Position Summary:
This is a dynamic position that requires both visibility on the production floor and a strong grasp of corporate-level EHS documentation and compliance. You’ll spend your time engaging with team members at all levels to build a proactive safety culture while also managing the formal side of EHS—regulatory reporting, documentation, and coordination with corporate and external agencies.

• Conduct site inspections, risk assessments, and incident investigations.
• Coordinate environmental reporting (air, water, waste, Tier II, Form R, etc.).
• Collaborate with plant leadership and corporate teams on safety initiatives and reporting.
• Balance people-focused work with accuracy and attention to administrative detail.

Qualifications:

• Bilingual in English and Spanish (written and verbal) – required
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field – required
• CHMM, ASP/CSP, or CIH certification – preferred
• 3–6 years of EHS experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Strong understanding of OSHA, EPA, and other regulatory requirements
