
- Using Advanced Safety Software (PIPENET, PHAST, PHA Works, AutoCAD)
My Passion for Learning & Teaching
Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and mentoring aspiring engineers. Through my blog and online content, I aim to simplify complex process safety concepts and help professionals stay updated with the latest trends in process safety and risk management.
In addition to engineering, I have a keen interest in blogging, web development, and digital entrepreneurship. I actively manage my websites, writing about technology, startups, and blogging tips, helping others create successful online ventures.
Future Goals & Vision
Looking ahead, I am committed to:
- Advancing process safety technologies and best practices
- Developing AI-driven safety analysis tools
- Educating and mentoring young engineers
- Expanding my blogging journey into process safety, startups, and digital business
With every project, I strive to make industries safer, more efficient, and sustainable, ensuring a better future for the next generation of engineers.
