GE Aerospace

6d • $137,000 - $182,000

About The Position

Colibrium Additive is seeking a Global Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Leader to establish, scale, and continuously improve a risk-based EHS program across our global operations. This leader will set the strategic direction for EHS, build a strong culture of care and accountability, and use data, technology, and cross-functional partnership to keep our people safe and our operations compliant, resilient, and future-ready. The role suits a strategic and hands-on leader with deep EHS expertise, strong influencing skills, and a track record of driving measurable improvement in complex, multi-site industrial environments — including those with additive manufacturing and metal powder hazards.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Health, Engineering, or a related technical field from an accredited institution, or equivalent qualification.
• Multiple years of progressive EHS leadership experience, ideally in a global and/or multi-site manufacturing environment and/or field services organization.
• Strong working knowledge of current EHS regulations, standards, and industry best practices, along with the judgment to apply them pragmatically.
• Business fluency in English required; German and/or French is a plus given the site footprint.
• Ability and willingness to travel approximately 30%, with flexibility for more during peak project periods.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree preferred.
• CSP, CIH, NEBOSH, or equivalent professional EHS certification strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success building and scaling EHS programs across complex operations and driving measurable improvement in safety outcomes.
• Domain expertise in high-hazard operations, including additive manufacturing environments, metal powder hazards, and process safety management.
• Comfort using EHS data platforms, dashboards, and digital tools to drive decisions and reporting.
• Strong influencing, communication, and stakeholder management skills across all organizational levels, from the shop floor to senior leadership.
• Analytical, structured problem-solving ability, with a track record of translating data into prioritized, actionable improvement plans.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and sustain a global EHS strategy, policies, and standards aligned with business priorities and regulatory requirements.
• Establish governance mechanisms to ensure consistent EHS expectations, accountability, and execution across all sites.
• Lead enterprise and site-level risk assessments, EHS audits, and management system reviews; prioritize corrective and preventive actions to reduce risk.
• Implement sustainable controls for key hazards relevant to the business, including high-risk operations such as metal powder/process safety.
• Use EHS data, analytics, and leading indicators to identify trends, predict risk, and prioritize resources — moving the organization from reactive to predictive safety management.
• Drive a proactive, no-blame EHS culture through visible leadership, engagement routines, and reinforcement of safe behaviors at all levels — one where employees feel psychologically safe raising concerns, reporting near-misses, and stopping unsafe work.
• Coach, develop, and enable site EHS leaders and coordinators; ensure consistent application of standards and effective local ownership.
• Design and deploy effective EHS training programs to build competence, awareness, and compliance, leveraging digital and e-learning tools where they improve reach and retention.
• Support employee wellbeing initiatives that address physical and mental health, recognizing wellbeing as integral to a sustainable safety culture.
• Define, monitor, and communicate EHS performance metrics, including metrics tied to sustainability and ESG commitments; analyze trends and translate insights into targeted improvement actions.
• Provide clear reporting for leadership reviews, including progress versus goals, systemic risks, and improvement roadmap status.
• Lead incident investigations and root cause analyses; ensure timely, transparent closure and verification of corrective actions.
• Drive organizational learning by sharing insights, improving leading indicators, and focusing on prevention-oriented actions.
• Partner with Production, Engineering, Service, HR, and Legal to embed EHS and ergonomics considerations into core business processes, change management, facility planning, and investment decisions.
• Maintain awareness of regulatory changes, emerging risks (including those tied to new materials, automation, and additive manufacturing processes), and industry best practices, keeping the business compliant and proactive.
• Build and maintain an active network with EHS colleagues across GE Aerospace and the broader industry to share best practices and accelerate adoption of proven approaches.
