Job description

Job Description

onsemi is seeking an Environmental Health & Safety Engineer to join the EHS team at our East Fishkill semiconductor manufacturing facility. This role is intended for an experienced EHS professional with demonstrated ownership of high‑hazard operations, semiconductor tools, construction activities, and regulatory compliance systems. The successful candidate will independently assess risk, challenge assumptions, apply structured problem solving, and influence outcomes across engineering, facilities, and operations using data, technical expertise, and standards‑based judgment.

Responsibilities

• Act as a technical authority and risk owner for EHS within semiconductor manufacturing, facilities, and construction activities.
• Independently partner with engineering, facilities, and operations leadership on a weekly cadence to:
  • Identify emerging EHS risks
  • Challenge unsafe designs or practices
  • Establish measurable corrective actions tied to site KPIs
• Lead complex incident investigations, high‑potential near‑miss reviews, and significant non‑conformances using structured, data‑driven problem‑solving methodologies (e.g., fault tree, barrier analysis, trend analysis).
• Own EHS oversight of semiconductor tool installation, modification, qualification, and decommissioning, ensuring:
  • Practical application of SEMI S2 requirements
  • Alignment with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926
  • Integration of engineering controls at design and pre‑task phases
• Serve as a lead contributor for construction safety, contractor oversight, and Energy Control, Confined Space, Hot Work, and chemical/gas system risk management.
• Maintain continuous audit‑ready compliance for:
  • ISO 14001
  • ISO 45001
  • OSHA
• Direct the site’s regulatory compliance assurance process, moving beyond checklist compliance to system performance and effectiveness.
• Analyze EHS data and trends to proactively identify systemic risk and drive prevention—not just response.
• Lead cross‑functional teams in engineering‑based and behavioral risk reduction, holding stakeholders accountable for timely, effective corrective action.
• Prepare and submit technically accurate EHS reports and permit documentation, defending assumptions and methodologies when challenged.
• Represent the site during regulatory inspections, technical discussions, and enforcement‑related inquiries with confidence and credibility.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Applied Science (Chemical, Environmental, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Hygiene, or equivalent).
• 6+ years of progressively responsible experience in:
  • Semiconductor manufacturing environments or
  • High‑hazard industrial facilities with complex tools, chemical systems, and construction activity
• Proven, hands‑on working knowledge of:
  • OSHA 29 CFR 1910 (General Industry)
  • OSHA 29 CFR 1926 (Construction)
• Demonstrated ability to:
  • Work independently with minimal direction
  • Apply structured, data‑supported problem solving
  • Influence engineering and operations leaders without positional authority
• Experience making risk‑based decisions and defending them using standards, data, and technical rationale.
• Limited travel, as required, for company business.

Salary

Base salary range: $114,000 to $193,700 exclusive of fringe benefits or potential bonuses. Final pay will depend on geographic location, skills, education, experience, and internal equity of the current team. Competitive benefits package: https://www.onsemi.com/site/pdf/Benefits-Summary-USA.pdf
