Job Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Environmental, Health & Safety Specialist to support our field operations across the West. In this role, you will own safety across a group of hubs where vehicles are received, inspected, repaired, cleaned, staged, and handed to members, and execute the company's environmental program at your sites. You will run site inspections, investigate incidents, keep waste handling and environmental records inspection-ready, deliver training, and serve as the EHS partner to site leadership. California brings its own safety obligations, including a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program, workplace violence prevention, and heat illness prevention, and you will own their implementation at your sites. This role is field-based, with most of your time spent in shop bays and lots rather than at a desk, and requires regular travel across assigned sites.

What You Will Do

• California Safety Compliance
• Safety Program Management
• Environmental Program Execution
• Incident Management
• Training and Site Capability

What Drives Success for This Role:

• Demonstrated ability to run incident investigations to root cause and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Experience training and influencing front-line employees and their leaders, including people who do not report to you.
• Strong documentation and recordkeeping discipline, since much of this work is provable only on paper.
• Willingness to travel regularly across assigned sites (40–50%).
• Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record (per company standards).

Preferred Skills:

• Certification such as ASP, CSP, GSP, CHMM, or OSHA 30 General Industry.
• Experience supporting a multi-site network rather than a single facility.
• Experience standing up EHS programs at a new facility from the design phase.
• Familiarity with vehicle lifts, tire and wheel service, EV high-voltage safety, and lot and yard traffic management.
• Experience implementing SB 553 workplace violence prevention plans or Cal/OSHA heat illness prevention programs.
• Experience with respiratory protection programs, spray booth compliance, or paint and refinish operations.

What Tops Of The Tank:

• Rest & Relax! Potential to accrue 80 hours of PTO your first year, and up to 120 hours in later years plus multiple company paid holidays and 40 hours of Sick time.
• Save For Your Future! 401(k) with company match from day one of hire
• Benefits: Excellent, low-cost healthcare coverage including: medical, dental, vision, eligibility day one
• Drive A Flexcar! Discounted employee rate on Flexcar products and no annual membership fee
