United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) and Facilities Leader with 18+ years of experience driving compliance, operational safety, and continuous improvement across manufacturing and construction environments. I build and manage EHS Management Systems that align to regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
I lead incident investigations and root cause analysis to deliver sustainable corrective actions, and I drive behavior-based safety initiatives through training, communication, and leadership engagement. I’m known for strengthening safety culture, improving accountability, and using audits and inspection programs to identify hazards, track trends, and eliminate recurring risk.
Alongside EHS, I oversee facilities and maintenance operations, including preventive and predictive maintenance programs, and I manage emergency response, security, and crisis management planning. I’ve also led contractor safety programs (ISNetworld, PICS, PEC) and supported high-impact safety work like LOTO, machine guarding, ventilation, ergonomics, fall protection, PPE, and confined space planning.
