  • Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, engineering, quality, and human resources to integrate EHS considerations into all business processes and projects, particularly new product development and facility modifications.

  • Monitor and analyze EHS performance metrics, preparing regular reports for senior leadership on compliance status, incident rates, and program effectiveness.

  • Stay abreast of new EHS regulations, industry trends, and technologies to ensure the organization remains at the forefront of safety and environmental stewardship.

  • In-depth knowledge of OSHA, EPA, and other relevant federal, state, and local EHS regulations and standards.

  • Proven experience in developing, implementing, and managing robust EHS management systems (e.g., ISO 14001, ISO 45001).

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all organizational levels.
