Description:

• Despite the title “EHS Specialist I”, this role is heavily focused on Facilities & Lab Services, not traditional EHS.
• The selected candidate will support lab operations and help execute facilities-related tasks managed by the Facilities Lab Services Lead (Siubhan).
• It’s a dynamic, task-oriented position requiring someone flexible, hands-on, and responsive to ad hoc needs.
• Tasks will vary day-to-day depending on what support is required.
• Day-to-Day Responsibilities
• Administer and manage the internal equipment/lab supplies reuse system (“Reply system”).
• Organize equipment/supplies in storage and coordinate internal requests for reuse.
• Participate in Gemba walks with EHS to identify ergonomic or lab setup issues.
• Create work order tickets using Footprints system for lab/facility adjustments.
• Occasionally host and coordinate vendor visits (not responsible for vendor management or technical equipment calibration).
• Must-Have Qualifications & Skills

• 1–3 years in lab operations, facilities, or biotech/pharma support roles.
• CMS/CMMS experience (e.g., Maximo, Footprints, or any similar system).

• Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
• Flexibility to manage varying daily responsibilities.
• Comfortable in a support role with changing priorities.

• Experience in biotech/pharma lab environments.
• Basic EHS knowledge, especially in lab safety (e.g., Gemba walks, ergonomic assessments).
• Experience in university research labs, especially in lab manager or coordinator roles.
• Recent EHS or Facilities graduates with internships in relevant areas.
• Any ACMS/CMMS tools familiarity beyond Maximo (others acceptable due to system similarities).

• Master’s degree holders are generally considered overqualified for this role.
• 10+ years of experience is acceptable if the candidate still fits the task-based, mid-level nature of the position.

• Industry experience (biotech/pharma) is preferred but not mandatory.
• Candidates with strong university-level lab or operations experience will also be considered.
• EHS-focused candidates are fine as long as they’re open to a facilities-heavy role (this is not a direct EHS track).
