The role:

• Partnering with manufacturing site leadership and operations teams to provide strategic direction and hands-on EHS support, building strong relationships and addressing local challenges including legal compliance, incident investigation and emergency response, in line with JM values.
• Leading the implementation of JM EHS policies, standards and the EHS roadmap across the region, ensuring consistent integration into site-level workflows while supporting safe, efficient and reliable manufacturing operations.

• Providing robust EHS assurance and performance reporting, including quality assurance of incidents and data in JM EHS systems, trend analysis, management reporting, and timely escalation of key EHS risks and issues to Operations and Global EHS.

• Degree in a relevant subject, ideally in an EHS-related discipline, with 7–10 years of industry experience across Environment, Health & Industrial Hygiene, People Safety and Process Safety, preferably within the chemical or manufacturing sector.
• Proven experience in a hands-on EHS leadership role, supporting manufacturing site teams, coaching and mentoring EHS professionals, and leading through JM’s vision and values within a matrix organization.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships, influence without direct authority, and communicate effectively (written and verbal) at all levels of the organization.
• Demonstrated ability to drive change and continuous improvement, including identifying practical improvement opportunities, challenging existing processes, and developing, implementing and training user-oriented EHS procedures.
• Strong organizational and project management capability, with experience managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, delivering projects through cross-functional teams, and ensuring robust EHS governance and compliance.
