  • 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).
