  • Develop preventive measures, maintain detailed records, and prepare reports for regulatory agencies, management, and insurance purposes.

  • Manage safety committees, coordinate with external auditors, and integrate EHS into business operations to support sustainable growth.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND ABILITIES
  • knowledge of health and safety regulations, auditing techniques, and risk assessment methodologies.
  • Analytical mindset with proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, safety software like iAuditor or Enablon).

  • Willingness to travel, physical ability to conduct site inspections, and a commitment to ethical practices.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
