Job Description

Join DayOne – Shaping the Future of Data Infrastructure

DayOne is a global leader in the development and operation of high-performance data centers. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, we’ve built a robust presence across Asia and Europe — and we’re just getting started.

As we expand into new international markets, we’re looking for talented, driven individuals to join us on this exciting journey. This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to be a key contributor to our dynamic team and help shape the future of global data infrastructure.

If you're passionate about innovation, technology, and growth, we invite you to be part of DayOne’s next chapter.

The EHS Specialist will be the primary on-site guardian for health, safety, and environmental compliance during the construction of a large-scale data center. You will ensure that all construction activities—from civil works to MEP fit-out—adhere strictly to local regulations, corporate EHS standards, and OSHA and ISO guidelines. Your goal is to achieve a zero-incident workplace.

Key Responsibilities

1. Site Safety Management

• Implement and enforce the project-specific EHS plan and behavioral safety programs.
• Conduct daily site walkthroughs and safety audits, focusing on high-risk activities: crane lifts, working at heights, excavation, hot work (welding), and scaffolding.
• Lead the permitting process for high-hazard tasks (Confined Space Entry, Hot Work Permits, LOTO/energization).
• Monitor subcontractor compliance; stop work immediately if unsafe conditions are observed.
• Site inspection and audit.

2. Incident Management & Investigation

• Manage the incident reporting system (near-misses, first aid, recordables).
• Conduct thorough root-cause investigations for any safety incidents.
• Track corrective actions to closure and ensure lessons learned are shared across the project team.

3. Training & Induction

• Develop and deliver site-specific safety orientations for all new personnel (including GC, MEP, and security staff).
• Facilitate toolbox talks (TBT) on critical topics such as arc flash prevention, fall protection, and heat stress management.
• Ensure all workers possess valid qualifications (e.g., WAH certification, forklift licenses).

4. Environmental Compliance

• Monitor environmental controls related to erosion, sediment control, and stormwater management (SWPPP).
• Oversee waste management protocols, ensuring proper segregation and disposal of hazardous materials (oil, batteries, chemicals).
• Ensure compliance with noise and dust control measures to minimize community impact.
• Develop, implement, and maintain the Vector Management Control Program​ to mitigate the risk of vector-borne diseases.

5. Reporting & Meetings

• Prepare monthly EHS statistics (TRIR, DART) and present them to senior leadership.
• Chair weekly EHS coordination meetings with General Contractors and key MEP subcontractors.
• Liaise with local regulatory authorities (MOM, OSHA, HSE) during inspections.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Minimum 5 years​ of progressive EHS experience.
• Proven experience in large-scale construction​. Experience in Data Centers, Oil & Gas, or Semiconductor Fab​ is highly preferred over standard commercial building experience.
• Experience managing EHS during high-voltage electrical installations​ (33kV/132kV switchyards) is a strong plus.
• Bachelor’s or diploma’s degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, or Engineering.
• In-depth knowledge of ISO 45001 (Safety)​ and ISO 14001 (Environment).
• First Aid/CPR/AED certified instructor level is a plus.
