Job Description

Job postings are based at a Process Safety Management (PSM) covered manufacturing facility where highly hazardous chemicals (substances possessing toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive properties in threshold quantities) are used in industrial processes.

Key Responsibilities

EHS&S Program Development & Execution: Assist in developing, updating, and supporting sitewide EHS&S policies, standards, work instructions, and training materials across critical safety domains, including Lockout/Tagout (isolation of hazardous energy), Confined Space Entry, Work at Heights, Electrical Safety, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Waste Management, and Hot Work.
Hazard & Exposure Assessments: Perform comprehensive chemical and equipment hazard assessments. Recommend built-in engineering, process, and equipment safety features to minimize employee exposure to physical and chemical hazards while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
Industrial Hygiene & Exposure Studies: Conduct employee exposure monitoring studies (noise, airborne contaminants, chemical exposures) within training and qualification limits as required.
Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis: Lead and support internal inspections, audits, near-miss reporting, and incident investigations. Define robust corrective actions (CAPA) and partner with site personnel to track actions through to completion.
Emergency Response & On-Call Support: Serve on the Sila Emergency Response Team (ERT) as Safety Officer, participating in designated on-call rotation schedules to provide off-hours site coverage and emergency support.
Data Analytics & Continuous Improvement: Track and analyze event and near-miss trends to educate site personnel, inform safety committees, and proactively build risk-mitigation measures into site operating systems.
Regulatory Compliance & Research: Accurately research and analyze relevant federal, state, and local regulations, codes, and industry standards to guide Sila’s ongoing compliance efforts.
Documentation & Safety Leadership: Maintain EHS&S records, data, and compliance documentation in a consistent, audit-ready manner. Actively represent the EHS&S team across site safety committees and councils.

Requirements

Sila is seeking an EH&S Specialist to join our Environmental, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) team in supporting a fast-growing, 24/7 manufacturing operations site. Reporting directly to the EHS&S Site Manager, this individual contributor will play a pivotal role in developing, implementing, and continuously improving fit-for-purpose EHS&S compliance programs and risk reduction strategies.
You are a pragmatic, hands-on safety professional who thrives in a dynamic manufacturing environment. You excel at collaborating directly with cross-functional shop-floor teams ("Silazens") to establish clear safeguards, work instructions, and standards that prevent high-consequence safety and environmental events. You advocate for simplifying safety processes—making it effortless for colleagues to work safely and difficult to do work unsafely. You bring a strong continuous improvement mindset, high adaptability, and a deep commitment to protecting our workforce, environment, and surrounding community.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Science, Health, Chemistry, or a related science-based discipline preferred.
Experience: Minimum of 2+ years of hands-on Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) program support experience within a manufacturing, chemical processing, advanced materials, or fast-paced industrial environment.
Regulatory Knowledge: Solid foundation in OSHA, EPA, and state-level EHS regulations and standards (e.g., LOTO, Hazard Communication, Industrial Hygiene, Confined Space).
Technical & Analytical Skills: Strong analytical, problem-solving, and time-management skills with a demonstrated ability to meet deadlines in a high-paced, evolving operational environment.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to build strong working relationships with shop-floor technicians, engineers, and executive leaders.
Software Proficiency: Proficient with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office Suite, and EHS management software/databases.
Certifications (Preferred): ASP (Associate Safety Professional) or relevant safety/HAZWOPER/ERT certifications are a plus.
