Site Safety Officer

Triumvirate Environmental, one of North America’s largest environmental services firms, is seeking an experienced Site Safety Officer to support onsite bulk tanker operations in the Greater Austin Area, Texas. This position is vital to ensuring safe and compliant hazardous and non-hazardous bulk waste transfer and transportation operations.

The successful candidate will work closely with onsite leadership, Field Supervisors, Technicians, and drivers to maintain regulatory compliance and promote a positive learning safety culture rooted in continuous improvement. This role requires a strong field presence and a proactive, detail-oriented professional with strong communication skills and a commitment to operational excellence.

Triumvirate Environmental serves leading organizations in higher education, life sciences, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing, providing diverse services and expertise to meet their compliance needs. We take pride in a culture that fosters learning, growth, creativity, and a deep commitment to excellence. We strive to WOW both our employees and our customers.

This position reports to the Regional Environmental, Health & Safety Manager and is based on site in the Greater Austin Area, Texas.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide EHS and transportation compliance oversight for bulk tanker loading and offloading operations.
  • Conduct routine field inspections, safety observations, and audits to identify hazards and ensure compliance with Triumvirate procedures and customer requirements.
  • Ensure compliance with client EH&S requirements, including but not limited to compliance with contractor safety manual, onboarding requirements, random drug and alcohol testing program compliance and incident reporting requirements.
  • Verify tanker, chemical, hose, fitting, gasket, and transfer equipment compatibility prior to loading operations.
  • Ensure proper use of PPE, respiratory protection, secondary containment, truck berms, spill-response equipment, and other required safety controls.
  • Review and maintain Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), SOPs, and other safe-work procedures for bulk tanker operations.
  • Monitor high-risk transfer activities and exercise Stop Work Authority when unsafe or non-compliant conditions are identified.
  • Conduct industrial hygiene assessments and air monitoring associated with chemical transfers and other high-risk activities.
  • Coordinate and conduct training on RCRA, DOT, OSHA, HAZWOPER, respiratory protection, confined space, and applicable site-specific requirements.
  • Review hazardous material and waste shipping documentation, including manifests, shipping papers, markings, labels, and placarding.

  • Track corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) resulting from incidents, observations, audits, and inspections through completion.
  • Coordinate emergency preparedness activities and participate in drills involving chemical spills, releases, exposures, fires, and other potential emergencies.
  • Maintain accurate safety, training, inspection, incident, and compliance records and support customer and regulatory audits.
  • Partner with onsite Operations to identify trends, reduce operational risk, and drive continuous improvement in safety and compliance.

    • These responsibilities complement the Operations Supervisor's operational ownership of scheduling, personnel, manifests, loading activities, air monitoring, and spill readiness rather than duplicating the Supervisor position.

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently and effectively with onsite operations teams.
  • Capable of interacting effectively with customer representatives and state and federal regulatory inspectors.
  • Ability to work in a manufacturing environment involving hazardous chemicals and waste.
