AI Specialist (EHS)

Location- Ruddington, Nottinghamshire Level - Professional Department - Product R&D Working Pattern - Hybrid (three days a week in the head office) Benefits - Salary - To be discussed at next stage Ideagen is building AI for environments where safety, accuracy and professional judgement truly matter. As an AI EHS Specialist, you'll apply your real-world EHS experience to shape how AI systems understand, assess and respond to safety-critical scenarios. This role is designed for practitioners who have worked operationally - investigating incidents, managing permits, assessing risk, and making decisions that directly affect worker safety and now want to apply that expertise at scale. Rather than managing EHS within a single organisation, you'll help define what good and safe practice looks like for an AI platform used by thousands of safety professionals. Your judgement will directly influence how models classify incidents, assess serious injury and fatality (SIF) risk, validate permits-to-work, and interpret regulatory requirements. You don't need AI experience for this role. What matters is operational credibility, strong professional judgement, and the ability to evaluate decisions rigorously and consistently.Label EHS training data in line with defined annotation guidelines, including incident classification, permit-to-work validation, SIF severity assessment, and hazard taggingEvaluate AI model outputs during testing cycles, scoring responses against expert rubrics and clearly documenting what the correct EHS response should be and whyTest AI capabilities against realistic, high-risk operational scenarios using the standard a competent EHS professional would apply in practiceContribute to EHS red-team testing by identifying edge cases, unusual incident patterns, regulatory overlaps, and scenarios likely to expose model weaknessesSupport the curation of the EHS regulatory corpus by identifying gaps, flagging outdated guidance, and recommending authoritative sourcesParticipate in calibration sessions to maintain consistency across labelling and evaluation decisions, resolving differences through clear, evidence-based reasoningWork closely with AI engineers and domain leads, translating practitioner feedback into concrete improvements in model behaviourHelp ensure the AI system doesn't just sound plausible, but genuinely supports safe and responsible decision‑makingProven operational EHS experience, such as incident investigation, risk assessment, permit-to-work systems, or similar frontline safety responsibilitiesA recognised EHS qualification (e.g. NEBOSH National General Certificate or equivalent) with evidence of applied, real-world useStrong written communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain why an EHS response is safe, correct, or unsafeComfortable performing detailed evaluation work at scale while maintaining accuracy and consistencyConfident applying professional judgement in ambiguous or high-risk situationsWilling to challenge outputs that sound credible but could compromise worker safetyAn interest in contributing to AI used in safety‑critical environments, even without a technical backgroundIdeagen is the invisible force behind many things we rely on every day - from keeping airplanes soaring in the sky, to ensuring the food on our tables is safe, to helping doctors and nurses care for the sick.
