The Operational Safety Lead serves as the strategic safety partner for Operations while ensuring the safe execution of daily production, maintenance, project, and contractor activities at the Guanajuato plant. The role translates operational risk, incident learning, and performance data into priorities and prevention strategies while coordinating the operational safety team and critical controls. The position ensures risk-based coverage for a 24/7 operation, governs applicable legal requirements and safety KPIs, and acts as the first quality gate for accident and incident investigations, strengthening decision-making, learning, and the plant's Zero Harm culture.

How You'll Make an Impact

- Develop and execute risk-based coverage strategies for a 24/7 operation, coordinating daily assignments, shifts, and resources for the operational safety team and prioritizing high-risk, non-routine, shutdown, construction, project, and contractor activities according to operational needs.
- Review, authorize, and close permits to work for hot work, confined spaces, working at heights, electrical work and LOTO, line breaking, excavation, construction, and other critical activities; provide specialized control of complex and large-tonnage lifting operations, including lift plans, crane and rigging conditions, ground or structural capacity, exclusion zones, and personnel qualifications.
- Conduct field inspections, critical-control verifications, safety observations,



and compliance audits; stop unsafe work immediately, ensure conditions are corrected, and authorize restart only after controls have been revalidated.
- Supervise contractor execution in the field, verify training, certifications, equipment condition, personal protective equipment, task risk assessments, and lifting or work plans, and elevate repeated or serious deviations through the contractor-management process.
- Act as the first quality gate for accident, incident, and high-potential-event investigations: confirm initial classification and escalation, ensure immediate containment, preserve evidence, validate the investigation team and methodology, challenge causal analysis, and verify that corrective actions address systemic and operational causes before formal review.
- Govern applicable legal and corporate requirements and their operational evidence, and own the management cycle for safety KPIs such as incidents, near misses, severity, high-risk work, inspections, deviations, and action closure; analyze trends, facilitate performance reviews with Operations, and translate findings into prevention, resource, and 24/7 coverage strategies.
