Head of Hazmat Transportation Safety & Chemical EHS Compliance

Lead safety across the road and the plant—every day, in real time

Your day starts with a quick scan of CSA BASIC trends and overnight DOT inspection results. By mid-morning, you’re reviewing Driver Qualification Files and coaching terminal leaders on Hours of Service adherence. After lunch, you’re walking a chemical facility, validating SPCC controls and Hazard Communication practices ahead of an EPA visit. You close the day aligning audit-readiness plans across multiple states. If that rhythm sounds like your sweet spot, this role is built for you.
