  • Ensure compliance with all federal, state, local, and corporate HSE regulations and standards
  • Integrate HOP principles into existing HSE systems, processes, and programs
  • Develop and deliver training on human performance, error reduction, and safety leadership across all levels of the organization

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

  • 68 years experience in heavy industrial or highhazard manufacturing
  • Deep knowledge of regulatory frameworks and compliance strategy
  • Strong leadership, crisis management, and decision-making skills
