S/he will provide support to other EHS staff members on various programs including Auditing, Prevention through Design, Inspections, and assist with special projects such as BEDC EHS communications and Newsletters. S/he will manage the Bureau’s training modules and related documents, including preparing, updating, and maintaining training courses and content based on the Bureau’s EHS training objectives and goals. S/he may also conduct pre-occupancy EHS inspections of facilities with our client Bureaus.
