Environmental Health and Safety Manager

Overview

Build the safety culture at one of the West's leading wholesale distributors!

PACE Supply is a 100% employee-owned wholesale distributor of plumbing, waterworks, HVAC and industrial products, serving contractors and communities across the western United States. Our people are our owners, and keeping every one of them safe is not a program — it is how we operate.

We are looking for an Environmental, Health and Safety Manager to develop, implement and continuously improve EHS programs across our multi-site warehouse, distribution and production operations. This is a hands‑on, high‑visibility role. You will spend most of your time in the field — walking warehouses and yards, coaching supervisors, investigating incidents and making sure corrective actions actually close.

If you would rather build a safety culture than administer a binder, this is your seat.

• 100% employee-owned. Every employee is an owner through our ESOP — your work builds your own stake.
• Real influence. This position reports directly to the EHS Director and presents to senior leadership. You will shape the program, not just maintain it.
• Scale. 37 locations across the western U.S., with the variety of warehouse, distribution and production environments that comes with it.
• Benefits. Medical, dental and vision; 401(k); ESOP; paid time off and holidays.

• Associate degree in occupational health and safety, environmental science or a related field — or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Minimum 5 years of progressive EHS experience, including direct responsibility for safety and environmental programs across multiple warehouse, distribution, manufacturing or production locations.
• Proven experience managing incident investigations and root‑cause analysis, corrective‑action tracking, safety audits, regulatory reporting and EHS metrics.
• Experience in a multi‑state operating environment.
• Strong working knowledge of applicable federal and state EHS laws and regulations, and the ability to interpret government and corporate EHS and OSHA regulations and policy.
• Computer proficiency and technical aptitude with Microsoft products, including Excel.
• Excellent time management, organization and attention to detail, with the ability to plan and set priorities.
• Strong verbal, written and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work credibly at every level of the organization.
• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 70% of the time, including occasional overnight travel.

• 5 years of experience in the same capacity or function.
• OSHA and/or professional safety certifications (CSP, ASP, CHST, OSHA 500/501 or comparable).

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations. PACE Supply will consider qualified applicants with a criminal history pursuant to employment regulations.

• Establish safety policies, guidelines and procedures, and maintain environmental policy and procedure manuals.
• Conduct safety risk assessments, hazard analyses and site inspections of racking, warehouse, yard and equipment.
• Prepare hazard and corrective‑action reports for branch managers and supervisors.
• Review and audit site safety programs for compliance with federal, state and local requirements.
• Observe work practices in the field and coach employees and supervisors on identifying and correcting unsafe conditions.
• Attend branch safety trainings and coach safety coaches and supervisors on effective…
