  • Conduct and manage risk assessments, audits, and compliance reviews; recommend and track corrective actions
  • Provide timely metrics and trend analysis to executive leadership; collaborate with management to implement actions that reduce safety risk
  • Develop and implement comprehensive EHS training programs for construction and development teams, ensuring consistent adoption of policies, procedures, and best practice
  • Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
