We need an EHS Manager who can do more than maintain compliance. We need a true leader who can continuously improve a proactive, accountable, and data-driven safety culture across field and operational environments.

This role is critical to creating a workplace where hazards, near misses, incidents, and environmental concerns are reported early, investigated thoroughly, and acted on quickly. You will lead the systems, behaviors, and reporting rhythms that help employees take ownership of safety, help leaders make better decisions, and help the organization prevent repeat issues before they impact people or operations.

The right person for this role is highly credible in the field, disciplined in reporting, strong in analysis, and comfortable holding teams accountable. You will use data to identify risk, prioritize action, measure performance, and continuously improve how safety is led across the organization.

In this role, you will help the company:

• Build a culture where employees proactively report hazards, near misses, incidents, and unsafe conditions without delay.

• Drive a proactive reporting culture by setting expectations for immediate reporting, accurate documentation, and timely response to hazards, near misses, incidents, injuries, and environmental events.

• Lead incident response and investigations, including fact gathering, root cause analysis, corrective action development, ownership assignment, and closure verification.

• Conduct regular field visits, inspections, audits, and safety observations to identify risks early, validate compliance, and reinforce standards in the field.

• Partner with supervisors and managers to strengthen frontline safety leadership, improve accountability, and coach teams toward better ownership and follow-through.

• Design, coordinate, and deliver effective new hire orientation, refresher training, and targeted training based on operational risk and performance trends.

• Review EHS data to identify gaps in behavior, training, equipment, procedures, and supervision, and drive corrective actions before issues escalated.

• Ensure OSHA-compliant injury, illness, accident, and loss prevention records are accurate, current, and audit-ready.
