7h•Hybrid

About The Position

In this role, you will help build Metrea’s enterprise‑wide Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) compliance system and prepare all Groups and Capability Areas for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification. You will also support those areas that already hold ISO certifications to ensure they maintain compliance, strengthen their systems, and remain audit‑ready year‑round. You will conduct internal audits, identify compliance gaps, and work directly with local teams to fix issues before external auditors arrive. You will also develop and mentor a virtual network of EHS representatives across the company, most of whom are not EHS specialists, to ensure every area consistently meets the standards required for enterprise certification. You will be successful if you can turn complex regulations into simple, workable practices that function across a diverse, global, aviation‑focused organization.
