• Culture Architect: Proactively champion a just culture where accountability is balanced with systemic learning, empowering employees at all levels to act as safety leaders and innovators.
• Strategic Risk Reduction: Utilize data and advanced Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to diagnose and systematically solve underlying EHS risks, moving beyond compliance checklists.
• Sustainable Implementation: Develop and champion the implementation of long-term engineering controls and systematic process improvements over temporary administrative fixes.
• Cross-Functional Mobilization: Lead and mentor cross-functional safety committees and working groups, driving alignment and shared ownership of EHS goals across Operations, Engineering, and Management teams.
• Program Standardization: Manage, own, and drive momentum for key EHS initiatives that have stalled, such as the prescription safety glass program or LOTO standardization.
• Operational Integration: Partner with production supervisors and operators to co-design EHS solutions that are practical, safe, and seamlessly integrated into the manufacturing workflow.
• Change Management Mastery: Design and execute effective change management strategies for new EHS policies and equipment introductions, ensuring high adoption rates and minimal disruption to production efficiency.

Skills/Eligibility:

• Manufacturing Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of dedicated EHS experience within a manufacturing or industrial setting.

• Professional Maturity: Possesses the credibility and experience to negotiate conflicting priorities, knowing when to stand firm on compliance and when to collaborate for the best outcome.
• Technical Knowledge: Strong foundation in relevant EHS regulations (e.g., L&I, NFPA, IH, EPA) and proven success in implementing and managing core EHS programs.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis methodologies (e.g., 5-Why, Fishbone), EHS management systems, and data analysis for trending incidents.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, influencing, active listening, and problem-solving abilities.
• Injury Metrics Management: Proven ability to analyze and drive improvements in key safety metrics, including Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate, and First Aid Case Rate.
• Industrial Hygiene (IH) Data Interpretation: Deep understanding of IH principles, including monitoring techniques and interpreting data related to airborne contaminants (e.g., crystalline silica, dust), noise exposure, and chemical hazard communication (SDS management), with demonstrated success in implementing controls to meet Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
• Process Safety Management (PSM)/Risk Assessment: Proficiency in conducting and leading formal risk assessment methodologies, such as Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), and/or Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), translating findings into prioritized corrective actions.
• Machine Guarding & Control of Hazardous Energy: Expert knowledge of OSHA 1910 Subpart O (Machine Guarding) and proven experience designing and validating Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, specifically targeting high-risk machinery like presses, kilns, and conveyors to meet ANSI Z244.1 standards.
