Environmental Health & Safety Specialist I

Relativity Space is seeking an Environmental Health & Safety Specialist I in Long Beach, CA. The role involves supporting EHS initiatives, risk management, and compliance to enhance workplace safety. Responsibilities include incident investigation, EHS training development, and risk assessment. Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health and Safety or Environmental Sciences, along with 1-3 years of EHS experience and knowledge of OSHA regulations.
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
