Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager

EHS Manager

Overview

·A well-established international manufacturer with decades of continuous operation is looking for a floor-present safety leader to take ownership of an existing EHS program at a large, highly automated production facility.

·The program has solid bones and systems are in place, a coordinator is on staff, and the structure exists. What's missing is the right leader to carry it forward.

·This is a visible, hands-on role. The expectation is that you're on the floor regularly, engaged with the workforce, and active in how safety gets managed day to day. It is not a desk position and not a compliance-only role.

Responsibilities

·Take ownership of all EHS programs across a large-scale automated manufacturing facility

·Lead a small team including a Safety Coordinator and support personnel

·Drive a proactive safety culture through floor presence, employee engagement, and consistent follow-through

·Oversee OSHA recordkeeping, incident investigations, and all required compliance reporting

·Manage environmental programs covering air permits, waste minimization, and recycling

·Monitor industrial hygiene conditions including chemical exposure and noise levels

·Coordinate with regulatory agencies on permitting, inspections, and compliance matters

·Develop and deliver safety training for both associates and management

·Lead safety committee planning and facility-wide safety initiatives

·Conduct regular walkthroughs to identify hazards and engage employees directly

·Set and track departmental safety metrics including lost-time incident goals

·Support continuous improvement efforts and collaborate with plant operations leadership

·Manage new hire safety orientation

Requirements

·BS/BA in Environmental Safety, Industrial Technology, or a related discipline preferred

·2+ years of hands-on plant safety experience in a manufacturing setting required

·Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and practical application in a production environment

·Experience managing or coordinating safety programs — not just supporting them

·Familiarity with regulatory agency coordination and compliance recordkeeping

·Workers' compensation experience strongly preferred

·Comfortable working on the production floor daily

·Strong communicator who can influence at all levels
