Hillsboro, Oregon | Full-Time, Permanent | $100,000–$120,000 USD

Are you an experienced EHS professional who enjoys building safety programs, solving complex challenges, and making a real impact? Our client, a growing global semiconductor equipment company, is looking for a hands-on Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Specialist to support its expanding operations in Hillsboro, Oregon. This is an exciting opportunity to help establish safety programs for a new manufacturing and demonstration facility while supporting equipment installation, field-service operations, and customer sites across the U.S.

PERKS AND BENEFITS:

• Competitive salary of $100,000–$120,000 USD, depending on experience.
• Make an impact from day one by helping shape EHS programs for a new manufacturing facility.
• High-visibility opportunity to work directly with technical teams, operations leaders, and external partners.
• Variety in your work, with exposure to semiconductor manufacturing, laboratories, equipment installations, and field-service operations.
• Autonomy and ownership to develop practical safety solutions and influence how programs are implemented.
• Growing global organization operating in the innovative semiconductor equipment industry.
• Professional growth through exposure to complex technical environments and evolving safety requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Develop, implement, and maintain EHS policies, procedures, training programs, and compliance documentation for U.S. operations.
• Help establish safety programs for a new manufacturing and demonstration facility, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), chemical safety, electrical safety, PPE, and emergency preparedness.
• Ensure compliance with federal OSHA, Oregon OSHA, and applicable environmental, hazardous-material, and hazardous-waste regulations.
• Support environmental compliance activities, including air-discharge and wastewater permitting, regulatory reporting, and coordination with external consultants.
• Conduct workplace inspections, safety audits, job hazard analyses (JHAs), risk assessments, and incident investigations.
• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, construction, and field-service teams to identify hazards and implement practical corrective actions.
• Provide safety oversight for equipment installation, commissioning, maintenance, and contractor activities.
• Support field-service safety initiatives at customer locations, including contractor coordination, site inspections, and safety procedures.
• Maintain accurate, audit-ready EHS records and promote a proactive safety culture through employee engagement, coaching, and training.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE:

• 5 years of hands-on EHS experience with a relevant associate or bachelor's degree in occupational safety, environmental science, industrial hygiene, engineering, chemistry, or a related discipline; or 8 years of directly relevant experience without an applicable degree.
• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, advanced manufacturing, industrial construction, or another high-hazard environment where safety is a critical priority.
• Your practical knowledge of OSHA regulations, LOTO, chemical safety, electrical safety, and hazard assessments allows you to confidently identify risks and implement effective solutions.
• A proven ability to develop, improve, or implement EHS programs, policies, and procedures rather than simply maintain existing systems.
• Experience conducting safety inspections, audits, incident investigations, and employee training.
• Familiarity with environmental compliance, hazardous materials, industrial hygiene, or regulatory reporting would be an asset.
• Your clear, direct communication style allows you to collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians, contractors, and leadership teams.
• You enjoy taking ownership, working independently, and finding practical solutions in fast-paced technical environments.
• CSP, ASP, CHST, CIH, OSHA 30, HAZWOPER, or NFPA 70E training would be considered an asset.
