About the job

As an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Program Manager, you will act as a multiplier for Google’s Partnered Delivery and Offsite (PDO) construction portfolio in the Texas region. You will lead the 'Owner Oversight' program for a complex and large portfolio of data center developments under absolute net lease structures. In this role, you will manage ambiguous cross-functional issues and drive safety interventions to mitigate high-energy electrical, and mechanical risks in addition to traditional construction risk and compliance. You will serve as the primary EHS authority representative of Google for these developer-led projects, bridging the gap between site delivery and long-term operational safety while preserving Google’s liability shield.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the "Owner Oversight" EHS program for the Dallas/Austin portfolio to mitigate Google's liability and ensure developer compliance with contractual safety standards.
• Oversee the remediation of high-energy electrical hazards, specifically focusing on arc flash prevention and grounding architecture deficiencies across geographically dispersed sites.
• Collaborate with executive cross-functional stakeholders (Front-End Planning, Data Center Operations, and Quality) to drive site-level resolutions and remove bottlenecks during construction and turn-up phases.
• Validate and audit developer-led Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) and safety-related 8D quality audits for significant incidents to ensure systemic risks are addressed.
• Manage and mentor site-level Construction Safety Team Members, providing guidance on program deployment and performance oversight to ensure consistent safety governance.
