Rohaidah Yahaya

I’m a multidisciplinary engineer with a strong background in radiation protection, process safety, and materials science. I hold a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from the University of Sheffield, where I focused on developing durable cementitious materials for nuclear waste encapsulation. My industry experience spans cement and oil & gas sectors, where I led safety audits, incident investigations, and ISO 14001 compliance initiatives.

I’m passionate about risk-informed decision-making, environmental sustainability, and ensuring safety in high-hazard environments. I’m now seeking industry opportunities where I can contribute to safety, reliability, and regulatory excellence.

I have over a decade of experience in safety engineering and radiation protection across the cement, oil & gas, and nuclear sectors. My work has included hazard identification, risk assessments, ISO 14001 compliance, and radiation safety audits. Most recently, I completed a PhD focused on nuclear waste encapsulation using advanced cementitious materials, combining lab safety leadership with materials-informed risk evaluation.

I’m passionate about applying multidisciplinary expertise to improve safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance in high-hazard industries.
