Summary
Description:
The Enterprise Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager is a senior subject‑matter expert who partners with regional Business Areas (BAs) to embed MDA Space Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) policies, drive environmental, health & safety performance—including greenhouse‑gas (GHG) emission management—and support continuous‑improvement across all sites. While the Business Areas (BAs) own day-to-day safety, this role ensures those operations aggregate into a cohesive, compliant, and sustainable enterprise-wide program.
It is a position of central governance designed to eliminate silos and standardize risk management across different geographic and operational units. The role influences BA EHS teams without direct line‑management authority, providing strategic guidance, an independent perspective, and best‑practice recommendations while measuring performance against corporate standards.
