About The Position

The EHS Compliance and Integration Specialist provides independent, Corporate-level assurance that EHS controls are working in the field across Loenbro’s Regions. The Specialist serves in the lead auditor pool for the COMPASS Audit Program, validates Region-led internal evaluations, verifies corrective-action closure and effectiveness, and performs frequent Corporate Compliance audits. The role may facilitate high-level TapRooT® investigations, support EHS integration of current and future acquisitions, monitor state-specific regulations, and help build the internal audit, corrective-action, and documentation practices needed for ISO 45001 compliance. The Specialist reports directly to the EHS Corporate Compliance and Integration Manager and works across Regions as business needs require. The role maintains independence from Regional leadership when validating results, does not lead COMPASS audits of their home Region, and does not lead the same Region’s audit twice consecutively. Regional EHS teams retain responsibility for daily inspections, JHAs, and routine compliance; the Specialist partners with them on evaluations and corrective-action follow-up. The position requires regular travel within the assigned Region and to other Regions for audits, investigations, and integration work. Work takes place at active construction sites, fabrication shops, and client facilities, potentially in extreme weather, at heights, and around energized equipment and heavy machinery. The Specialist must wear required PPE and meet site- and client-specific access requirements, including drug and alcohol testing and site orientations. Physical requirements include walking, climbing ladders and stairs, standing for extended periods, and working on uneven terrain. A valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record are required.
