Senior Manager, EHS - Robotics

We are seeking a Senior Manager, EHS - Robotics to provide senior, hands-on safety leadership across multiple sites. This role is for an experienced EHS leader who can operate independently in a fast-moving technical environment, anticipate risk before it becomes an incident, and build practical safety systems that scale with the business.

Our robotics operations are scaling quickly, with a growing mix of construction, commissioning, workforce expansion, and around-the-clock operations. This creates a complex and evolving risk environment and requires strong preventive planning, consistent field presence, and sustained incident-management oversight.

This leader will own site-level EHS strategy and execution for the robotics portfolio while partnering with the broader EHS team on company-wide standards and programs. The successful candidate will look around corners: planning for future ramps, identifying requirements early, influencing design and operating decisions, and creating durable systems that enable teams to move quickly without compromising safety.

In this role you will:

• Serve as a senior EHS partner across robotics R&D operations, owning site-level safety strategy, priorities, and execution as the footprint scales.
• Anticipate EHS requirements for new operations, equipment, processes, construction phases, staffing ramps, and 24/7 operations, and translate them into practical plans before work begins.
• Lead proactive risk identification and control across robotics activities, including machine safety, ergonomics, electrical safety, material handling, hazardous materials, contractor safety, and other site-specific risks.
• Build and maintain site EHS programs, risk assessments, procedures, training, inspections, corrective-action systems, emergency preparedness, and compliance processes appropriate to each site's risk profile.
• Partner with Robotics, Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Workplace, Construction, Security, People, Legal, and vendors to embed safety into facility design, equipment deployment, work planning, and operating decisions.
• Provide visible field leadership across shifts and operating conditions, establishing mechanisms that support effective EHS coverage and escalation for 24/7 operations.
• Lead incident response and investigation for significant events; ensure timely fact-finding, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, verification, trend analysis, and communication of lessons learned.
• Use incident, near-miss, inspection, and operational data to identify recurring risks and drive preventive actions across sites rather than addressing events in isolation.
• Oversee contractor and contingent-worker safety interfaces, clarifying responsibilities, expectations, reporting, and corrective-action ownership across multi-employer worksites.
• Maintain strong regulatory compliance and readiness, including applicable Cal/OSHA and OSHA requirements, while developing metrics and reporting that make site risks, actions, and performance visible to leadership.
