Enable Environmental Performance

• Handle projects aimed at reducing waste, emissions, and energy consumption in line with carbon neutrality goals.
• Partner with key collaborators to track and improve environmental critical metrics.
• Ensure EHS systems are also embedded in contractor operations to maintain consistent standards across the board.

Monitor, Investigate, Improve

• Implement proactive risk management programs, audits, inspections, and emergency planning.
• Investigate and report incidents using root cause analysis tools (IPS/UPS), ensuring lessons learned prevent future occurrences.
• Stay ahead of evolving EHS regulations and technology to advise management

Educate and Empower

• Maintain accurate training records for employees, contractors, and visitors.
• Create awareness and ensure understanding of everyone’s role in achieving a zero-incident culture.

• Minimum 2–5 years’ EHS experience in a manufacturing setting.
