About The Position

The EHS Compliance and Integration Specialist provides independent, corporate-level assurance that EHS controls are effective across Loenbro’s regions. The Specialist serves in the lead auditor pool for the COMPASS Audit Program, validates results of region-led internal evaluations, and verifies that corrective actions are closed and effective.
