About The Job

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

In this role, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) programs and initiatives across a dispersed geographic area. You will be responsible for driving EHS performance improvement by collaborating directly with Google Data Center partners, general contractors, electrical/mechanical trades and organizations, key integrators, EHS counterparts, fabricators, and commissioning agents on our projects. You will be also conducting pre-qualification evaluations of potential vendors and clearly communicating EHS expectations to all partners.

Responsibilities

• Lead, own, and execute the Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) program for construction projects, including site oversight and data collection.
• Ensure construction contractors meet contractual safety performance expectations and agreement requirements, identifying and resolving issues promptly.
• Advise and assist construction project teams to protect personnel and the environment, ensuring compliance with all regulations and standards.
• Cultivate a EHS culture that promotes continuous learning and aligns with organizational strategies and goals.
• Collaborate with the wider Construction EHS team to implement best practices consistently, report project progress, analyze safety trends and data, and mitigate risk without compromising the Data Center's operational capacity or live environment.
