The successful candidate will have extensive knowledge of air compliance and regulatory requirements in North America, demonstrated ability to develop and standardize complex compliance systems across multiple jurisdictions, and proven experience leading air quality initiatives that drive environmental performance and sustainability. The ideal candidate will excel at providing strategic guidance while maintaining strong attention to technical details and have a track record of successfully collaborating with diverse stakeholders to implement environmental compliance programs at scale.
