Environmental Engineer / Site EHS Lead at ACME ALLIANCE DIE CASTING (2024-10 – Present)

Lead site EHS systems and risk-reduction initiatives in a die-casting foundry with molten aluminum, furnaces, trim presses, CNC equipment, industrial vehicles, and automated machinery.

• Develop an incident-response protocol and complete investigation package covering escalation, evidence collection, interviews, root-cause analysis, corrective-action ownership, and follow-up verification; trained supervisors and employees on the process.
• Build and manage hazard-reporting and positive-recognition program, including DOT ID, to increase employee participation in identifying hazards and reinforcing safe behaviors.
• Partner with maintenance to develop a work-order portal for foundry safety concerns, creating a documented workflow to submit, assign, track, escalate, and close corrective actions.
• Drive 5S, Gemba, and structured audit activities across value streams and common areas; used findings to address organization, storage, workflow, space constraints, and recurring process risks.
• Analyze incidents, near misses, inspections, and EHS KPIs to identify trends, prioritize controls, and communicate risk and action status to leadership.
• Develop and delivered SOPs, One-Point Lessons, and training for LOTO, Hazard Communication, PPE, hearing conservation, PIT, emergency response, bloodborne pathogens, and incident reporting.
• Coordinate environmental and compliance programs involving hazardous materials, SDS and chemical inventory, waste, air-emissions activities, industrial hygiene sampling plans, and ISO 9001/14001 audit readiness.
• Collaborate with operations, engineering, HR, maintenance, and value-stream leadership to implement CAPA, engineering controls, and sustainable improvements without losing sight of production needs.
