The hiring decision
What makes this hire work on your plant floor?
Your EHS Engineer opening is about engineering controls connecting equipment design with EHS requirements, not a familiar title on a resume. Start with a machine or process change that removed an identified hazard.

Write down who is accountable for engineering controls connecting equipment design with EHS requirements today. If responsibility for engineering controls connecting equipment design with EHS requirements is divided between several people, tell us where this hire's work begins and ends. That explanation helps separate their capability from a team's success at engineering controls connecting equipment design with EHS requirements.
Discuss what information was available during a machine or process change that removed an identified hazard.
