We are seeking a Senior Manager, EHS - Robotics to provide senior, hands-on safety leadership across multiple sites.

- Strong technical knowledge across occupational safety and health, with depth in areas such as machine safety, ergonomics, electrical safety, hazardous energy, material handling, hazardous materials, contractor safety, and incident investigation
- Demonstrated experience supporting complex sites through rapid scale, construction and operational overlap, commissioning, process change, or transition to extended or 24/7 operations
- Strong working knowledge of OSHA and Cal/OSHA requirements and the ability to translate regulatory obligations into practical, scalable operating programs
- Demonstrated success influencing senior technical and operational leaders, especially where EHS does not directly own the work and decisions must be made through partnership
- Experience building EHS systems, programs, metrics, vendor support, and operating rhythms for an emerging or rapidly scaling organization
