NATURE AND SCOPE

The EHS specialist will be a member of an experienced, inter-disciplinary EHS team. Each team member is the primary contact for EHS efforts in one or more business areas (e.g., manufacturing, packaging, labs, development and/or facilities, etc.). The specialist will interact and support all levels of personnel in his/her supported area. This support will include addressing EHS concerns/questions, facilitating EHS corrective actions, performing risk assessments using a standardized template, conducting training, supporting area EHS team meetings, attending daily job board meetings, and participating on investigation teams. The facility operates 24 hrs per day, 6 days per week. This is a M-F, days position, however, supporting the assigned area(s) will require occasional work outside regular hours.

Each team member owns multiple EHS processes (e.g., lockout/tagout, air emissions, working at heights, contractor safety, confined space entry, lab safety, hazardous waste, wastewater, and/or sustainability, etc.). Assignment of the programs is done collaboratively with the team, based on skill set and interest. The process owner is responsible for the written programs, training development, and evaluation of program effectiveness.
