Your Role

Operating with a high degree of independence, you will guide site management and senior stakeholders on hazardous materials, radiation safety, and process risk, applying advanced analytical thinking to solve non-routine compliance challenges. You will shape local EHS strategy aligned with broader organizational goals, serve as a senior advisor and best-practice resource across cross-functional teams, and drive the sustained achievement of a hazard-free, injury-free workplace — outcomes that reflect a deep commitment to human health and environmental stewardship.

Who You Are

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Environmental Health, Occupational Safety, Safety Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.


• 8 or more years of EHS experience with a significant focus on hazardous materials management.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience supporting EHS regulatory compliance, including developing and maintaining site-level procedures, conducting internal audits, and managing EHS risk programs.


• Experience serving as a site Dangerous Goods Manager or Radiation Safety Officer, or equivalent functional responsibility.


• Knowledge of California state EHS regulations and experience with environmental permitting, data collection, and regulatory reporting.


• Professional certification such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or Certificate in Hazardous Materials Management (CHMM).


• Experience with incident investigation methodologies including Root Cause Analysis, and familiarity with HAZWOPER, ISO 45001/ISO 14001, and behavior-based safety programs.


• Proven ability to communicate effectively with regulatory authorities, senior executives, and diverse employee populations, and to lead EHS programs within a matrix organization.
