Conduct field safety assessments, job site inspections, and hazard identification activities across facility operations and contractor work scopes to verify that risks are recognized and controlled before work begins, and that work execution aligns with established safe work practices.
Conduct and organize role-based safety and environmental training for SSB operations staff, including sourcing and coordinating third-party delivery where applicable, covering HAZWOPER, emergency response, respiratory protection, equipment operation, chemical safety, spill response, and site-specific procedural training; maintain training records in alignment with the SSB training matrix.
Investigate incidents, near misses, and high-potential events using structured methodology; identify contributing factors; drive corrective and preventive actions; and support a culture where reporting is valued and learning drives improvement.
Manage site-level environmental compliance responsibilities, including air permit data collection (OEPA), stormwater/NPDES inspections, Tier II reporting, SPCC inspection and training, and waste tracking, in coordination with the UGIES Environmental Department.
Perform other duties as assigned.
