About the Role

The Regional H&S Specialist plays a critical field-facing role in supporting day-to-day health and safety compliance across active project sites, with a strong emphasis on energy services and environmental field operations. This position focuses on frontline implementation, observation, documentation, and coaching—ensuring health and safety programs are consistently applied in fast-paced, real-world environments, including environmental remediation and compliance-driven work.

Operating across the Energy Services territory in the Northwest and Southwest U.S., this supports projects involving site remediation, response activities, and industrial services where environmental controls, permits, and client-driven requirements are part of daily operations. The role requires practical awareness of how safety and environmental expectations intersect in the field, including task planning, site controls, and documentation.

Serving as a visible on-site resource, the Regional H&S Specialist reinforces safe behaviors, supports Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), conducts field audits and Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) observations, and helps maintain accurate, audit-ready paperwork. While this role does not develop policy or act as a regulatory authority, it supports compliance by promoting alignment with company programs, client expectations, and applicable EPA and state environmental agency requirements as they relate to field activities.
