Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.
This position is responsible for leading strategic EH&S initiatives, providing advanced technical expertise, and driving the development and maturity of the site's environmental, health, and safety management systems.

- Conduct advanced risk analyses (e.g., JSI, complex HIRAs, ventilation calculations, exposure modeling, ergonomic assessments).
- Provide expert-level technical guidance to Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance teams.
Environmental Engineering & Compliance Integration
- Lead environmental engineering projects such as emissions reductions, waste minimization, energy efficiency, and water optimization.
- Provide technical support for permitting changes, environmental modeling, and impact analyses.
- Ensure environmental requirements are embedded into process and equipment design (EHS by Design).
Safety, Hygiene & Risk Control
- Lead programs for critical risk management (LOTO, working at heights, confined spaces, machinery safety, IH).
- Implement engineering-based controls for risk reduction and ensure sustainable integration into operations.
- Manage advanced industrial hygiene evaluations and drive the implementation of control strategies.
- Facilitate advanced safety training (not basic training), focusing on engineering controls and risk analysis.
EH&S Management Systems (ISO 14001/ 45001 & Corporate Standards)

Organizational Leadership & Culture Development
- Serve as a technical leader influencing site-wide EH&S decision-making.
- Coach technical staff and contribute to talent development within the EH&S organization.
- Facilitate cross-functional coordination and engagement with Operations, Engineering, Quality, HR, and other support areas.
- Engineering degree (Industrial, Environmental, Mechanical, Chemical, or related).
- Minimum 5–7 years of EH&S engineering experience, with proven technical leadership.
- Prior experience leading multidisciplinary project teams.
- Strong knowledge of Mexican EH&S regulations; OSHA knowledge preferred.
- Solid experience in ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 implementation.
