Senior-Env​/Health​/Safety Program Lead

Environmental Health and Safety Role

This position requires office presence of a minimum of five days per week and is only located in the posted location. No relocation is offered.

Help build and sustain a high-reliability operating environment where environmental compliance, worker health, and operational safety are delivered consistently—especially under changing conditions. This role strengthens safe capacity by anticipating risk, surfacing weak signals early, learning from normal work, and partnering with the business to make it easy to do the right thing every day.

• Anticipate and identify risk:
  Proactively identify hazards, emerging trends, and weak signals (near misses, recurring deviations, incomplete controls). Use field engagement, observations, and data to elevate concerns early and drive timely containment actions.
• Diagnose the real story:
  Partner with frontline teams to understand how work is actually done (work-as-done vs. work-as-imagined). Apply Human & Organizational Performance (HOP), Learning From Normal Work, and Walk-Through/Talk-Through practices to understand contributing conditions and improve systems—not just behaviors.
• Maintain operational awareness:
  Stay connected to day-to-day operational realities across sites and functions. Translate operational changes into EHS impacts and ensure controls remain effective as conditions shift (workload, weather, staffing, equipment, contractors).
• Strengthen resilience and recovery:
  Lead and support incident response, investigations, and corrective action planning with a focus on learning and prevention. Build robust feedback loops to confirm that corrective actions work in practice and are sustained over time.
• Elevate expertise to where decisions are made:
  Ensure the best available technical and frontline knowledge informs decisions during planning, change, and response. Facilitate cross-functional problem-solving and help leaders act on what the work requires.
• Regulatory and governance excellence:
  Maintain compliance with applicable local, state, and federal EHS requirements; manage/coordinate agency interactions; and ensure documentation, audits, and reporting are accurate, timely, and decision useful.
• Capability building:
  Design and deliver practical training, coaching, and communications that improve safe capacity and environmental stewardship. Enable leaders and teams to recognize risk, escalate appropriately, and learn deliberately.
• Other duties as assigned:
  Support emergency preparedness/response, data analysis and performance insights, sustainability initiatives, and stakeholder communications as needed.

• Risks are identified early, escalated appropriately, and addressed before harm occurs.
• Compliance obligations are met reliably with clear evidence, disciplined follow-through, and credible agency readiness.
• Learning happens through the scope that our workers are the experts and the solution, not the problem to be fixed. Insights from normal work and events convert into practical improvements that teams actually adopt.
• Leaders and frontline teams experience EHS as a trusted partner that improves how work gets done—without adding unnecessary operational friction.

This position may contribute to compliance with environmental laws and regulations applicable to the role, including (but not limited to) fuel tanks, emergency and stand-by generators, boilers, hazardous waste, hazardous materials, batteries, manholes and vaults, water wells, linear and other construction projects, water discharge, and air emissions.

Experience:

3+ years of related EHS experience; demonstrated ability to assess risk, apply systems thinking, and drive corrective actions to completion; strong communication and stakeholder-partnering skills; ability to analyze and translate data into actionable insights.

Preferred Education:

Bachelor's degree (BS/BA); professional certification (CSP/CIH) strongly preferred; experience applying HOP / Learning from Normal Work / quality-improvement methods; experience supporting multi-site operations and agency…
