The successful candidate will work closely with facility leadership, Production, Maintenance, Engineering, and Corporate Compliance to reduce risk, maintain regulatory compliance, and promote a positive learning safety culture rooted in continuous improvement.

• Partner with Operations and Corporate Compliance to verify required treatment and processing controls, monitoring, validation, and records. Ensure process deviations are escalated and affected materials are managed according to approved procedures before advancing to downstream production.
• Maintain a facility compliance calendar and inspection-ready records for applicable waste processing, air, wastewater, stormwater, and other environmental requirements. Coordinate permit renewals, monitoring, reporting, and regulatory inspections with Corporate Compliance and designated facility personnel.

• Support contractor and maintenance safety through orientation, work coordination, and verification of applicable controls for hazardous energy, hot work, confined spaces, electrical hazards, and work at height.
• Lead incident, near-miss, and exposure investigations using Human and Organizational Performance principles to identify contributing system conditions. Track corrective and preventive actions through timely completion and effectiveness verification.
• Develop and conduct role-specific EHS training for production, maintenance, receiving, shipping, supervisory, and temporary personnel. Collaborate with the Training Department to maintain accurate records and verify employee understanding and competency.
• Maintain facility emergency preparedness and response plans and coordinate training and drills for credible scenarios, including fires, spills, biological exposures, treatment failures, utility interruptions, and severe weather.
• Facilitate facility safety meetings, employee observations, and practical coaching to strengthen employee participation and identify opportunities for improvement. Maintain EHS data systems, including incident reporting and injury tracking, and communicate performance trends and priorities to facility leadership.
