You’ll report to senior EHS leadership and work directly with site leaders and employees to improve safety outcomes, ensure compliance, and support continuous improvement.

• Be part of a company committed to safety, reliability, and long‑term impact

What You’ll Do (In a Nutshell)

• Lead all Environmental, Health, and Safety activities for the site
• Drive injury prevention, risk reduction, and continuous improvement
• Ensure OSHA, EPA, and site regulatory compliance; lead audits and inspections
• Investigate incidents and ensure strong corrective and preventive actions
• Partner with leaders to embed safety into daily operations
• Lead environmental programs focused on waste, water, and emissions reduction
• Oversee EHS training, contractor safety, and emergency response readiness

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of EHS experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Working knowledge of OSHA and environmental regulations
• Experience leading site‑level EHS programs and incident investigations
• Ability to influence leaders and engage frontline teams
• Strong communicator who can be both practical and strategic

Nice to Have (Not Required):
