The Director will partner closely with Operations, Manufacturing, Distribution, Engineering, Human Resources, and site leadership to build a consistent and proactive EHS operating model across the organization.

  • Partner with site leadership to build a strong, proactive safety culture and embed safety accountability throughout the organization.
  • Establish and monitor EHS performance metrics, including leading and lagging indicators, OSHA recordables, lost-time incidents, near misses, corrective actions, and other key safety measures.
  • Lead and standardize incident investigation and root cause analysis processes, ensuring corrective and preventive actions are identified, implemented, and sustained.
  • Lead initiatives to reduce workplace injuries, workers’ compensation exposure, operational risk, and recurring safety events.
  • Oversee compliance with OSHA, EPA, and other applicable federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety regulations.
  • Serve as the primary company representative for OSHA/EPA inspections, inquiries, complaints, and other regulatory interactions.
  • Develop and maintain company-wide programs related to LOTO, machine guarding, powered industrial trucks, ergonomics, electrical safety, PPE, HazCom, contractor safety, emergency response, and other critical manufacturing safety risks.
  • Lead facility EHS audits and risk assessments and partner with site leadership to prioritize and close identified gaps.
  • Partner with Engineering, Maintenance, and Operations on equipment modifications, new equipment installations, automation projects, facility expansions, and other capital projects to ensure safety requirements are incorporated from the beginning.
  • Provide leadership and oversight for environmental compliance programs, including hazardous waste, spill prevention, permitting, reporting, and other applicable environmental requirements.
  • Develop and oversee EHS training programs for employees, supervisors, managers, and site leadership.
  • Provide guidance and development to site safety committees and local EHS resources, creating consistency and accountability across locations.
  • Partner with Human Resources and Operations on workers’ compensation, return-to-work programs, occupational health, and employee injury management.
  • Prepare and present EHS performance, trends, risks, and improvement initiatives to senior leadership.
  • Identify opportunities to continuously improve Arrow’s EHS systems, processes, technology, and overall safety performance.
