Remote Process Safety Leader Jobs in Raleigh, NC

Sustainability starts at the design table-and this role puts you right at the center of that impact. As the Engineering Design Sustainability Lead, you will shape how sustainability is embedded into global engineering decisions across our transformer business.

This is a highly visible, strategic role where engineering excellence meets environmental responsibility. You will lead the shift from downstream sustainability activities to designled outcomes, ensuring productlevel carbon reduction, material optimization, and environmental performance are built into every design choice from the outset.

With increasing expectations from customers, regulators, and stakeholders for credible productlevel data, your work will directly support compliance, ESG reporting, and longterm business resilience.
