- Develop, approve, and maintain enterprise standards governing the manufacture, processing, handling, transportation, storage, integration, shipment, and disposal of energetic materials.

- Provide technical oversight for operations involving energetic materials.

- Serve as the enterprise technical authority for the design, expansion, modernization, and commissioning of facilities supporting energetic manufacturing and operations.

- Establish explosive safety design criteria for new facilities, production lines, magazines, storage areas, and integration facilities.

- Review and approve facility layouts, equipment installations, process modifications, and capital projects to ensure compliance with explosive safety and process safety requirements.

- Ensure facility and manufacturing process designs incorporate inherently safer design principles, risk reduction methodologies, and operational resilience.

- Lead or provide technical oversight for Process Hazard Analyses (PHA), Process Hazard Reviews (PHR), Explosive Safety Site Plans (ESSP), Hazard Classification, Quantity-Distance (Q-D) analyses, and other explosive and process safety assessments.

- Establish enterprise requirements for explosive operating limits, magazine operations, facility siting, lightning protection, fire protection, blast mitigation, and personnel protection.

- Review and approve explosive operating procedures, safety documentation, and risk acceptance packages.

- Lead investigations of energetic incidents, near misses, and process anomalies, identifying root causes and ensuring effective corrective and preventive actions.

- Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Facilities Engineering, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Strategic Real Estate, and the Lethality organization to integrate energetic safety into products, processes, and facilities.

- Monitor emerging technologies, evolving regulations, and industry best practices, incorporating them into company standards.
