Safety and Environmental Specialist

About the role

Oracle is seeking an experienced Safety & Environmental Specialist – Power Operations to develop, implement, and continuously improve safety and environmental programs supporting the Power Operations fleet. This senior individual contributor will have end-to-end responsibility for establishing the programs, processes, standards, metrics, and governance necessary to achieve exceptional safety performance and 100% environmental compliance. The role will partner closely with site operations, maintenance, engineering, project teams, and leadership to embed safety and environmental excellence into day-to-day operations.
