Safety​/EHS Consultant

Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Consultant – Contract

We are partnering with a chemical manufacturing organization seeking a highly experienced Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Consultant to step into a hands‑on leadership role during a critical compliance and program enhancement phase.

This is not a “sit back and advise” consulting opportunity — our client needs someone who can immediately hit the ground running, assess existing programs, identify gaps, ensure compliance, and actively help execute improvements across the facility.

The organization already has a solid foundation in place, but they are looking for a senior‑level safety professional who can strengthen programs, guide leadership, support ongoing compliance initiatives, and mentor internal safety personnel.

• Evaluate and strengthen existing EHS programs and procedures
• Ensure OSHA and chemical manufacturing compliance standards are being met
• Conduct hands‑on safety training and coaching for leadership and employees
• Lead and support compliance initiatives including:
• HAZCOM
• SDS management
• Respiratory protection & fit testing
• Hearing conservation
• Spill response & waste disposal
• Fall protection
• Ergonomics
• Active shooter training
• Assist with medical surveillance coordination including blood draws and hearing testing
• Partner with leadership to identify compliance risks and implement practical corrective actions
• Serve as a mentor and guide to internal safety personnel during transition and growth phases

• Strong background in chemical manufacturing or highly regulated industrial environments
• Proven experience leading EHS compliance programs in manufacturing settings
• Deep understanding of OSHA regulations and compliance requirements
• OSHA 30 certification strongly preferred
• Experience with HAZCOM, SDS systems, respiratory protection, and chemical handling protocols
• Ability to work both strategically and tactically — this role requires someone willing to be highly hands‑on
• Strong communication and training abilities
• Consultant mindset with operational execution capability

• This is expected to be a 3–6 month engagement
• Ideal for a seasoned EHS professional or consultant looking for impactful project‑based work
• Client is especially interested in candidates with extensive chemical safety and compliance experience

If you’re an experienced EHS leader who enjoys improving programs, mentoring teams, and creating practical compliance solutions in manufacturing environments, we’d love to connect.
