About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in environmental health and safety, occupational safety, industrial hygiene, engineering, environmental science, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • At least eight years of progressively responsible EHS experience in technical, industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, or operational environments.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and implementing EHS policies, programs, and safe work practices.
  • Working knowledge of electrical safety requirements, including OSHA electrical standards and NFPA 70E.
  • Significant experience conducting and facilitating risk assessments.
  • Demonstrated success working directly with frontline employees, technical teams, and site leadership.
  • Ability and willingness to regularly work in operational environments, including manufacturing floors and high-power electrical test areas.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve company EHS policies, standards, programs, procedures, and safe work practices.
  • Translate regulatory requirements, industry practices, operational risks, and lessons learned into practical company requirements.
  • Own EHS programs from initial development through implementation, field validation, and continuous improvement.
  • Establish clear program responsibilities, training requirements, and measures of effectiveness.
  • Develop and implement the company's electrical safety program, including NFPA 70E-based safe work practices, arc flash risk assessment, energized work permits, and qualified worker requirements.
  • Partner with test engineering on safe work systems for high-power electrical test operations, including test area controls, interlocks, barriers, and emergency response.
  • Support lockout/tagout implementation across manufacturing and test equipment.
  • Participate in equipment safety reviews and buy-offs for new manufacturing and test equipment, including safety logic, controls, guarding, and energy isolation.
  • Lead risk assessments for routine, non-routine, and higher-risk work, applying the hierarchy of controls with the people performing the work.
  • Spend meaningful time in operational areas and observe work firsthand before developing or changing requirements.
  • Develop safe work practices, procedures, permits, checklists, and qualification requirements where appropriate, and verify they work under actual operating conditions.
  • Challenge unsafe work practices and EHS requirements that are unnecessarily complex, ineffective, or disconnected from the work.
  • Serve as a trusted EHS advisor to site and operational leadership and provide clear recommendations when safety, operational, and business considerations compete.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives and integrate EHS into normal business processes without relying on direct authority.
  • Partner with subject-matter experts to develop practical, competency-based training that reflects actual work, hazards, and equipment.
  • Evaluate field application, not just course completion.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in power electronics, electrical equipment manufacturing, energy, advanced manufacturing, testing, or similarly complex technical environments.
  • Experience supporting high-power electrical test operations.
  • Experience developing multi-site or company-wide EHS programs and competency-based qualification programs.

About the Company

Amperesand

Modular solid-state transformers for grid power

Amperesand develops modular solid-state transformers (SSTs) for grid infrastructure using silicon carbide (SiC) devices and proprietary high-frequency transformers. The SSTs are digitally controlled and bidirectional, offered in 2, 4, and 6 MW modules that can be combined to meet larger needs, replacing traditional transformers, switchgear, and UPS in a single AI-driven system. It differentiates itself through the combination of SiC SSTs, proprietary high-frequency transformers, digital power management, and leadership from NTU R&D spun out with Temasek’s Xora Innovation, plus an experienced team from ABB, GE, Siemens, and Vestas. The goal is to speed up the energy transition by delivering scalable, compact SST systems for EV charging networks, microgrids, data centers, and industrial power, with first deliveries planned for 2025 in the US and Singapore.
