  • Conduct regular site inspections, facility audits, vehicle inspections, environmental compliance checks, and safety assessments across terminals and field operations.
  • Provide hands-on training and coaching to drivers, terminal staff, and operations teams on compliance, hazard recognition, safe handling of fuels/lubricants, and emergency response.
  • Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, corrective actions, and follow-up to prevent recurrence.
  • Track and analyze EHS metrics, audit findings, training completion, incident trends, and environmental performance to drive accountability and strategic decision-making.
  • Ensure daily compliance with DOT hazardous materials regulations, OSHA workplace safety standards, and TCEQ requirements related to petroleum storage tanks, air permitting, spill prevention, and emissions.
  • Develop and maintain emergency response plans, spill prevention/countermeasure plans (SPCC), and preparedness programs; coordinate drills and response activities.
  • Manage environmental programs including hazardous waste handling, storage tank compliance, permitting, emissions monitoring, and sustainability initiatives.
  • Support insurance claims, regulatory inspections, and legal interactions through thorough documentation and compliance records.
  • Foster a strong, visible culture of safety and environmental stewardship through field engagement, safety meetings, toolbox talks, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives to support company growth and best practices adoption.

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in EHS leadership, particularly within fleet operations, hazmat transportation, fuel/petroleum distribution, or related industries.
  • Strong working knowledge of DOT hazardous materials transportation regulations (required), OSHA standards, and TCEQ environmental regulations (preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams, drive cultural change, and push initiatives forward in fast-paced operational environments.
  • Hands-on, “boots on the ground” leadership style with comfort in field work and independent decision-making.
  • Experience conducting inspections, incident reviews, root cause analysis, training delivery, and regulatory interactions.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
  • Background working with insurance providers, legal teams, and regulatory agencies on audits and compliance matters.
  • Experience managing EHS programs for fleets and operational teams of varying sizes.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certified Director of Safety (CDS) or equivalent certification preferred.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, Industrial Hygiene, Engineering, or a related field preferred.
  • Additional certifications such as CSP, ASP, CHMM, or TCEQ-related credentials are a plus.
