Job Description

CES Power is a leading company specializing in power generation and related operational services including vehicle transportation, warehouse management, fleet distribution, setup and repair, and comprehensive job site operations. With a commitment to excellence and an expansive operational footprint across multiple states, CES Power has established itself as a recognized authority in delivering reliable and efficient energy solutions while maintaining rigorous safety and environmental standards. The company values sustainability, employee well-being, and regulatory compliance, striving to cultivate a workplace where safety and operational excellence are deeply embedded in its culture.

CES Power is currently seeking a dedicated Environment, Health & Safety Specialist (EHS) to spearhead their safety, health, environmental, and regulatory compliance programs. This role is a strategic and hands-on leadership position crucial to fostering a world-class safety culture across all facets of the organization. The EHS Specialist will be responsible for the development, implementation, and continuous enhancement of safety and environmental programs tailored to the diverse operations of the company. These operations include power generation facilities, fleet transportation, warehouse environments, equipment setup and repair activities, and managing job site operations from initial load-in to final load-out.

In this role, the EHS Specialist will closely collaborate with operational leaders, project managers, and account managers to integrate proactive safety measures and compliance standards into daily activities. The role demands an individual with significant expertise in occupational safety, risk management, environmental regulatory compliance, incident prevention, and leadership within complex multi-site and multi-state operational environments. Travel is a key component, as the specialist will visit various regional facilities and job sites to engage with field personnel, promote safety as a core value, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Key responsibilities encompass leading the company’s overall EHS strategy; championing safety leadership and culture; ensuring compliance with OSHA, DOT, EPA, and other relevant regulations; managing risk assessments and incident investigations; coordinating EHS training and staff development; and continuously monitoring and reporting on safety performance metrics. The incumbent will function as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, providing insights into EHS risks, trends, and opportunities for advancing the company’s safety agenda.

CES Power values candidates who bring a strong foundation of knowledge and experience in managing workplace safety programs across multiple locations, particularly within industries such as construction, industrial services, energy, utility sectors, or related fields that face similar operational challenges. The successful candidate will be a solutions-driven leader who actively fosters accountability, engagement, and behavioral safety to build a resilient safety culture that protects employees, customers, contractors, and company assets alike.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to impact safety and compliance on a large scale, pushing forward innovative initiatives that uphold the highest standards of occupational health and environmental stewardship. CES Power offers a collaborative work environment that supports professional growth, and the EHS Specialist will have access to resources that enable them to lead meaningful change. This is a full-time position where the ability to effectively travel up to 60 percent is essential, underscoring the dynamic and hands-on nature of this critical role.
