Safety & Risk Management

· Participate in incident, injury, illness, and near-miss investigations and support root cause analysis and corrective action planning.

· Conduct workplace risk assessments and inspections and partner with site leaders to address identified hazards.

· Support injury prevention, workers’ compensation, and return-to-work activities as appropriate.

· Develop and deliver EHS training and awareness programs for employees and leaders.

· Track EHS metrics and trends and use data to identify opportunities for proactive risk reduction and continuous improvement.

· Provide technical guidance during emergency response planning and EHS-related events.

Business Partnership & Continuous Improvement

· Serve as a technical EHS resource and trusted partner to employees, site leadership, and cross-functional teams.

· Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Human Resources, and other functions to integrate environmental, health, and safety considerations into business activities and projects.

· Provide practical, solutions-oriented recommendations that balance regulatory requirements, employee protection, and operational needs.

· Support regulatory inspections and communicate professionally with governmental agencies, consultants, vendors, and other external partners.

· Identify opportunities to improve EHS systems, processes, training, and overall program effectiveness.

· 5+ years of progressive EHS experience in a manufacturing, chemical, industrial, or similarly regulated environment.

· Demonstrated experience in environmental compliance, occupational health, industrial hygiene, or a combination of these areas.

· Experience with environmental permitting, regulatory reporting, compliance audits, inspections, or agency interactions.
