About The Position

This role is a senior Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) professional responsible for providing technical expertise and thought leadership across Jefferson Lab's seven ES&H program areas [i.e., 1) Worker Safety & Health, 2) Work Planning & Control, 3) Accelerator Safety, 4) Radiological Controls, 5) Environmental Management, 6) Emergency Management, and 7) Occupational Medicine]. The position oversees and coordinates deployed safety professionals, ensuring a consistent, strategic approach to ES&H implementation across all divisions. Key responsibilities include identifying and managing ES&H requirements derived from DOE Orders, JLab policies, and applicable regulations; integrating those requirements into project planning, budgets, and schedules; and supporting design and procurement efforts to ensure effective application of ES&H policies and procedures. Jefferson Laboratory is entering an exciting new phase as it transitions to a new operating contract and positions itself for expansion. This transformation includes several major projects that this role will interface with, provide advice to, and help ensure their success. This role will also assist the ES&H Associate Laboratory Director with creating a holistic vision that enables safe and efficient mission success through the use of AI-enabled tools. While a strong underpinning in codes and standards will be essential, flexibility and ingenuity are needed to find novel ways of achieving desired outcomes and creating conditions that make it easier to obtain the desired workforce behaviors.
