About the Team OpenAI’s Industrial Compute organization is building the infrastructure required to support the next generation of AI at unprecedented scale. Through a combination of strategic partnerships and self-built campuses, we are developing and operating large-scale data center infrastructure across power, cooling, networking, compute, construction, and site operations. The scale and complexity of this infrastructure introduces a broad range of environmental, health, and safety considerations across site development, design, construction, equipment deployment, commissioning, and ongoing operations. EHS is a critical part of how we build infrastructure that is safe, resilient, compliant, and capable of operating at scale. About the Role We are seeking an EHS Lead to establish and drive environmental, health, and safety strategy across OpenAI’s rapidly expanding compute infrastructure portfolio. This role will develop the EHS framework for large-scale data center development and operations, partnering closely with engineering, construction, infrastructure delivery, facilities, operations, security, legal, environmental, and external development partners. The EHS Lead will help ensure that safety and environmental considerations are embedded into projects from early design and site development through construction, commissioning, and operations. The role will establish standards and operating mechanisms, assess and mitigate risks, oversee EHS performance across internal teams and third-party partners, and provide technical leadership on complex or high-consequence safety issues. Success requires the ability to operate strategically while maintaining strong technical depth and executional rigor in fast-moving, highly complex infrastructure environments.
