• Manage environmental compliance programs, including hazardous materials and waste, spill prevention and response, stormwater, air quality, and related requirements.
• Establish and monitor subcontractor qualification, safety planning, compliance, performance, and corrective-action processes.
• Leverage technology to improve EHS reporting, tracking, notifications, and organizational visibility, including electronic incident reporting and corrective-action monitoring.
• Develop monthly, quarterly, and annual safety metrics; analyze incident, audit, training, and compliance data; maintain site inspection and audit schedules; and report significant risks, trends, and unresolved issues to senior leadership.
