Requirements

4+ years of EHS experience with direct accountability for a site's safety and compliance program OR 4+ years managing externally regulated compliance programs in mature industries (military, nuclear, aviation, pharma/medical device, aerospace, or similar). This experience must also be augmented with additional time in scaling enterprises.
Has built or substantially stood up a program in a new facility, a new organization, or a rapidly scaling operation.
A track record of operationalizing regulations: you can take a standard written at a high level and turn it into something a crew member can act on during a shift.
Working knowledge of OSHA general industry standards, or the ability to get there quickly; construction standards a plus.
Experience with hazardous materials, chemical safety, or waste compliance.
Comfortable running a program on digital tools and quick to adopt new software.
Credible on the floor: you can set a standard, explain why it matters, and hold the line respectfully.
On-site in Billerica, MA, 5 days/week, with travel to field sites as needed

Nice To Haves

Experience managing safety for field or construction crews is a strong plus
Professional certification (CSP, ASP, CHST, CHMM, or similar) is a plus

Responsibilities

Build a safety culture people buy into: clear standards, consistent enforcement, and practical solutions developed with the people doing the work.
Operationalize regulatory requirements. Turn OSHA general industry, construction, and environmental standards into clear, practical processes and expectations for every workstation and field task: hazard assessments, work instructions, visual controls, and training that builders can understand and follow without a binder.
Own the EHS program and compliance, including recordkeeping, written programs, inspections, and regulatory filings.
Maintain hazard assessment and PPE programs for the entire facility, ensuring safe operations grounded in actual requirements.
Define and own environmental compliance, including hazardous materials and waste: chemical inventory and SDS management, generator status, waste streams, universal waste, and flammable storage. Partner with facilities to set clear ownership of permits and environmental obligations.
Lead safety for high-risk work: working at heights on modules, overhead lifting and rigging, powered industrial trucks, lockout/tagout, machine guarding, and robotic and automated cell safety.
Extend the program to field operations at project sites, including coordination with general contractors and other employers on shared sites.
Own safety training and certification. Maintain the training matrix, run a train-the-trainer model with internal subject matter experts, and track completion so no one performs a task they aren't qualified for.
Formalize stop-work authority and the escalation path behind it, so anyone on the floor or in the field can stop unsafe work without hesitation.
Run incident and near-miss reporting, investigation, and corrective action, and close the loop so recurring issues become better standard work.
Own emergency preparedness: emergency action plans, drills, fire prevention, and coordination with the local fire department and our insurance carrier's risk engineering team.
Put EHS data into the tools the factory already uses, so inspections, corrective actions, and metrics are visible and acted on.
Document the program well enough to replicate at future facilities.
