Job Description Summary
GE Vernova’s Power Conversion & Storage business delivers advanced electrification systems that support the critical power and energy requirements of high-performance applications worldwide.

Role Overview
As the EHS Manager you will lead the site’s proactive safety shifting the focus from reactive incident response to predictive risk prevention. Your primary objective is the systemic elimination of hazards before they reach the shop floor. You will have a visible presence on the factory floor, engaging daily with production teams to observe processes in situ and coaching operators to own their safety environment.
Job Description
Partnering closely with operations leadership you will align EHS initiatives with production scheduling. In this capacity, you will demonstrate how safe, disciplined processes drive higher quality, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve manufacturing velocity. You will oversee robust investigations, ensuring that root-cause analysis is thorough and leads to meaningful, permanent corrective actions that prevent recurrence. This is a practical, influential role for a leader who is equally comfortable coaching a team on risk reduction as they are presenting performance data to senior leadership.
Finally, you will manage all site-level regulatory compliance, acting as the primary point of contact for external audits and internal stakeholders. You will translate complex safety regulations into clear, actionable site procedures that empower our teams to operate safely while maintaining the high-paced output required to support production.
