Relativity Space is building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. The Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting growing demand for launch capacity. The company is developing a rocket, factory, and business from the ground up, with a culture emphasizing autonomy, ownership, and impact at every level.
The EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) team carries responsibility for keeping people and environments safe while enabling safe speed. At this stage in Relativity's trajectory, this role offers the rare opportunity to shape how EHS is embedded in every process and decision, from the factory floor to the launch pad.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with engineering and operational teams from technician level to site leadership on safety topics from planning through execution phases
- Identify hazards, perform risk assessments including Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and implement effective control measures
- Participate in the build and activation of launch pad ground support equipment, including high-pressure gas systems, cryogenic systems, flammable liquid systems, electrical systems, and mechanical systems
- Build out safety processes and programs for Launch Operations based on on-site observations, identified gaps, and feedback from all personnel levels
- Balance time between program development and in-field support, building positive safety culture through visibility and availability
- Conduct safety audits, inspections, and incident investigations using root cause investigation strategies; provide meaningful corrective action recommendations
- Support vehicle processing and launch operations, covering ground support equipment and a wide range of EHS topics including hearing protection, respiratory protection, hazard communication, and industrial hygiene
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Safety, Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years of EHS experience
- Preferred experience in pressure systems, industrial hygiene, electrical safety, launch operations, aerospace, or other complex technical environments
- Strong knowledge of OSHA, NFPA 70E, ANSI, ASME, and/or related safety standards
- Proven experience conducting risk assessments, hazard analysis, and incident investigations in complex technical environments
- Experience in project management and continuous improvement strategies for various safety programs in a high-speed technical environment
Nice to Haves:
- Experience with high-pressure systems (hydraulic, pneumatic, or gas-based) and/or high-voltage systems, NFPA 70E, electrical safety, and LOTO in industrial or launch operation environments
- Experience in Industrial Hygiene related disciplines such as air monitoring, noise dosimetry, respiratory protection, toxicology
- Relevant Certifications: Associate Safety Professional (ASP), Certified Safety Professional (CSP), OSHA 30 hour, CIH, or other professional safety certifications
- Advanced skill in Microsoft Office tools including familiarity with Power BI and PowerApps
Note: Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at the government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
