Job Description

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.

• 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

• 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
