Conduct and oversee regular site inspections, facility audits, vehicle inspections, environmental compliance checks, and safety assessments at terminals, field locations, and fleet operations.
Provide hands-on training, coaching, and leadership to drivers, terminal staff, operations teams, and leadership on EHS procedures, regulatory compliance, hazard recognition, safe handling of fuels/lubricants/hazmat, and emergency response.

Ensure daily operational compliance with DOT regulations for hazardous materials transportation, OSHA standards for workplace safety, TCEQ requirements (e.g., petroleum storage tanks, air permitting, spill prevention/control, emissions from fuel handling), and other applicable environmental/health/safety rules.
Develop and maintain emergency response plans, spill prevention/countermeasure plans (SPCC), and preparedness programs; coordinate drills and response activities.
Manage environmental programs including hazardous waste handling, storage tank compliance, air/water permitting, emissions monitoring, and sustainability initiatives to reduce environmental impact.
