Job description

Senior Safety lead / officer

At Agnikul, we are building rockets that will one day launch from spaceports across the country. But before anything goes up, we need to make sure everything—and everyone—on the ground is absolutely safe. We are looking for a Safety Lead who will take ownership of building, maintaining, and strengthening safety systems across our factory, test sites, and upcoming launch facilities.

  • If you are someone who can walk into a room and instantly notice what others miss—this is for you.
  • If you are someone who believes safety is not a checklist but a culture—this is for you.
  • If you’ve ever paused a meeting to say “uhh… should we be standing this close to a test rig?”— this is for you.

What will you be doing?

  • Developing and implementing comprehensive safety protocols and procedures.
  • Conducting regular safety inspections, audits, and risk assessments.
  • Leading safety training initiatives across departments—factory, test, and launch ops.
  • Investigating incidents to identify root causes and developing corrective actions.
  • Advising teams on legal safety requirements, and ensuring full compliance.
  • Working with cross-functional teams to create a safety-first culture.
  • Defining safety KPIs and using them to drive continuous improvement.
  • Who can apply?

    Qualifications

  • Diploma / Bachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Chemical Engineering. (ME / BE in Industrial Safety / Fire Safety is a plus.)
  • Experience

  • 4 to 8 years in Chemical / Process / Construction industries. (Experience in Aerospace is a big bonus.)
  • Skills

  • Proven experience in safety management systems.
  • Strong knowledge of local and international safety regulations.
  • Clear and confident communicator—both in meetings and on the shop floor.
  • Ability to multitask and prioritize in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment.
  • ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
  • What you could take away?

  • Your work will directly impact the company's trajectory.
  • You will gain exposure to a diverse range of roles and professionals within the aerospace industry.
  • You will have the opportunity to contribute to building a team that is shaping the future of space technology.
  • Location : Chennai, India

    Employment Type : Full Time

    If interested, please send your resume in PDF format and a brief email describing who you are, why you want to apply to Agnikul, and something interesting about yourself. Send resumes to humancapital@agnikul.in.
