Description

Location: Beaverton, OR

Employment Type: Full-Time, Salaried (pay range based on experience)

Position Summary

This is a dynamic position that requires both visibility on the production floor and a strong grasp of corporate-level EHS documentation and compliance. You’ll spend your time engaging with team members at all levels to build a proactive safety culture while also managing the formal side of EHS—regulatory reporting, documentation, and coordination with corporate and external agencies.

• Manage documentation for audits, inspections, training, permits, and regulatory filings.
• Conduct site inspections, risk assessments, and incident investigations.
• Coordinate environmental reporting (air, water, waste, Tier II, Form R, etc.).
• Collaborate with plant leadership and corporate teams on safety initiatives and reporting.
• Balance people-focused work with accuracy and attention to administrative detail.
  
  

Qualifications

• Bilingual in English and Spanish (written and verbal) – required
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field – required
