This is a visible site role responsible for driving safety culture, regulatory compliance, and environmental performance in a complex operation handling chemical products and raw materials.

The ideal candidate will have strong OSHA-based safety leadership experience in a manufacturing setting and a proven ability to influence plant leadership and frontline teams. Exposure to PSM and environmental compliance programs is a plus, but not a requirement.

• Environmental programs (air, water, wastewater, stormwater, SPCC, hazardous waste)
• Emergency preparedness & response planning
• Incident investigations and root cause analysis
• Regulatory reporting and agency interface
• Safety culture engagement and workforce coaching
• Audit readiness and corrective action management

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Chemistry, or related field
• 3+ years of EH&S leadership experience in chemical or industrial manufacturing
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations; exposure to PSM and environmental programs is a plus
• Proven ability to influence plant leadership and frontline teams
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to partner cross-functionally across Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and Corporate functions
• Comfortable working in a matrixed environment and building strong relationships with external regulatory agencies
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Ability to operate independently while driving accountability across the site
