Environmental and Hazardous Materials Leader

Key Responsibilities

• Environmental & Hazardous Materials Program Ownership: Advancing FTI’s end‑to‑end hazardous materials and environmental compliance framework, including policies, processes, governance, standards, tools, and reporting. Defining what constitutes hazardous material for FTI and maintaining documentation aligned with EPA, OSHA, DOT, CERCLA/EPCRA, RCRA, and other federal/state requirements. Facilitating the implementation of a company‑wide hazardous material inventory tracking system, covering receiving, onsite movement, storage, product integration, and disposal.
• Compliance, Regulatory Management & Reporting: Ensuring compliance with EPA (CERCLA/EPCRA, Clean Air/Water Act, RCRA, TSCA where applicable), OSHA (hazard communication, exposure limits, hazardous material handling), DOT/PHMSA (hazmat transport, labeling, training) and relevant state/local permits, building codes, and storage requirements. Developing and submitting all required environmental reports, including Tier II/TRI when applicable; leading internal audits, corrective actions, and inspection readiness. Guaranteeing proper handling, storage, labeling, and disposal of chemicals and batteries, and creating standardized protocols for handling, ventilation, and waste management associated with industrial painting, welding, and metal fabrication to minimize environmental impact and personnel exposure.
• Emerging Technology Environmental Risk Leadership: Leading environmental hazard assessment for large‑format lithium or alternative chemistry batteries, including fire risk, thermal runaway, ventilation, separation distances, and SDS review. Partnering with engineering, procurement, logistics, and facilities teams to incorporate environmental risk considerations into new technologies and facility expansions.
• Risk Assessment & Hazard Analysis: Conducting or overseeing job hazard analyses (JHAs), environmental impact assessments, and industrial hygiene evaluations for chemical, biological, and physical risks. Coordinating workplace testing for chemicals, noise, air contaminants, and hazardous materials. Maintaining environmental emergency response plans in coordination with the Safety and Risk teams (spill response, battery incidents, exposure protocols).
• Technology, Tools & Data Systems: Recommending systems for hazardous material tracking, labeling, SDS management, and environmental data reporting. Supporting ERP tagging, metadata definitions, and item‑level environmental classification. Ensuring tools provide real‑time visibility and compliance readiness.
• Training & Culture Building: Developing training programs for hazardous material awareness and handling, environmental incident reporting, fires, spills, large battery hazards, DOT hazardous material transport requirements. Building a culture of environmental stewardship across manufacturing, job sites, new product development, and facility expansion.
• Cross‑Functional Leadership: Collaborating with Procurement, Safety, Engineering, Supply Chain, Facilities, Manufacturing, Field Operations, and Legal/Risk teams to promote consistency and facilitate the adoption of new processes.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Occupational Health, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Experience: 7+ years in Environmental or EHS roles with direct experience in hazardous materials management.
• Certifications: Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) credential, or commitment to obtain within a defined timeframe. Preferred certifications include CSP, CHMM, CIH, NEBOSH, ISO
  14001, HAZWOPER, OSHA
  30/HAZMAT transportation.
• Travel: 10‑20%.
• Work Schedule: 7AM – 5PM, Monday‑Friday; work may be performed at any time on any day of the week to meet business needs.
