EH&S Specialist; Third Shift

The EH&S Specialist serves as the frontline health and safety champion across extended shift and 24/7 operations, providing hands‑on, real‑time oversight to protect personnel, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive a proactive safety culture. This role operates with heightened accountability during non‑standard hours — including overnight, weekend, and rotating shifts — when direct management supervision is reduced and autonomous safety judgment is critical.

The ideal candidate combines technical environmental, health, and safety expertise with strong interpersonal skills to influence behavior, respond to emergencies, and maintain rigorous documentation across all shift cycles. This position reports to the EH&S Coordinator and supports multi‑site operations across the east region.
