Member of Designated Urgent Response Team (Regular rotation, 24/7, every 4th week or more frequently as needed.) •Provide technical support to the Dedicated Urgent Response Team (DURT) program by serving as a “Designated Responder”. Must be accessible via telephone or pager and readily available to respond on-scene to emergencies (e.g., a chemical spill) during business hours. Will perform directly or coordinate any necessary field activities to evaluate and mitigate a hazard. •Provide technical support to the DURT program by serving as the “Lead Off-Hours Responder”. Must be accessible by UCPD via telephone or pager and readily available to respond on-scene to emergencies (e.g., a chemical spill) during non-business hours. Must be within one hour of campus and may not engage in activity that will affect the ability to respond. •To serve as a designated responder, incumbent must meet the specific requirements of the DURT program as outlined in the EH&S DURT Program Guidelines. These include occupational physical qualifications. •Medical baseline is required.

Performs other duties as assigned, including but not limited to, •At the request of campus management (EH&S Director, VC Administration, UCPD Chief, or designated alternate), serve in a designate role within the EH&S Emergency Support Function and be on call to the campus Emergency Operations Center in a campus designated disaster or campus hazardous material release/threatened release. Provide appropriate emergency response role based upon expertise and, where applicable, designated departmental role.

Staff development: Works on professional committees and assignments, participates in professional training and attends relevant conferences, and/or is mentored or coached on a formal or informal basis.

**Governing Laws and Regulations Incumbent's responsibilities are guided by a significant number of federal, State, and local laws and regulations as well as campus policy. There are municipal, regional, county, State, and federal regulators that have jurisdiction, often overlapping, over those campus programs and activities being audited. The following environmental, health and safety subject areas each have multiple laws and regulations which may apply to UC Berkeley: •Worker Health and Safety •Hazardous Materials/Waste Management •Air Quality Management •Water Quality Protection

Specific laws and regulations are too numerous to list.•Prior experience with electrical, mechanical, and some chemical safety as well as experience with cryogens and various energized equipment found in Engineering and Physics department labs. •Thorough knowledge/understanding of specific EH&S field(s) including related laws and regulations; and general knowledge/understanding of all EH&S fields. •Thorough knowledge and skill in applying and interpreting applicable local, state, and federal regulations and related standards and guidelines. •Thorough written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, including political acumen and skill to communicate effectively in a diverse environment. •Strong analytical and organizational skills to organize, prioritize and manage the successful completion of projects within time and budget constraints. •Skill to appropriately use technology and relevant scientific equipment as required. •Ability to apply standard or existing professional approaches and techniques from more than one environmental, health, and safety disciplines to solve difficult problems. •Experience with a variety of professional environmental, health and safety field work.
