• Develop and deploy environmental management systems and governance.
• Identify emerging regulatory requirements and translate them into practical implementation plans, standards, and site actions.
• Provide technical leadership on environmental permitting/licensing, including applicability, inventories, calculations, permit applications/renewals/modifications, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting.

• Validate the completeness and accuracy of significant environmental data, calculations, regulatory submissions, and supporting records.
• Track high-risk and overdue corrective actions, verify effectiveness of significant controls, and elevate material compliance risks to appropriate leadership.
• Create a site recovery program for at-risk/high risk locations.
