Step into our Roots Blower group, a longstanding cornerstone of Connersville, IN, as our Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Specialist. This role is a key driver of regulatory compliance, risk reduction, and environmental stewardship within a dynamic manufacturing environment. You will lead the development and continuous improvement of safety and environmental programs that protect employees, ensure OSHA and EPA compliance, and strengthen a proactive safety culture across the site.
