  • Ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations covering air, water, waste, and hazardous materials.

  • Manage permitting, reporting, inspections, and waste management activities.

  • Identify pragmatic environmental improvements that align compliance, sustainability, and operational efficiency.

  • Develop and deliver effective EHS training for employees, supervisors, and leaders.

  • Use data and trends to drive prioritization, improvement actions, and leadership reporting.

  • Prepare for and support regulatory, internal, and customer audits.

  • Standardize scalable EHS processes suitable for a rapidly growing manufacturing campus.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health & Safety, Safety Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

  • 7–10+ years of EHS experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment.

  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and environmental compliance requirements.
