EHS Lead II / Site EHS Leader

Role Summary

The EHS Lead II / Site EHS Leader will provide practical, visible, and technically strong EHS leadership for three ASM Arizona facilities: two in Chandler and one in Phoenix. This role partners closely with facilities, engineering, operations, product safety, contractors, and site leadership to maintain a safe, compliant, and continuously improving workplace in a semiconductor equipment environment.

Key Responsibilities

• EHS Leadership and Program Management
• Lead site EHS execution for three ASM Arizona facilities, ensuring programs are practical, consistent, and aligned with corporate requirements and local operations.
• Serve as a trusted EHS advisor to site leadership, engineering, facilities, operations, product safety, contractors, and employees.
• Translate requirements into action by developing clear procedures, work instructions, training materials, inspections, and field controls.
• Influence without direct authority and build strong working relationships with leaders, employees, contractors, customers, and external stakeholders.
• Use data to improve performance by analyzing EHS metrics, identifying trends, and leading corrective and preventive actions.
• Semiconductor Safety, Industrial Hygiene, and Risk Control
• Support safe work in cleanroom and lab environments around semiconductor equipment, process modules, hazardous gas and chemical systems, facilities utilities, and supporting infrastructure.
• Lead risk assessments and field reviews for equipment installation, deinstallation, maintenance, non-routine work, contractor activity, and process changes.
• Maintain strong safety programs including chemical safety, hazardous energy control, electrical safety, contractor safety, ergonomics, emergency response, incident reporting, and employee training.
• Provide industrial hygiene support including exposure assessment planning, monitoring coordination, ventilation review, chemical control guidance, and follow-up actions.
• Oversee incident and health case reporting in line with regulatory and company requirements, and ensure investigations identify practical corrective actions.
• Environmental Compliance: Air, Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, and Waste
• Air compliance: support air permit applicability reviews, emissions tracking, control requirements, recordkeeping, reporting, and change reviews for tools, processes, abatement systems, and facilities equipment.
• Water and wastewater: support wastewater discharge compliance, pretreatment requirements, sampling coordination, pH or treatment system controls, water use reduction efforts, and required records or reports.
• Stormwater: maintain stormwater pollution prevention controls, inspections, training, corrective actions, and documentation for outdoor activities, chemical storage, waste storage, and contractor work.
• Hazardous and universal waste: manage waste profiles, accumulation areas, labeling, inspections, manifests, vendor coordination, employee training, and disposal records.
• Hazardous materials: support chemical inventory, Safety Data Sheet management, labeling, storage compatibility, permit conditions, and emergency planning information.
• Sustainability and reduction efforts: partner with site teams to reduce waste, emissions, water use, and compliance risk while supporting business continuity and operational needs.
• Compliance Systems, Training, and Continuous Improvement
• Maintain compliance with applicable regulations, permits, corporate standards, and management systems including ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 where applicable.
• Plan and conduct audits and inspections to verify program effectiveness, identify gaps, and drive timely closure of corrective actions.
• Develop and deliver training for local and global programs, and evaluate whether training is effective in the field.
• Support emergency preparedness and resilience including emergency response plans, drills, business resilience planning, and disaster recovery activities across the Chandler and Phoenix locations.
• Participate in management of change reviews so EHS requirements are addressed before new equipment, chemicals, facility modifications, or process changes are implemented.
• Respond to emergencies or urgent EHS needs including occasional off-hours support, as required.

Qualifications And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in occupational health and safety, environmental science, engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, industrial engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience leading EHS programs in semiconductor, high-tech manufacturing, research and development, equipment design, or similar technical operations.
• Working knowledge of environmental compliance programs, including air emissions, wastewater, stormwater, hazardous materials, hazardous waste, universal waste, and associated permits, plans, inspections, and records.
• Strong understanding of workplace safety and industrial hygiene practices used in cleanrooms, laboratories, manufacturing, facilities maintenance, and contractor-controlled work.
• Familiarity with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, EHS management systems, incident management, audit programs, corrective action tracking, and regulatory reporting.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical requirements in plain language and work effectively with employees, leaders, contractors, customers, and external partners.
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize, solve problems, make sound decisions, and drive closure in a fast-paced and changing environment.
• Professional certification is preferred, such as Associate Safety Professional, Certified Safety Professional, Certified Industrial Hygienist, Certified Hazardous Materials Manager, or similar credential.
• On-site role supporting three ASM Arizona facilities: two in Chandler and one in Phoenix. Regular local travel between facilities is required.
