  • Practical application of SEMI S2 requirements
  • Alignment with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926

• 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:
