About The Position

Astro Pak is seeking an Environmental, Health, Safety and Regulatory Field Specialist to support its Field Operations team. The role involves visiting active work sites, identifying hazards, assessing safety practices, supporting incident investigations, and helping teams strengthen day-to-day safety. The position is suited to someone with 1–3 years of relevant experience who can build trust with technicians and operations leaders, communicate concerns clearly, and follow through on corrective actions. Data center experience is valuable, though transferable field safety experience is also encouraged. Regional travel is a central part of the role, up to 80% of the time, with on-site work across multiple locations. The specialist will assess safety at customer sites and company facilities, help teams plan safe work, support incident investigations, advise operations leaders, deliver safety training and communications, coordinate with stakeholders, maintain records, and help implement consistent EHS requirements across work locations. Work environments may periodically be dusty or noisy. Site visits may involve extended standing and walking, climbing, balancing, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, or crawling. The role also requires observing work areas, recognizing visual safety indicators, and judging distances and spatial relationships, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.
