Engineer, Environmental Health & Safety

Engineer, Environmental Health & Safety

At Torani, flavor is our passion but it's our people who bring that passion to life. Their safety, wellbeing, and growth are at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to scale our manufacturing operations and distribution network, we're looking for an EHS Engineer to help bring our safety and environmental vision to life, translating strategy into meaningful, day-to-day impact across the floor.

In this role, you'll lead the implementation and continuous improvement of Environmental Health & Safety programs across production, packaging, and warehouse environments. Partnering closely with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, and Warehouse teams, you'll ensure safety, environmental compliance, and food safety considerations are seamlessly embedded into how work gets done. You bring both technical depth and a practical understanding of how operations really run, helping teams identify risk, make sound decisions, and operate safely and efficiently, even in fast-paced environments.

At Torani, a Certified B Corporation, we flavor more than just drinks - we flavor lives. You'll join a people-first, purpose-driven team committed to building a safe, sustainable, and inspiring workplace where everyone can thrive and where safety is something we live, not just something we follow.

Success Factors (First 12-24 Months)

• Safety in Action Leader: You elevated how safety shows up in the everyday by bringing EHS expectations to life in ways that made sense on the floor. With a deep understanding of how work happens across production, sanitation, maintenance, and warehouse operations, you translated requirements into clear, practical routines teams could execute with confidence. Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), audits, and frontline engagement became powerful tools for prevention; helping teams anticipate risk, strengthen safe behaviors, and keep operations flowing smoothly.
• Environmental & Compliance Champion: You've ensured Torani's operations consistently exceed environmental and regulatory expectations. From hazardous waste and wastewater to air emissions, stormwater, and spill prevention, programs were well-managed, audit-ready, and continuously improving. Through strong systems, clear documentation, and proactive follow-through, audits and inspections became opportunities to reinforce excellence and build confidence across the organization.
• Risk Detective & Prevention Driver: You've approached incidents and near misses with curiosity and rigor and always dig deeper to uncover root causes and system-level insights. Investigations led to meaningful corrective and preventive actions that reduced repeat risk. With your thorough approach and clear communication, you've strengthened how the organization learns and never loses sight of continuous improvement in safety for all team members. By leveraging data across TRIR, DART, near misses, and environmental metrics, you helped shift the mindset from reacting to issues to anticipating and preventing them.
• Seamless Partner in Safety & Operations: You strengthened the connection between EHS, Quality, and Operations, ensuring safety and food safety worked together with how the business runs. By partnering closely with Manufacturing, Warehouse, Engineering, and Quality teams, you helped embed safe practices into equipment design, process changes, and daily routines. Your ability to balance compliance with operational realities made safety feel like an enabler of performance, not a barrier.
• Capability Builder & Continuous Improvement Champion: You built safety capability across the organization by coaching leaders and teams to take ownership of EHS in their day-to-day work. Through engaging training, hands-on support, and clear expectations, you helped teams understand both the "what" and the "why." You partnered on capital projects, Management of Change (MOC), and ergonomic improvements-while strengthening systems, tools, and data visibility. Over time, safety, sustainability, and continuous improvement became more deeply embedded in how Torani operates.
• You Make Space for Fun: You help create a team environment where people enjoy working together, feel appreciated, and find joy in the day-to-day.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Health & Safety, Engineering, Environmental Science, or another relevant discipline; advanced degree and/or significant EHS-related experience may be considered in lieu of a specific undergraduate major.

• Professional certifications (CSP, ASP, CIH, CHMM, or similar) preferred or willingness to obtain
• Strong working knowledge of Cal OSHA, EPA, and environmental compliance requirements
• Experience supporting food manufacturing environments, including GMPs, sanitation, and FSMA-related practices
• Strong data and analytical skills, including tracking and interpreting EHS metrics
