Peraton has an opening for an Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Specialist to join our team in Las Cruces, NM at the White Sands Complex (WSC).
Peraton’s Space Exploration Network Services and Evolution (SENSE) contract with NASA provides communications support for existing and upcoming science and human exploration missions and provides an opportunity to work on advanced space to ground communications.
Peraton is the prime contractor for NASA at the White Sands Complex (WSC) near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Operating here are two functionally identical satellite ground terminals: The White Sands Ground Terminal, and the Second TDRSS Ground Terminal. These ground terminals ensure uninterrupted communications between various ground stations, NASA’s orbiting fleet of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS), customer spacecraft (satellites), and the computer systems that support such spacecraft. WSC serves as an interface for distributing satellite data to control centers and scientists who then use the daily influx of data to expand our ever-growing knowledge of the Earth and the universe.
In this role, you’ll perform a variety of EHS activities to plan and implement the Peraton EHS Management System and comply with NASA standards and EHS regulations.
This position will be responsible for:
- Perform, coordinate and track EHS programmatic assessments and inspections.
- Develop, prepare, and maintain EHS programmatic guidance, policies, and procedures.
- Prepare and submit EHS reports, and documentation as required by NASA and federal and state agencies.
- Support the incident investigation and reporting process to ensure root causes are identified, corrective actions implemented to prevent future occurrence and appropriate reporting requirements are met.
- Support hazardous waste management programs to include monthly waste tracking, provide waste generator training and managing shipments of hazardous waste and universal waste.
- Support SENSE personnel in hazard assessments and systems safety analysis of design and construction projects, operations, maintenance, and other activities to ensure effective controls are implemented.
- Support and maintain the organization’s emergency preparedness and disaster response plan.
- Develop educational materials, provide EHS training and manage the EHS learning management system.
- Lead, participate and provide consultation to SENSE and NASA safety councils and committees.
- Maintain EHS systems including site workflow process, safety data sheet management system, and mishap reporting databases for the WSC.
