What are the responsibilities and job description for the Environmental Health & Safety Specialist position at The Boring Company?

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

We’re looking for an EHS Specialist who can keep up with the pace of tunneling operations and proactively manage risk in a high-pressure, underground environment. This role supports hard rock Main Beam TBM projects and requires a sharp, field-first safety mindset. You’ll be embedded with operations teams to ensure compliance, drive safe behaviors, and continuously improve health, safety, and environmental outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor daily field operations to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local EHS regulations and company policies
  • Perform regular tunnel and surface inspections, including pre-shift walkthroughs, equipment checks, air quality sampling, and confined space protocols
  • Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective/preventative action implementation
  • Conduct job hazard analyses (JHAs), risk assessments, and toolbox talks with crews
  • Maintain EHS documentation, training records, and regulatory reports
  • Support emergency response preparedness and training exercises
  • Collaborate with superintendents, miners, and technicians to identify and mitigate job-specific risks

Qualifications

  • 3 years of experience in construction or heavy industrial EHS roles - tunneling, mining, or oil & gas preferred
  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA, MSHA (preferred), confined space, LOTO, and respiratory protection standards
  • Experience conducting field audits and writing JHAs, incident reports, and environmental compliance documentation
  • Comfortable working in underground environments and around heavy equipment
  • CSP, CHST, or equivalent certification is a plus

Culture

We're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.

Benefits

We offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.
