EHS Specialist II

ICON is looking to add a Safety expert to its growing EHS team that will be the boots-on-the-ground presence across ICON's residential, commercial, and defense construction sites and general industry operations — owning inspections, independent incident investigations, contractor compliance, and field training delivery.  Success looks like: all active construction and general industry sites receiving consistent audit coverage within 60 days; incident investigations owned end-to-end with corrective actions tracked to closure; field training delivered consistently to crews and subcontractors; and a visible, trusted EHS presence that reinforces ICON's safety culture every day.
