EHS Senior Manager

Your Role

Senior EHS Manager for a cutting-edge semiconductor R&D environment undergoing infrastructure upgrades. You are the primary EHS authority, integrating EHS considerations into operations, research, and capital projects. You will ensure compliance with regulations and industry standards (OSHA, NFPA, SEMI S2/S8/S14). Drive proactive safety and risk management for high-hazard chemistries, process variability in R&D, cleanroom operations, and tool installations. Collaboration with R&D, Engineering, Facilities, and Construction teams is essential to manage capital projects, cleanroom expansions, and modified process safety systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive the site-wide EHS strategy aligned with corporate standards, regulatory requirements, and semiconductor industry best practices. Cultivate a proactive safety culture that supports innovation while upholding risk controls.
• Provide expert counsel to senior leadership on EHS risks associated with new technologies and chemistries.
• Lead programs in hazard identification via risk assessments, inspections and JHAs; emergency response; incident investigations; hazardous material handling; specialized training emphasizing semiconductor-specific hazards and cleanroom protocols.
• Lead HAZOP/What-If analyses for new equipment, process changes, and facility modifications; oversee critical process safety elements (MOC, Mechanical Integrity, Emergency Planning, Risk Management Programs).
• Develop and maintain EHS policies, procedures, and compliance programs during construction, retrofit, and operational ramp-up phases. Manage contractor safety programs, onboarding, training, permitting, and daily safety performance.
• Integrate safety into capital projects and cleanroom expansions with a focus on risk control.
