What you’ll do
As the Client and Field Service EHS Manager, you will own safety and regulatory compliance for Giga's field service organization — the technicians and electrical engineers who work at customer and project sites across Texas, California, and Nevada. That means building and running the EHS programs that keep a distributed, multi-state workforce safe and compliant with Federal OSHA, Cal/OSHA, and Nevada OSHA, and reconciling the gaps where state requirements exceed federal standards. You'll spend real time in the field — training crews, coaching technicians on electrical safety and LOTO, and being present where energized work actually happens — while partnering closely with the Field Service Manager to make sure safety is built into how the team dispatches and works, not bolted on after the fact.
Responsibilities
Multi-State Compliance Program
- Develop and maintain written EHS programs that satisfy Federal OSHA, Cal/OSHA, and Nevada OSHA requirements for all field service work, flagging and resolving conflicts where state requirements exceed federal standards
- Track regulatory changes across all three jurisdictions and update programs, training, and documentation accordingly
- Maintain state-specific program elements, including California's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) and Heat Illness Prevention Plan
- Serve as the primary point of contact for OSHA, Cal/OSHA, and Nevada OSHA inspections, inquiries, or audits involving field service personnel
Field Service Safety Programs
- Own safety programs specific to field service work, including electrical safety/arc flash (NFPA 70E), lockout/tagout, working at height, PIT/MEWP operation, and rigging
- Ensure electrical engineers and technicians performing energized or de-energized electrical work follow qualified-person requirements and proper PPE selection
- Develop job hazard analyses (JHAs) for common field service tasks and ensure crews complete pre-task hazard assessments before work begins
- Establish minimum PPE, tooling, and safety equipment standards for field service vehicles and technicians
Training & Field Support
- Develop and deliver (directly or through qualified trainers) training required for field service personnel, including electrical safety, LOTO, PIT/MEWP, fall protection, first aid/CPR/AED, and HAZCOM
- Travel to field sites (~40%) to observe work practices, coach technicians and engineers, and provide hands-on support and training
- Maintain training records and certifications for all field service technicians and electrical engineers across all three states
- Partner with the Field Service Manager to build safety accountability into scheduling, dispatch, and performance expectations
Incident Management
- Investigate incidents, near-misses, and injuries involving field service personnel, regardless of the state in which they occurred
- Maintain OSHA recordkeeping (300/300A/301 logs) and ensure compliance with each state's specific reporting timelines and requirements
- Identify trends across states and job types and drive corrective action to prevent recurrence
Customer & Site Coordination
- Coordinate with customer sites and host employers to understand and comply with site-specific safety requirements in addition to Giga Energy's own standards
- Ensure field service personnel have the documentation (certifications, training records) needed to gain site access at customer and partner locations
Requirements
- 4+ years of EHS experience supporting field service, construction, or other mobile/distributed workforces
- Working knowledge of Federal OSHA 1910/1926 standards, with direct experience applying Cal/OSHA and/or Nevada OSHA requirements
- Experience with electrical safety programs (NFPA 70E, LOTO) relevant to field electrical testing and service work
- Willingness and ability to travel approximately 40% of the time to job sites across Texas, California, and Nevada
- Strong communication and coaching skills, with the ability to build safety buy-in among a distributed, mobile workforce
Bonus points
- Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Associate Safety Professional (ASP), or similar certification
- OSHA 30-Hour General Industry certification; NFPA 70E qualified electrical worker training
- Experience supporting electrical engineers or technicians performing transformer, switchgear, or medium-voltage equipment testing
- Experience building or scaling an EHS program across multiple states or regulatory jurisdictions
