Union Technologies is reindustrializing America's defense manufacturing base with a first-of-its-kind Factories-as-a-Stockpile model, integrating advanced robotics, manufacturing, and software into sovereign factory systems at scale. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, UNION is dedicated to restoring America's industrial strength and guaranteeing deterrence for the century ahead. We need a battle-forged Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager to champion a relentless safety culture in our 24/7, 365-day defense manufacturing stronghold. You'll lead the charge in a high-stakes, mil-spec environment, driving excellence in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) metrics. With deep expertise in heavy manufacturingsteel mills, forges, casting shops, or large plastics processorsyou'll enforce safety protocols for hazardous environments involving molten metal, chemicals, and roboticized operations. Wielding job hazard analyses, chemical controls, and spill prevention plans, you'll ensure mission-critical safety and compliance in a DoD-aligned facility. Drive Uncompromising Safety Culture: Champion the mantra "All accidents are preventable," embedding a proactive safety mindset across all levels of a 24/7, 365-day operation. Master Safety Metrics: Calculate, report, and drive excellence in TRIR and DART, using data to eliminate incidents in a high-intensity, mil-spec environment. Command Hazardous Environments: Specify and enforce proper PPE for high-risk tasks involving high temperatures, molten metal, chemicals, and overhead lifting, ensuring workforce protection. Lead Chemical Hazard Control: Oversee chemical hazard monitoring, controls, and reporting, ensuring compliance with TCEQ, EPA, and other state/federal regulations while training staff from entry-level to experienced. Conduct Risk Assessments: Perform job hazard analyses (JHAs) and ergonomic assessments to mitigate risks; implement light-duty and return-to-work programs to support workforce resilience. Ensure Material Handling Safety: Enforce safety protocols for overhead lifting, forklifts, and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), with a focus on heavily roboticized environments. Support Plant Overhauls: Collaborate on plant overhauls and installation projects, managing contractor and vendor safety programs to maintain operational integrity. Fortify Spill Prevention: Develop and execute spill prevention plans, ensuring rapid response and compliance with environmental regulations. Train a Battle-Ready Workforce: Design and deliver comprehensive safety training for all shifts, including off-shift staff, covering PPE, chemical hazards, robotics, and material handling. Lock in Regulatory Compliance: Manage reporting requirements for TCEQ, OSHA, and other agencies, ensuring adherence to mil-spec, ISO 9001, and DoD standards through rigorous audits.
