About the job

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up.

Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together.

Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting.

We're not here to slow things down; we're here to enable safe speed. At this stage in Relativity’s trajectory, you'll have the rare opportunity to shape how EHS is embedded in every process and decision, from the factory floor to the launch pad.

We have a voice at every level, and we use it to build a culture where EHS isn’t just about compliance, but rather a shared responsibility amongst all employees. ## About the Role - Collaborate with engineering and operational teams from technician level to site leadership on a variety of safety topics from the planning through execution phases. - Identify hazards, perform risk assessments like 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, mechanical systems, and more. - Build out safety processes and programs for Launch Operations based on on-site observations, identified gaps, and feedback from all levels of personnel. - Balance time between program development and in-field support, helping to build on our positive safety culture through visibility and availability. - Conduct safety audits, inspections, and incident investigations using root cause investigation strategies and provide meaningful corrective action recommendations. - Long term this position will include vehicle processing and launch support, which covers ground support equipment as well as a wide range of EHS topics.

These areas may include hearing protection, respiratory protection, hazard communication, industrial hygiene, and more. ## About You - 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 but not required - 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, etc. - Relevant Certifications: Associate Safety Professional (ASP) or 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. ## Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
