Senior EHS Specialist

About the Team:

The EHS team carries a profound responsibility to keep people and the environments where we operate safe while we build the future. We're not here to slow things down; we're here to enable safe speed. At this stage in Relativity's trajectory, you'll have the rare opportunity to shape how EHS is embedded in every process and decision, from the factory floor to the launch pad. We have a voice at every level, and we use it to build a culture where EHS isn't just about compliance, but rather a shared responsibility amongst all employees.

About the Role:

• Collaborate with engineering and operational teams from technician level to site leadership on a variety of safety topics from the planning through execution phases.
• Identify hazards, perform risk assessments like Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and implement effective control measures.
• Participate in design review, build, and activation of launch pad ground support equipment, including high pressure gas systems, cryogenic systems, flammable liquids, electrical systems, mechanical systems, and more.
• Build out safety processes and programs for Launch Operations based on on-site observations, identified gaps, and feedback from all levels of personnel.
• Balance time between program development and in-field support, helping to build on our positive safety culture through visibility and availability.
• Conduct safety audits, inspections, and incident investigations using root cause investigation strategies and provide meaningful corrective action recommendations.
• Long term this position will include vehicle processing and launch support, which covers ground support equipment as well as a wide range of EHS topics. These areas may include hearing protection, respiratory protection, hazard communication, industrial hygiene, and more.

About You:

• Bachelor's degree in Safety, Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of EHS experience. Preferred experience in pressure systems, electrical safety, launch operations, aerospace, or other complex technical environments.
• Strong knowledge of OSHA, NFPA 70E, ANSI, ASME, and/or related safety standards.
• Proven experience conducting risk assessments, hazard analysis, and incident investigations in complex technical environments.
• Experience in project management and continuous improvement strategies for various safety programs in a high-speed technical environment.

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience with high-pressure systems (hydraulic, pneumatic, or gas-based) in industrial or launch operation environments.
• Experience with high voltage systems, NFPA 70E, electrical safety, and LOTO in industrial or launch operation environments.
• Knowledge of testing protocols and mechanical safety hazards.
• Relevant Certifications: Associate Safety Professional (ASP) or Certified Safety Professional (CSP), OSHA 30 hour, or other professional safety certifications.
• Advanced skill in Microsoft Office tools.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and time-management skills.
