Ehs Program Manager Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

Responsibilities 

EHS Program & Policy Development

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve company EHS policies, standards, programs, procedures, and safe work practices
• Translate regulatory requirements, industry practices, operational risks, and lessons learned into practical company requirements
• Own programs from initial development through implementation, field validation, and continuous improvement
• Establish clear program responsibilities, training requirements, and measures of effectiveness

Electrical & High-Power Test Safety

• Develop and implement the company's electrical safety program, including NFPA 70E-based safe work practices, arc flash risk assessment, energized work permits, and qualified worker requirements
• Partner with test engineering on safe work systems for high-power electrical test operations, including test area controls, interlocks, barriers, and emergency response
• Support lockout/tagout (LOTO) implementation across manufacturing and test equipment
• Participate in equipment safety reviews and buy-offs for new manufacturing and test equipment, including safety logic, controls, guarding, and energy isolation

Risk Assessment & Hands-On Partnership

• Lead risk assessments for routine, non-routine, and higher-risk work, applying the hierarchy of controls with the people performing the work
• Spend meaningful time in operational areas; observe work firsthand before developing or changing requirements
• Develop safe work practices, procedures, permits, checklists, and qualification requirements where appropriate and verify they work under actual operating conditions
• Challenge both unsafe work practices and EHS requirements that are unnecessarily complex, ineffective, or disconnected from the work

Leadership, Training & Continuous Improvement

• Serve as a trusted EHS advisor to site and operational leadership; provide clear recommendations when safety, operational, and business considerations compete
• Lead cross-functional initiatives and integrate EHS into normal business processes without relying on direct authority
• Partner with subject-matter experts to develop practical, competency-based training that reflects actual work, hazards, and equipment
• Evaluating field application, not just course completion.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in environmental health & safety, Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience
• 8+ years of progressively responsible EHS experience in technical, industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, or operational environments
• Demonstrated experience developing and implementing EHS policies, programs, and safe work practices
• Working knowledge of electrical safety requirements, including OSHA electrical standards and NFPA 70E
• Significant experience conducting and facilitating risk assessments
• Demonstrated success working directly with frontline employees, technical teams, and site leadership
• Ability and willingness to regularly work in operational environments, including manufacturing floors and high-power electrical test areas
• Ability to travel periodically (California - Bay Area)

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in power electronics, electrical equipment manufacturing, energy, advanced manufacturing, testing, or similarly complex technical environments
• Experience supporting high-power electrical test operations
• Experience developing multi-site or company-wide EHS programs and competency-based qualification programs

Work Environment

• Based on-site at our Reno, NV manufacturing and test facility, with regular time on the manufacturing floor and in test areas
• Must be able to wear required PPE, including arc-rated clothing where applicable
• Work environment includes energized electrical equipment, industrial machinery, and active manufacturing operations

What Success Looks Like: Success is not measured by the number of policies written or corrective actions issued. Success means risks are understood and effectively controlled, requirements work in practice, leaders own safety within their organizations, and employees view EHS as a trusted partner who helps them solve problems and get work done safely.

Please note: This role requires working on site 5 days per week. Hybrid and remote work options are not available.

Given the highly collaborative and cross-functional nature of hardware, embedded systems, and compliance development, onsite partnership across engineering and product teams is critical to enabling rapid execution, technical alignment, and successful certification outcomes.
