Lead Safety. Drive Compliance. Shape Culture.

At Mölnlycke, protecting people is just as important as advancing healthcare.We're looking for a highly visible and influential EHSS leader to drive environmental, health, safety, and security excellence across our US manufacturing operations.

This is more than a compliance role. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to site leadership, champion a proactive safety culture, and lead initiatives that reduce risk, improve operational performance, and strengthen EHSS management systems. You'll have the opportunity to influence both strategic direction and day-to-day operations while partnering with stakeholders across manufacturing, engineering, quality, HR, and global EHSS teams.

If you're passionate about building world-class safety cultures, leading continuous improvement, and making a meaningful impact within a global healthcare organization, we'd love to hear from you.

• Lead environmental, health, safety, and security programs across US manufacturing operations.

• Provide EHSS leadership and support for facilities in Brunswick and Wiscasset, Maine, and Anderson, South Carolina.

• Drive continuous improvement of EHSS management systems while ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, state, and local regulations.

• Maintain and strengthen ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems.

• Serve as the regional leader and local champion for EHSS initiatives, culture, and performance.

• Develop, track, and report EHSS metrics, leading indicators, and performance improvement plans.

• Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action implementation.

• Conduct risk assessments and ensure effective hazard identification and mitigation practices.

• Manage EHSS audits, inspections, and interactions with regulatory agencies.

• Lead EHSS training programs and ensure regulatory training requirements are met.

• Partner with site leadership teams to embed accountability and ownership for EHSS performance.

• Manage workers' compensation programs and support return-to-work initiatives.

• Directly manage the EHSS Specialist and support capability development within the EHSS function.

• Drive regional and global EHSS improvement projects and share best practices across sites.

What You’ll Bring:

• Work for a purpose-driven healthcare company where your contributions directly support patient outcomes and employee well-being.
