Environmental Health & Safety

Environmental Health & Safety Lead

Nashville, TN | OPERATIONS, Safety | In office | Full-time

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

We’re looking for a EHS Lead who can keep up with the pace of tunneling operations and proactively manage risk in a high-pressure, underground environment. This role supports a hard rock Main Beam TBM project and requires a sharp, field-first safety mindset. You’ll be embedded with operations teams to ensure compliance, drive safe behaviors, and continuously improve health, safety, and environmental outcomes.

• Monitor daily field operations to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local EHS regulations and company policies
• Perform regular tunnel and surface inspections, including pre-shift walkthroughs, equipment checks, air quality sampling, and confined space protocols
• Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective/preventative action implementation
• Conduct job hazard analyses (JHAs), risk assessments, and toolbox talks with crews
• Maintain EHS documentation, training records, and regulatory reports
• Support emergency response preparedness and training exercises
• Collaborate with superintendents, miners, and technicians to identify and mitigate job-specific risks

• 7+ years of experience in construction or heavy industrial EHS roles - tunneling, mining, or oil & gas preferred
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA, MSHA (preferred), confined space, LOTO, and respiratory protection standards
• Experience conducting field audits and writing JHAs, incident reports, and environmental compliance documentation
• Comfortable working in underground environments and around heavy equipment
• CSP, CHST, or equivalent certification is a plus

We’re a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.

We offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.
