What You'll DoPartner directly with manufacturing and product teams to evaluate new and changing processes, equipment, raw materials, and products for safety and environmental impacts.
Lead and sustain safety and environmental programs at assigned manufacturing operation.
Maintain site permit and program compliance with applicable federal, state, and local safety and environmental regulations (reporting programs listed below).Conduct hazard assessments and identify practical solutions to improve manufacturing processes and regulatory compliance.
Analyze process and product data to identify opportunities for safety, environmental, and sustainability improvements.
Perform complex emissions calculations and support environmental permits and regulatory reporting.
Conduct and/or lead site, contractor, and supplier safety and environmental audits.
Develop corrective actions and lead improvement initiatives through completion.
Support OSHA reporting, environmental reporting, SDS requirements, monitoring, testing, and regulatory documentation.
Provide EHS training to manufacturing team members and reinforce a behavior-based safety culture.
Investigate all incidents and injuries and facilitate return to work processes.
Work with third-party testing, calibration, training, and environmental service providers.

Minimum 4 years of safety and/or environmental regulatory experience in a manufacturing environment.
Strong analytical and engineering skills, including the ability to evaluate chemical, physical, environmental, and process-related hazards.
Experience interpreting regulatory requirements and developing practical paths to compliance.
Ability to analyze technical data and develop corrective actions and improvement plans.
Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with manufacturing employees, leadership, contractors, suppliers, and regulatory agencies.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, including pivot tables, lookup formulas, aggregate functions, and statistical analysis.
Ability to work independently, prioritize multiple projects, and make sound decisions in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
A strong commitment to ethical, legally compliant, and responsible business practices.
Why This Role MattersYou won't simply be reviewing policies from behind a desk. You'll be in the plant, working alongside manufacturing teams, evaluating processes, identifying hazards, solving problems, and helping turn EHS requirements into practical solutions.
Your engineering expertise will directly contribute to safer operations, stronger environmental performance, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement across the manufacturing environment.
