Hermeus is an aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate air travel by delivering hypersonic aircraft. The company aims to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly and cost-effectively by integrating hardware-rich, iterative development with modern computing and autonomy. This approach has been validated through design, build, and test of the company’s first combined turbojet-ramjet engine and is now being scaled through its first flight vehicle program, Quarterhorse. Hermeus is also developing Darkhorse — an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed to deliver unique asymmetric capabilities to the warfighter.
We are seeking an individual that is rich with experience in the aviation industry. You are a driven and dynamic EHS professional, poised to join our company's Environmental, Health, and Safety team.

You will play a critical role in ensuring that our operations meet or exceed regulatory compliance standards and industry best practices. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to foster a culture of safety and environmental sustainability.
In this position, you will be based at our Test Facility in Jacksonville Florida but will also be responsible for the implementation of the same EH&S policies at our other locations, promoting consistency, scalability, and uniformity.

- Lead and conduct training sessions for employees to promote awareness and understanding of EHS practices and procedures.
- Investigate incidents, accidents, and near-misses, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate EHS considerations into the design and development of products and processes.
- Monitor and report key EHS performance metrics to senior management, providing recommendations for continuous improvement.
- Develop emergency response plans and ensure preparedness for various potential crises or environmental emergencies.
- Perform Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Safety Reviews, issue Hot Work Permits and ensure all contractors meet safety standards.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in occupational health and safety, Environmental Science, Aviation Management, or related field.
- Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in environmental, health, and safety roles, preferably in the aviation or aerospace industry.
- Strong knowledge of federal, state, and local regulations governing environmental, health, and safety practices.
- Experience developing and implementing safety programs, policies, and procedures.
- Familiarity with aviation-specific safety practices, including those related to jet engine testing and maintenance.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage with employees at all levels of the organization.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with attention to detail and accuracy.
- Professional certifications such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) preferred.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and other relevant software applications.
- Must be able to travel to other Hermeus locations as well as new “prospect” sites.
- Experience working with DOD, DOT, FAA and NTSB a plus.
