- Participate in the annual EHS budget process and oversee related cost controls.
- Coordinate and support investigations of incidents and injuries, ensuring timely completion and effective corrective actions.
Safety Culture & Behavioral Programs

- Help reduce waste costs, manage hazardous materials properly, and support eco-efficient practices across the site.

- Coach line managers and supervisors on EHS policies, processes, and best practices.
- Serve as a contributing member of the Food Safety Team with an understanding of product quality and HACCP plans.

About You
You bring a solid foundation in Environmental Health & Safety and a passion for building a safe, sustainable, and efficient workplace. You hold a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, or Engineering (a master’s is a plus) and have 1–2 years of practical EHS experience in a manufacturing or industrial setting. You understand EHS regulations, waste and hazardous materials management, and safe work practices, and you’re comfortable contributing to food safety and HACCP requirements.
You excel at coaching, influencing, and partnering with others at all levels, and you communicate clearly—both in writing and in presentations. You’re a critical thinker who can identify root causes, prioritize effectively, and drive meaningful corrective actions. Strong organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks are natural strengths.
You’re proficient in MS Office and familiar with EHS systems such as Airsweb, Ariba, and related reporting platforms. You thrive in a collaborative environment, support change and innovation, and bring the initiative needed to help elevate the site’s overall EHS performance.
