In Georgia, the footprint includes the Commerce Vehicle Processing Center (VPC), STS Trucking operations, and the Norcross Parts Distribution Center (PDC).

The EHS Manager partners with site leaders and functional stakeholders to drive consistent implementation of the EHS management system, strengthen regulatory compliance, and continuously reduce risk across the Georgia footprint.

The role reports to the JM Family Director of EHS and Sustainability and maintains a dotted-line relationship with SET Operations leadership. This role has one direct report, a Senior EHS professional supporting the Norcross PDC.
