About the Role
The Director, Manufacturing Environmental Health & Safety is accountable for safety and environmental performance across the organization's manufacturing sites. This role owns the strategy, governance, and leadership engagement model required to drive a world-class safety culture, where site and manufacturing leadership visibly own safety outcomes. This leader is measured on moving the manufacturing network toward world-class safety performance through disciplined management systems, rigorous incident investigation and prevention, and a leadership engagement cadence that puts plant managers, operations leaders, and front-line supervisors at the center of the safety culture.
Responsibilities
- Design and lead an enterprise leadership engagement model that puts plant managers, operations directors, and front-line supervisors visibly and personally in the safety loop.
- Build behavior-based safety programs and observation systems to shift the culture from compliance-driven to ownership-driven.
- Coach and hold site leadership accountable for safety leadership behaviors.
- Champion recognition and escalation mechanisms that reinforce safe behavior and rapidly surface at-risk conditions.
- Own the enterprise EHS management system across all manufacturing sites, ensuring consistent policy, standard work, and governance cadence.
- Establish a maturity model and site assessment/audit methodology for manufacturing EHS.
- Ensure the management system aligns with and supports certification to recognized standards and applicable regulatory frameworks.
- Partner with Manufacturing Excellence and Site Manufacturing leadership so safety standard work is embedded directly into production standard work.
- Drive proactive hazard identification and risk reduction across manufacturing processes, equipment, and facilities.
- Own environmental compliance for manufacturing operations, including permitting, waste management, emissions, and environmental reporting obligations.
- Ensure industrial hygiene programs meet or exceed regulatory requirements across all manufacturing sites.
- Maintain audit-readiness and lead the organization's response to regulatory inspections.
- Own the manufacturing EHS site- and enterprise-level scorecard reporting, trends and improvement activities.
- Report safety performance, culture maturity, and improvement roadmaps to executive leadership and the Board.
- Serve as the senior escalation point for serious injuries, environmental releases, or high-potential near-misses at any manufacturing site.
- Lead or oversee root cause investigation for significant incidents, ensuring disciplined corrective action closure and enterprise-wide sharing of lessons learned.
- Ensure a consistent, rigorous incident classification and reporting standard is applied across all sites.
- Build and lead a high-performing manufacturing EHS organization.
- Develop the technical and coaching capability of the EHS team.
- Partner with HR and Manufacturing Excellence to embed safety leadership expectations into leader onboarding, performance management, and succession planning.
Requirements
- Minimum of 12 years related experience to include 10 years of progressive EHS leadership experience within manufacturing operations.
- Minimum of five (5) years in the aerospace and defense industry or a comparably regulated, safety-critical manufacturing environment.
- Demonstrated track record of measurably improving safety KPIs across a multi-site manufacturing network.
- Proven experience designing and leading a leadership engagement model that changed how plant managers and front-line supervisors personally own safety.
- Deep working knowledge of OSHA, EPA, and applicable state EHS regulatory frameworks as they apply to manufacturing operations.
- Experience with ISO 45001 and/or ISO 14001 management systems.
- Experience leading serious incident investigation and corrective action processes, including direct engagement with regulators.
- Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Engineering, or related field.
- CSP, CIH, or equivalent professional certification strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead through urgency — comfortable personally engaging on the floor or at a site during a serious safety event.
- Experience building or scaling behavior-based safety (BBS) programs across a multi-site manufacturing network.
- Familiarity with AS9100/NADCAP-governed manufacturing environments and how safety standard work integrates with quality and production standard work.
