DD&R Health and Safety Manager

Overview

At VNSFS, we solve some of the nation's most challenging nuclear cleanup, remediation, decommissioning and demolition (D&D), waste management, and environmental restoration projects. Our work protects workers, communities, and the environment while supporting critical federal missions.

We're looking for a Safety Manager who wants to do more than ensure compliance.

We're seeking a leader who is passionate about people, embraces innovation, and wants to help modernize the safety profession through technology, data-driven decision making, and continuous improvement.

Our work locations include remote functions, onsite support and moderate travel to provide corporate safety management.
