Led by Founder & CEO, Rob Roy, we believe in revolutionary innovation, operational excellence and the principle of karma. Switch is where talented people come together to EVOLVE the digital world.

We believe that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about the people, culture, and purpose that make it happen. Every Switch team member contributes to a mission greater than themselves: to create the world’s most advanced digital infrastructure that powers the progress of humanity.

The Regional Director of Environmental, Health & Safety (Construction) role owns the design, execution, and scaling of a world-class EHS program across one of the company’s most complex and high-risk construction portfolios. Operating at the intersection of hyperscale data center delivery, private-equity oversight, and zero-tolerance safety expectations, this leader is accountable for embedding EHS into the DNA of how the business plans, builds, and delivers mission-critical infrastructure.

With billions of dollars in active construction and multiple concurrent programs—including greenfield builds, utilities, substations, and accelerated schedules—this role requires a hands-on, highly credible professional who can set the standard for “what good looks like,” influence without bureaucracy, and drive consistent outcomes across stakeholder teams, general contractors, and an extended supply chain. Success in this role is measured not only by regulatory compliance and risk reduction, but by the ability to enable customer commitments, protect long-term enterprise value, and ensure the safe, uninterrupted delivery of hyperscale environments where failure is not an option.

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a construction-focused EHS program at scale, partner deeply with senior construction and design leaders, and shape an enterprise platform poised for sustained growth.

Lead regional EHS budgeting and resource planning to ensure efficient use of people, tools, and programs.

Manage and develop regional EHS team members, setting priorities, reviewing performance, and building capability.
