About The Position

The EHS Technician II independently performs day-to-day environmental, health, and safety field work to help keep team members safe around fabrication equipment, forklifts, respiratory hazards, and automated systems. The role works with general direction from the EHS & Security Supervisor and day-to-day work direction from the EHS Technician Lead, handling routine issues without close oversight and escalating complex or non-routine issues. The position works primarily on the shop floor in fabrication, welding, and automated or robotic equipment areas. It requires conducting inspections, delivering safety training, evaluating forklift operators, conducting respirator fit testing, investigating incidents, supporting industrial hygiene sampling, reviewing contractor safety materials, and maintaining EHS records and data. The technician also supports equipment risk assessments, corrective-action follow-up, EHS meetings, team-member coaching, applicable environmental and safety procedures, ISO 9001 responsibilities, and Lean activities. Training and certification activities may be performed only when the technician is appropriately trained, qualified, and authorized; final responsibility for program requirements and approvals remains with the designated company authority. The work environment includes exposure to noise, heat, dust, and other industrial conditions, and required PPE must be worn. The role requires extended standing and walking, occasional bending, reaching, climbing, kneeling, or handling equipment and training materials, and occasionally lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds. Drug testing is required per company policy. Overtime may be needed.
