About the role

magniX is seeking an EHS Manager to own and grow the company’s Environmental, Health & Safety program. magniX has an established EHS foundation; this role takes ownership of that program and develops it into a scalable, multi-site function that keeps pace with the company’s transition from R&D to production.

• Align the program with recognized management system frameworks (e.g., ISO 45001 and ISO 14001) to position magniX for future certification and customer requirements.
• Serve as primary contact with regulators (WA L&I/DOSH, Dept. of Ecology, EPA, local fire authorities) and lead agency inspections and responses.

• Own hazard analysis (JHAs, risk assessments) and EHS review of new equipment, processes, and facility changes before commissioning.
• Lead incident investigations and root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions to verified closure.
• Oversee high-voltage electrical, lithium-ion battery, test cell, chemical, and emergency preparedness programs.
• Build and deliver EHS training for employees and contractors, partnering with operations leaders to foster a strong safety-reporting culture.
• Remain hands-on in execution, including inspections and waste stream management.

Required Qualifications

• Proven ability to influence without direct authority and to partner credibly with production, test, engineering, and executive leaders.
