What you will do

This will be onsite 5 days a week at our San Antonio location. In this role you will have oversight and accountability for the Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) operations at a single plant and may assist in some EHS activities at other sites, as needed.

You will provide technical support on EHS matters across your plant and drive initiatives as an individual contributor or leader of project teams to address specific changes or issues that apply across the plant.

How you will do it

• Guide Plant Management and hourly staff in analyzing incidents and their related trends, including injuries, blood leads, internal spills, external releases, potential permit non-compliances, compliance with reporting deadlines and regulatory inspections, to ensure that root causes, complete risk assessments, and associated preventative measures are identified and implemented in a timely manner.
• Represent the EHS function in obtaining approval for needed capital and expenses to address EHS risks and opportunities.
