Job Summary

The role performs frequent Corporate Compliance audits, facilitates high-level TapRooT® investigations as needed, and supports EHS integration of current and future acquisitions. The Specialist also keeps the Region current on state-specific regulations.
The position helps build the internal audit, corrective action and documentation practices required for ISO 45001 compliance.

Independence and reporting relationships
The Specialist reports through Corporate EHS Compliance and Integration, not through Regional leadership. That reporting line gives Corporate EHS the capacity and independence to validate results consistently.

- COMPASS independence: A Specialist does not lead the COMPASS audit of their own home Region and does not lead the same Region's audit twice in a row.
- Classification Authority: Findings are classified to Corporate criteria. Regional leadership holds no classification authority over its own findings.
- Cross-region work: The Specialist works across Regions as business needs require, including audits, investigations and integration support.
