About the Team:

The EHS team carries a profound responsibility to keep people and the environments where we operate safe while we build the future. We're not here to slow things down; we're here to enable safe speed. At this stage in Relativity's trajectory, you'll have the rare opportunity to shape how EHS is embedded in every process and decision, from the factory floor to the launch pad. We have a voice at every level, and we use it to build a culture where EHS isn't just about compliance, but rather a shared responsibility amongst all employees.

• Provide expert guidance on construction safety standards, including fall protection, equipment safety, excavation/trenching, and contractor management.
• Deliver safety training and toolbox talks tailored to construction and infrastructure activities.
• Spend ~30% of time developing, improving, and rolling out EHS programs and training initiatives.
• Lead or support incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action implementation for construction-related events.
• Collaborate with contractors, facilities, and engineering teams to proactively address safety challenges.
• Mentor the site contractor safety technician.
