Key Responsibilities

Environmental Strategy and Risk Reduction

• Assess the environmental risk profile across sites; prioritize resources and initiatives based on potential regulatory, operational, and environmental consequences.
• Integrate environmental requirements into business planning and management of change for new equipment, processes, chemicals, capacity expansions, and facility modifications.
• Develop and deploy environmental management systems and governance.
• Identify emerging regulatory requirements and translate them into practical implementation plans, standards, and site actions.

Regulatory Compliance and Technical Leadership

• Provide technical leadership on environmental permitting/licensing, including applicability, inventories, calculations, permit applications/renewals/modifications, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting.
• Oversee compliance programs for hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including characterization, generator status, storage, labeling, transportation, disposal, manifests, and vendor oversight.
• Provide technical oversight for wastewater/stormwater/drinking water permits, sampling, discharge limits, treatment performance, inspections, reporting, and unauthorized discharge investigations.
• Guide site programs for spill prevention and response, chemical management, storage tanks, environmental releases, and emergency response.
• Ensure a process exists to periodically reconcile permits, registrations, and authorizations with actual equipment, materials, processes, emissions, discharges, production volumes, and operating conditions.
• Provide oversight and technical guidance on required government mandated reports as required by law.

Other Key Responsibilities

Assurance and Incident Management

• Lead a risk-based environmental compliance assurance approach incorporating legal compliance audits, site reviews, self-assessments, critical-obligation verification, and follow-up on significant findings.
• Provide oversight of environmental incidents, releases, permit deviations, exceedances, and Notices of Violation; support timely notification, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and prevention of recurrence.
• Validate the completeness and accuracy of significant environmental data, calculations, regulatory submissions, and supporting records.
• Track high-risk and overdue corrective actions, verify effectiveness of significant controls, and escalate material compliance risks to appropriate leadership.
• Create a site recovery program for at-risk/high risk locations.

Systems, Standardization and Continuous Improvement

• Develop and sustain common environmental compliance tools, procedures, permit registers, obligation matrices, compliance calendars, dashboards, and technical guidance.
• Use Benchmark Gensuite and other approved digital tools to improve compliance visibility, action tracking, reporting quality, and consistency across sites.
• Apply data analytics and appropriately governed AI-enabled solutions to identify trends, simplify administrative work, and support earlier risk identification.
• Analyze findings, incidents, regulatory events, and site performance to identify systemic issues and deploy scalable preventive improvements and best practices.
• Coordinate technical performance of consultants, laboratories, waste vendors, and other environmental service providers.

Leadership, Governance and Performance

• Partner with Corporate Environmental, legal, site and business leaders to clarify environmental responsibilities, build capability, and integrate compliance into routine operating reviews.
• Establish and monitor meaningful indicators covering critical obligations, permit deviations, audit findings, corrective-action timeliness and effectiveness, and significant environmental events.
• Provide clear, risk-based updates and recommendations to segment EHS and business leadership, including progress against strategic priorities.
• Coach and influence cross-functional teams without relying on direct reporting authority; share lessons learned and effective practices across sites.
• Assist in developing training programs to enhance capability and compliance in IS BU sites.

• Demonstrated expertise across multiple environmental regulatory programs, particularly air emissions and permitting, waste, wastewater/stormwater, chemical management, spill prevention, and regulatory reporting.
• Ability to independently interpret regulations and permit conditions, assess applicability, identify compliance gaps, and implement practical, risk-based solutions.
• Experience developing compliance strategies, leading cross-functional initiatives, conducting assurance activities, and influencing site and business leadership.
• Working knowledge of ISO 14001, environmental management systems, digital compliance platforms, data analytics, and practical AI applications.
• Strong analytical, communication, project-management, and stakeholder-management skills; able to set priorities and execute with limited supervision.
