Job Overview

Lead the development and execution of a risk-based environmental compliance strategy across global d Industrial Solutions manufacturing sites. Provide strategic direction, technical expertise, and compliance assurance to ensure environmental obligations are understood and met, significant risks are proactively identified and reduced, and effective systems are sustained. Partner with site EHS, Operations, Engineering, Facilities, Legal, Corporate Environmental, and segment leadership to embed environmental compliance into operational planning, decision-making, and continuous improvement.

Site leadership remains accountable for day-to-day operational compliance; this role provides segment-level strategy, technical oversight, governance, management system development, policy adaptation, verification, and escalation to enable consistent performance across the assigned sites.

Key Responsibilities

Environmental Strategy and Risk Reduction

• Develop and execute a multi-year environmental compliance strategy and annual priorities aligned with business operations, regulatory exposure, and significant environmental risks.
• Assess the environmental risk profile across sites; prioritize resources and initiatives based on potential regulatory, operational, and environmental consequences.
• Integrate environmental requirements into business planning and management of change for new equipment, processes, chemicals, capacity expansions, and facility modifications.
• Develop and deploy environmental management systems and governance.
• Identify emerging regulatory requirements and translate them into practical implementation plans, standards, and site actions.

Regulatory Compliance and Technical Leadership

• Provide technical leadership on environmental permitting/licensing, including applicability, inventories, calculations, permit applications/renewals/modifications, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting.
• Oversee compliance programs for hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including characterization, generator status, storage, labeling, transportation, disposal, manifests, and vendor oversight.
• Provide technical oversight for wastewater/stormwater/drinking water permits, sampling, discharge limits, treatment performance, inspections, reporting, and unauthorized discharge investigations.
• Guide site programs for spill prevention and response, chemical management, storage tanks, environmental releases, and emergency response.
• Ensure a process exists to periodically reconcile permits, registrations, and authorizations with actual equipment, materials, processes, emissions, discharges, production volumes, and operating conditions.
• Provide oversight and technical guidance on required government mandated reports as required by law.

Assurance and Incident Management

• Lead a risk-based environmental compliance assurance approach incorporating legal compliance audits, site reviews, self-assessments, critical-obligation verification, and follow-up on significant findings.
• Provide oversight of environmental incidents, releases, permit deviations, exceedances, and Notices of Violation; support timely notification, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and prevention of recurrence.
• 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.

Systems, Standardization and Continuous Improvement

• Develop and sustain common environmental compliance tools, procedures, permit registers, obligation matrices, compliance calendars, dashboards, and technical guidance.
• Use Benchmark Gensuite and other approved digital tools to improve compliance visibility, action tracking, reporting quality, and consistency across sites.
• Apply data analytics and appropriately governed AI-enabled solutions to identify trends, simplify administrative work, and support earlier risk identification.
• Analyze findings, incidents, regulatory events, and site performance to identify systemic issues and deploy scalable preventive improvements and best practices.
• Coordinate technical performance of consultants, laboratories, waste vendors, and other environmental service providers.

Leadership, Governance and Performance

• Partner with Corporate Environmental, legal, site and business leaders to clarify environmental responsibilities, build capability, and integrate compliance into routine operating reviews.
• Establish and monitor meaningful indicators covering critical obligations, permit deviations, audit findings, corrective-action timeliness and effectiveness, and significant environmental events.
• Provide clear, risk-based updates and recommendations to segment EHS and business leadership, including progress against strategic priorities.
• Coach and influence cross-functional teams without relying on direct reporting authority; share lessons learned and effective practices across sites.
• Assist in developing training programs to enhance capability and compliance in IS BU sites.
