Safety Lead (EHS)
Posted Updated
About the role
Own environmental, health, and safety for an energetics manufacturer with a live tactical test range. You will build the written safety program, drive OSHA/ATF/EPA alignment, and make safety a designed-in discipline rather than a reaction — directly supporting Bravo's shift out of firefighting mode. In this environment, safety leadership protects both people and the mission.
What success looks like in this role
- By day 30: A site-wide EHS risk assessment across manufacturing, energetics spaces, and the range is complete.
- By day 60: Core written safety procedures, job hazard analyses, and a training/audit calendar are published.
- By day 90: Incident reporting and corrective-action tracking are live, and you pass an internal audit against OSHA/ATF requirements.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain the EHS program: written procedures, JHAs, SDS, and training
- Ensure OSHA, EPA, ATF, and DOT/hazmat compliance across sites and the range
- Lead incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions
- Run safety audits, inspections, and drills; own PPE and hazardous-materials handling standards
- Partner with Compliance, Facilities, and Production on safe operations at scale
Qualifications
Required
- 5+ years of EHS experience in manufacturing or hazardous-materials environments
- Working knowledge of OSHA, EPA, and hazmat regulations
- Experience building written safety programs and running audits
- Bachelor's in safety, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- U.S. person; able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance
Preferred
- Energetics, explosives, chemical, or defense manufacturing background
- ATF explosives storage/handling and DOT hazmat expertise
- CSP or ASP certification
