We Are:
Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.
We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are over 2,000 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.
LBNF/DUNE-US NEAR SITE ESH COORDINATOR:
Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and South Dakota and at locations around the world, including Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, and the South Pole.
An ESH Coordinator is sought to join Fermilab’s Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Project team. The LBNF/DUNE Project is hosted by Fermilab in Batavia, IL, but includes participation from universities and laboratories from around the world. The project includes construction of a beamline and near detector at Fermilab (the Near Site) and a large underground detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota (the Far Site). The LBNF/DUNE project will design and construct one of the largest proposed neutrino experiments in the world over the next several years.
SUMMARY OF RESPONSIBILITIES:
The LBNF/DUNE Near Site ESH Coordinator organizationally reports to the LBNF/DUNE Project ESH Manager at Fermilab but is responsible to coordinate very closely with the LBNF Near Site Conventional Facilities (NSCF) Project Manager, Construction Coordinators, and other members of the Near Site Conventional Facilities, Beamline, and Near Detector team members. Under limited direction, this position has responsibility to support and provide oversight for the Fermilab ESH program at the LBNF Near Site in Batavia, IL and its implementation by the designated Subcontractors.

- Review engineering documents for compliance with applicable codes and standards. Reviews are not limited to drawings, and the applicable codes and standards are not limited to ESH.
- Submit reports to management as required and requested based on analysis of Lab's ESH and organizational performance.
- Lead in the development of the Division/Section/Center ES&H contractor assurance programs and ensures compliance.
- Provide daily support and oversight to the NSCF Construction Manager Advisor (CMa) Field ESH Coordinators and the Subcontractor ESH Managers.
- Assist in the development of the LBNF construction site work planning and control process including support in the development of the Hazard Analysis (HA) process with the multiple Subcontractors at the Near Site.
- Initiate, perform, and document jobsite inspections and audits with special emphasis on hazard recognition, unsafe behaviors, corrective actions, and lessons learned. This necessitates the ability to think independently, communicate thoroughly and facilitate the implementation of corrective behaviors.
- Act as the primary point of contact for all stakeholders ESH related inquiries at the Near Site.
