If this is you, then let's talk!

You chose to study and work in the EHS profession because you want to make a difference.

Understanding regulations and being the subject matter expert is a core competency we expect, but that is only part of the story. What sets you apart is that you can convey relevant details to suit your audience. Your enthusiasm makes EHS a choice not a chore, and you can rally support across all levels of the organization, making positive changes to people's working environments.

You systematically look at underlying causes and trends, prior to developing proactive strategies to make safety excellence the norm.

Despite all your best efforts, you know that there will be roadblocks and setbacks, and your ability to keep focused will be critical in our Goal Zero mission. You can balance empathy for those undergoing change, with a tenacity to create a better future.

You appreciate that learning is continual, and you are just as willing to ask for help, as you are to share success stories with your peers in the network.

We are looking for a special person, a leader who will inspire others, with a balance of compliance knowledge, technical expertise, and interpersonal skills. With your help, we will make safety stick!
