As an EHS Specialist, you'll drive safety initiatives, perform incident investigations, develop EHS training, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Summary Generated by Built In

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team: 

The EHS team carries a profound responsibility to keep people and the environments where we operate safe while we build the future. We're not here to slow things down; we're here to enable safe speed. At this stage in Relativity’s trajectory, you'll have the rare opportunity to shape how EHS is embedded in every process and decision, from the factory floor to the launch pad. We have a voice at every level, and we use it to build a culture where EHS isn’t just about compliance, but rather a shared responsibility amongst all employees.

About the Role:

EHS Specialists are the initiators for tasks and objectives related to larger projects and EHS strategy at Relativity’s locations. Specialists are strategic project managers, safety culture drivers, and EHS subject matter experts.  

Responsibilities may include: 

  • Drive incident investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action management. 
  • Providing EHS support to departments across the site, including engineers, specialists, and technicians. 
  • Developing, implementing, tracking and rolling out EHS trainings. 
  • Monitoring waste disposal, spill prevention, and assessing risks while driving mitigation controls to lower risks. 
  • Partnering with the team to create and review risk assessments, such as JHAs (Job Hazard Analyses). 
  • Preparing and providing support for EHS-related activities and documentation. 

About You:

  • Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health and Safety and/or Environmental Sciences (EPA, MDEQ).
  • Minimum of 1-3 years' experience working in the EHS field.
  • Comfortable using Excel, Word, and other Microsoft Office tools.
  • Knowledge of OSHA regulations.
  • Experience performing JHAs (Job Hazard Analyses) and conducting field inspections.
  • Experienced and comfortable delivering training on EHS topics.

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Completion of coursework or training on following topics:
  • OSHA 30 hour – Relativity will provide this training after start date
    • Forklift and/or Aerial lift operator certified
    • Train the Trainer for any EHS Programs  
    • RCRA / DOT Hazardous Waste Certified
