Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on Senior EHS Program Manager to develop, implement, and continuously improve EHS programs across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

EHS Program & Policy Development
Develop, implement, and continuously improve company EHS policies, standards, programs, procedures, and safe work practices
Translate regulatory requirements, industry practices, operational risks, and lessons learned into practical company requirements
Own programs from initial development through implementation, field validation, and continuous improvement
Establish clear program responsibilities, training requirements, and measures of effectiveness
Electrical & High-Power Test Safety
Develop and implement the company's electrical safety program, including NFPA 70E-based safe work practices, arc flash risk assessment, energized work permits, and qualified worker requirements
Partner with test engineering on safe work systems for high-power electrical test operations, including test area controls, interlocks, barriers, and emergency response
Support lockout/tagout (LOTO) implementation across manufacturing and test equipment
Participate in equipment safety reviews and buy-offs for new manufacturing and test equipment, including safety logic, controls, guarding, and energy isolation
Risk Assessment & Hands-On Partnership
Lead risk assessments for routine, non-routine, and higher-risk work, applying the hierarchy of controls with the people performing the work
Spend meaningful time in operational areas; observe work firsthand before developing or changing requirements
Develop safe work practices, procedures, permits, checklists, and qualification requirements where appropriate and verify they work under actual operating conditions
Challenge both unsafe work practices and EHS requirements that are unnecessarily complex, ineffective, or disconnected from the work
Leadership, Training & Continuous Improvement
Serve as a trusted EHS advisor to site and operational leadership; provide clear recommendations when safety, operational, and business considerations compete
Lead cross-functional initiatives and integrate EHS into normal business processes without relying on direct authority
Partner with subject-matter experts to develop practical, competency-based training that reflects actual work, hazards, and equipment
Evaluating field application, not just course completion.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in environmental health & safety, Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience

Demonstrated success working directly with frontline employees, technical teams, and site leadership

Ability to travel periodically (California - Bay Area)

Experience supporting high-power electrical test operations
Experience developing multi-site or company-wide EHS programs and competency-based qualification programs
