- Assist during regulatory inspections and act as a site-level EHS contact.

- Maintain EHS documentation, permits, and records.

- Promote a proactive, solutions-oriented safety culture.

- Support implementation of corporate EHS programs and initiatives.

- Working knowledge of OSHA regulations and general environmental compliance.

- Strong communication skills and comfort interacting with employees at all levels.
