Job Overview

The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager is a key plant leadership role within the Ingersoll Rand family, partnering closely with operational teams to lead site-wide EHS programs and ensure compliance with company standards and all local, state, and federal regulations. This role oversees EHS activities, policies, training, and prevention efforts that protect people, processes, and the environment. Beyond compliance, the EHS Manager drives a zero-incident safety culture - working directly with hourly teams and plant leaders to influence behavior, build ownership, and embed safety into daily operations across waste management, contractor safety audits, and emergency preparedness.

Responsibilities

• Culture & Relationship Leadership: • Build positive, collaborative relationships at all levels of the site to foster a zero-incident safety culture and achieve EHS goals and objectives. • Coach and mentor supervisors and employees on safe work practices, hazard identification, and risk management, including establishing and leading a safety committee.

• Policy & Program Implementation: • Implement EHS policies, procedures, training, auditing, reporting, and tracking processes in compliance with Ingersoll Rand requirements and local, state, and federal regulations. • Build and manage contractor management and visitor safety/security programs. • Establish and maintain facility-specific management plans for hazardous and non-hazardous materials, audit treatment, storage, disposal, and recycling facilities. • Manage the safety data sheet (SDS) and new chemical request processes.

• Incident Management & Risk Control: • Lead incident and near-miss reporting, perform root cause analysis to determine corrective actions, and prevent recurrence. • Evaluate non-standard tasks to identify risks and recommend corrective actions. • Complete risk assessments and recommend control measures for potential areas of concern. • Oversee the workers compensation program, including managing transitional, accommodated duty, and return-to-work programs.

• Data Reporting & Continuous Improvement: • Enter track and analyze EHS data using established tools and processes to ensure accuracy. • Deliver timely reports on incidents, audits, environmental metrics, risk assessments, and EHS action items. • Lead and coordinate continuous process improvement initiatives to enhance safety performance.

• Emergency Preparedness: • Oversee the facility emergency response team, ensuring appropriate training in emergency response, spill response, disaster preparedness, and crisis management. • Ensure drills, equipment readiness, and clear communication of responsibilities to personnel.

Requirements

• Bachelors degree in a related discipline to EHS
• 3 years of experience with an emphasis in environmental health and safety management in an industrial and service environment
• 3 years of experience as an effective leader, motivator, and coach

Core Competencies

• Project Management: Review and approve project plans, oversee project execution, balance projects between short and long-term focus, and secure alignment with cross-functional partners.
• Problem Solving: Identify, anticipate, potential problems, support and lead root-cause analysis, evaluate robustness of corrective action plans, and oversee plan implementation.
• Relationship Management: Create a collaborative environment with cross-functional partners, assure regular, appropriate two-way communication flow, build and maintain relationships with employees, peers, and suppliers.
• Data System Process Management: Effectively utilize software systems (e.g., Microsoft suite, Gensuite) to enter data, create reports, create presentations or training resources, analyze trends, and implement process improvements.
• Effective Communicator: Use positive, clear, and understandable verbal and written communications to engage, motivate, and influence at all levels of the organization, and translate complex technical subjects for non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Occupational Safety, Life Safety, or Industrial Hygiene
• One or more safety-related professional certifications (e.g., CIH, CSP)
