The Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Specialist II is responsible for supporting and strengthening the organization’s health, safety, and environmental programs across manufacturing and operational facilities. This role serves as a hands-on resource to employees, supervisors, managers, and leadership by helping ensure compliance with applicable regulations, company policies, and established safety standards.

The HSE Specialist II conducts routine inspections and assessments, supports incident investigations, identifies and helps mitigate workplace hazards, and partners with operations to drive corrective actions and continuous improvement. The role also contributes to employee training, safety awareness, environmental compliance, and the development and implementation of HSE programs.

This position requires a proactive, visible presence within the workplace and the ability to build strong relationships while holding teams accountable to safety and environmental expectations. The Specialist II is expected to work independently on day-to-day HSE activities and use sound judgment to identify when issues require escalation or additional support.
