Careers

Description:

Responsibilities

• Work alongside engineers, technicians, and crews in labs, shops, docks, and field environments to identify hazards, support work planning, and help teams execute work safely.
• Serve as a daily field safety partner to technical teams, with regular presence in shops, labs, manufacturing spaces, test areas, and field environments.
• Coach teams in the moment on safe practices, hazard recognition, and risk controls, building the kind of trust that makes safety conversations natural and ongoing.
• Develop and apply Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and other risk assessment methods to support work planning and identify controls before work begins.
• Support safe execution of higher-risk work, including LOTO, hot work, lifting and rigging, confined-space-adjacent work, shop fabrication, equipment installation, marine operations, field testing, and contractor activity.
• Contribute to  HAZID/HAZOP assessments for new projects and equipment, representing practical EHS perspectives in engineering risk reviews.
• Participate in engineering design reviews and safety reviews during construction, equipment installation, and process development, helping identify and address risks at the right stage.
• Provide timely, practical safety guidance to teams, developing solutions that mitigate emergent hazards without unnecessary disruption to work.
• Support incident investigations and help develop practical corrective and preventive actions.
• Maintain safety documentation including inspections, near misses, and incident records; support timely corrective action follow-through.
• Contribute to developing and delivering safety training for diverse technical audiences across fabrication, marine operations, electrical work, and lab environments.
• Support emergency response planning and drills.
• Contribute to building and refining EHS policies, processes, and training materials as the company grows.
• Work as a trusted partner to Engineering, Workplace Design & Operations, Manufacturing, Marine Ops, and Testing to ensure safety decisions are informed by how work actually gets done.

Skills/Eligibility:

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Environmental Health & Safety, field safety, industrial safety, construction safety, manufacturing safety, marine safety, or a closely related role. 
• Strong foundation in one or more of the following environments: industrial operations, fabrication, manufacturing, marine operations, field operations, hardware test labs, or hardware development. 
• Demonstrated ability to build trust and work effectively with technicians, engineers, and crews at all levels, with a hands-on, field-present approach.
• Strong hazard recognition skills and practical experience developing JHAs and other hazard analysis tools in complex technical environments.
• Experience supporting safe work execution in at least several of the following areas: LOTO, hot work, confined space or permit-required work, lifting and rigging, electrical work, machine guarding, chemical handling, shop fabrication, field work, or contractor safety. 
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations, hazard communication standards, and risk assessment methodologies.
• Proven ability to support incident investigations and contribute to corrective and preventive actions.
• Ability to translate regulatory or technical concepts into clear, practical guidance for a variety of work settings.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments where procedures may still be developing and safety practices need to be built alongside the work.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with high-voltage electrical safety, including NFPA 70E requirements, LOTO programs, and safe energized work practices. 
• Background in metal fabrication, engineering, hardware assembly, or rapidly evolving industrial environments — particularly if your primary experience is in marine operations.
• Experience with marine operations or maritime safety, including risk assessments for field or vessel activities — particularly if your primary experience is in industrial or manufacturing environments.
• Working knowledge of lithium-ion battery safety, including storage, handling, and hazardous waste classification.
• Familiarity with HAZID/HAZOP methodologies and experience applying them in engineering design or process development contexts.
• Familiarity with key electrical and battery safety standards (e.g., NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, NFPA 855, UL 9540/9540A).
• Knowledge of Federal, California, Oregon, and/or Washington OSHA regulations.
• Experience contributing to or participating in EHS training programs for diverse technical teams.
• Relevant certifications such as CSP, ASP, CHST, or OSHA 30.
