Sr Associate, EH&S Generalist at Carrier in North Carolina

About This Role

Established EH&S professional. Administers EH&S plans and procedures across multiple EH&S specialties, including Health/Safety and Environmental/Compliance. Analyzes facility and employee practice issues for opportunities to apply EH&S procedures to solve problems or improve EH&S policy effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities

Compliance position and verification

• Maintains a current, evidence-based view of the site's compliance status against applicable EH&S regulatory requirements, and can substantiate it on demand to an auditor, a regulator or Carrier leadership.

• Verifies compliance through direct observation in operating areas and through examination of records — not through assurances that work was completed. Confirms that identified gaps are closed, with documented evidence.

• Investigates non-conformance to root cause, drives corrective action to closure through the accountable owner, and escalates when closure stalls.

Regulatory recordkeeping, reporting and submissions

• Owns the regulatory records, reports and submissions that remain the employer's legal responsibility and cannot be delegated to a contractor or service provider, including incident recordkeeping and determinations, and periodic regulatory submissions under permits and reporting programs.

• Maintains the site's regulatory calendar and works backwards from each deadline so that submissions, renewals, monitoring and recurring inspections are never deadline-driven emergencies.

Oversight of third-party delivery

• Where EH&S services are delivered by external providers, retains accountability for the compliance outcome: sets the scope, verifies the work was performed to standard, and confirms the resulting records satisfy the underlying regulatory requirement.

• Reviews the work of on-site contractors for compliance with site EH&S requirements and escalates non-conformance to the contract owner.

• Identifies where a service provider arrangement creates a gap in retained duties, records custody or independence, and raises it for resolution.

Multi-shift coverage

• Defines and maintains the division of EH&S scope across shifts so that every applicable requirement has a single named owner and nothing falls between shifts.

• Operates the shift handoff: acts on items escalated from off-shift resources, closes the loop in writing, and takes ownership of anything requiring management authorization, expenditure, external coordination or a decision that only exists during core hours.

Programs, training and influence

• Administers EH&S programs and procedures across multiple disciplines; develops and delivers training and communications required by regulation, and adapts them as requirements and operations change.

• Interprets regulatory requirements for operations leadership, supervision and employees in terms of what they must actually do differently, and secures action from people who do not report to them.

• Identifies patterns across findings, incidents and observations, and recommends changes to programs, procedures or engineering controls that address the cause rather than the instance.

Working conditions

• The majority of working time is spent in production, maintenance, storage and yard areas, in required PPE. Regular coordination with off-shift operations is expected.

Required Qualifications

• 3 year’s experience in manufacturing
• Certificate in Nursing or EMT

Preferred Qualifications

• Practical knowledge of Carrier organization, programs or systems with the ability to make enhancements and leverage in daily work
