Full Job Description SUMMARY:

Leads critical safety and environmental programs and drives site level execution of the EHSS strategy established by the EHSS Director.

Serves as the primary facility owner for high impact EHS programs, mentors the EHS Specialist, and ensures programs are effectively implemented and sustained on the production floor.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES

Champion a zero-incident culture.

Serve as site lead for environmental compliance and pollution prevention. Coordinate/maintain permits and plans (air/water/waste, stormwater, SPCC), manage regulatory reporting (e.g., Tier II/TRI as applicable), and interface with agencies. Lead robust environmental audits; analyze trends and drive continuous improvement to ensure sustained compliance. Build and execute facility roadmaps that reduce energy, water, waste, and GHG (Scope 1 & 2; support Scope 3 collaboration); develop baselines, targets, and business cases; ensure new/modified processes incorporate low carbon and energy efficient design. Track and communicate progress to site/business leadership. Ensure exposure assessments, IH monitoring, and medical surveillance are completed and risks controlled (e.g., hearing conservation, respiratory protection, ergonomics). Lead ergonomic risk-reduction projects with measurable exposure reductions. Design and deliver advanced, role-based training (e.g., Authorized LOTO, Confined Space Supervisor, PIT, Hazard Communication) with competency verification (observations, quizzes, OJT). Coach supervisors, safety teams, and the EHS Specialist to strengthen ownership and accountability. Maintain accurate EHS/ESG data (injury/illness, inspections, waste/air/water/energy, GHG) and submit timely regulatory and internal reports. Publish monthly dashboards, analyze trends, and lead countermeasures to closure with verification of effectiveness. Lead EHSS reviews for new/modified equipment, materials, and processes; manage Management of Change and Pre Startup Safety Reviews to ensure engineered controls are in place before starting up. Apply structured project/change management and share lessons learned across the site. Build constructive relationships with regulators, waste/utility partners, and professional associations; anticipate external issues and support site reputation and compliance readiness. Translate enterprise EHSS strategy into site programs and routines; prioritize and sequence work; mentor the EHS Specialist and coach area leaders/associates; facilitate site EHS steering routines and best practice transfer across departments.
