Major Duties

As a Safety and Health Occupational Health Manager within the Office of the Regional Director, Northeast Region, some of your specific duties will include: - Serve as the primary safety and emergency management contact for the Regional Director, providing guidance and ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and DOT regulations across all field locations. - Direct and support Collateral Duty Safety Program Coordinators, evaluate hazardous activities, and deliver specialized safety training for diverse environments, including labs, fieldwork, and high-risk operations. - Implement and monitor Bureau and DOI safety programs, conduct audits, review hazard analyses, and lead complex technical safety reviews to ensure compliance and protect employee health. - Coordinate emergency preparedness and continuity plans, participate in national-level exercises, and perform Safety Officer duties during major incidents using Incident Command System protocols. - Develop safety standards and guidelines, report regional safety performance, and collaborate on committees to enhance occupational health programs and mitigate risks through proactive strategies. Conditions of Employment for this Position: As a condition of employment for accepting this position, you may be required to serve a 1-year probationary period during which your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest will be evaluated. This probationary period is an extension of the appointment process and therefore requires the agency to determine if continued employment would advance the public interest, meet the organization goals and mission of the agency, and/or otherwise promote the efficiency of the service. In determining if your employment advances the public interest, the agency will consider: - your performance and conduct; - the needs and interests of the agency; - whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the agency or the Government; and - whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service. Under applicable law, the employment of an individual serving a probationary or trial period automatically terminates when that period ends unless the agency affirmatively certifies, in writing, that the individual's employment should continue and that their appointment should be finalized. In the absence of agency action to affirmatively certify continued employment beyond the probationary or trial period, such appointments are terminated. Upon completion of your probationary period your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest.
