Experienced EHS professional and chemical engineer delivering compliance-driven operational improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a degreed Chemical Engineer (BS, EHS emphasis) with 10+ years of Environmental, Health & Safety and project/operations management experience across petrochemical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, packaging and technology sectors. I lead permitting, multimedia compliance (air, water, waste), audits, root cause investigations, PHA/HAZOP facilitation and continuous improvement initiatives, and I have a verifiable record of sites operating without regulatory penalties or OSHA-recordable incidents under my oversight.
I am skilled at developing and implementing wastewater and waste minimization plans, environmental management systems (ISO 14001/ISO 9001/OSHAS 18001 familiarity), air program management and training (OSHA Outreach, HAZWOPER, DOT HAZMAT), and cross-functional team leadership. I am available immediately, flexible for remote or on-site roles, willing to travel or relocate, and focused on long-term opportunities where I can apply my compliance, permitting and continuous-improvement strengths to deliver measurable environmental and safety results.
