• Oversee the site EHS budget to support compliance, training, PPE, corrective actions, emergency preparedness, and risk-reduction priorities
• Incident Management & Risk Reduction
• Lead incident, near-miss, first-aid, and hazard investigations using root cause methodology; ensure corrective and preventive actions address systemic causes

• Analyze incident trends, audit findings, near misses, and exposure data to identify risk patterns, recommend practical controls, and incorporate opportunities for coaching
• Inspections, Audits & Regulatory Compliance
• Plan and conduct routine safety walkthroughs, program audits, regulatory self-assessments, and compliance inspections; verify corrective actions are completed and effective
• Serve as the site EHS contact during corporate, third-party, customer, insurance, or regulatory reviews; prepare documentation and coordinate follow-up actions
• Maintain required EHS records, permit obligations, environmental compliance documentation, and regulatory reporting with accuracy and timeliness
• Training, Communication & Employee Engagement
• Develop, deliver, and maintain EHS training for regulatory, site-specific, and operational requirements, including new hire orientation, LOTO, PPE, hazard communication, emergency response, forklift/PIT, machine guarding awareness, hot work, confined space, and other applicable programs
• Track training completion, identify gaps, evaluate training effectiveness, and partner with supervisors to ensure employee understanding and accountability
• Coach employees, supervisors, and managers on hazard recognition, safe work expectations, incident reporting, and effective corrective action follow-through
• Occupational Health Partnership
• Collaborate with Occupational Health on first response, recordability support, exposure data, medical surveillance, return-to-work coordination, emergency response planning, and employee health-related EHS needs
• Partner with operations, maintenance, engineering, quality, contractors, and regional EHS resources to integrate safety and environmental expectations into daily operations, projects, equipment changes, and process improvements
• Additional Responsibilities
• Support emergency preparedness, evacuation drills, spill response planning, and site-specific emergency procedures
• Use EHS systems and data to maintain accurate records, track corrective actions, monitor trends, and communicate performance to site and regional leadership
• Contribute to enterprise EHS initiatives by sharing site-level feedback, lessons learned, and practical solutions that can be scaled across Victaulic operations

• Ability to walk the production floor for extended periods, climb ladders, and wear PPE including respirators, with exposure to noise, heat, and industrial equipment in an indoor/outdoor mix
