Desired Skills:

 * Direct experience with TSCA Section 6 chemicals of defense interest, EPA coordination, or DoD Chemical and Material Risk Management Program (CMRMP) support.
 * Experience with PFAS as an emerging-chemical / materials-substitution / compliance issue (not solely cleanup).
 * Familiarity with Army or DoD acquisition and product-support processes, including how material restrictions affect weapon systems, maintenance, and the defense industrial base.
 * Experience with supply-chain risk management, critical-chemical mapping, or authorized-use / substitution analysis.
 * Experience developing RDT&E statements of need, requirements documents, or similar S&T tasking products.
 * Knowledge of OSHA/Army occupational-exposure issues for industrial chemicals and of installation hazardous-materials systems (e.g., EESOH-MIS or equivalent).
 * CHMM, CIH, CSP, PE, or similar credential.
 * Experience with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Power BI, Visio, and related collaboration tools.

## Description

* Establish and support an ESOH Emerging Challenges working group, including agendas, records, action tracking, and follow-up.
 * Develop and maintain records-management and information-sharing processes for emerging ESOH chemical issues.
 * Analyze proposed and final TSCA Section 6, REACH, PFAS, and related regulatory actions and advise on Army equities, uses, and required responses.
 * Support integration of the working group with the Army installation-management community and with weapon-system acquisition stakeholders.
 * Coordinate with the Supply Chain Risk Management community to identify mission-critical chemical uses and mitigation options.
 * Support a threat-analysis effort covering emerging environmental chemicals, PFAS, and evolving U.S. and international regulations (weather/climate impacts only as they relate to this portfolio).
 * Help identify and track chemical locations and uses across Army installations, processes, and systems.
 * Collect and validate ESOH-related technology and material needs from installations and program offices.
 * Develop or support statements of need and related documentation for RDT&E projects addressing emerging ESOH chemical requirements.
 * Coordinate with EPA and other federal, state, and local regulatory entities as directed.
 * Prepare briefings, information papers, metrics, and senior-leader products; review work for technical accuracy and Army quality standards.
