We're looking for an experienced EH&S Manager to take ownership of Environmental, Health & Safety programs at a long-established metal processing operation in Wabash.

The biggest priorities are regulatory compliance, supervisor development, and building greater ownership of EH&S practices throughout the operation.

This is a hands-on position for someone who is comfortable being on the floor, identifying risks, having difficult conversations when necessary, and helping supervisors and employees understand what good safety practices look like.

• Own day-to-day EH&S programs, practices, and protocols
• Inspect work areas, equipment, and processes for safety and regulatory compliance
• Identify hazards and recommend corrective measures
• Have the authority to stop at-risk behaviors and unsafe conditions

• Maintain the SDS database and related documentation

• Conduct safety training and employee education
• Provide new-employee safety orientations
• Develop and maintain training materials
• Work with supervisors to improve their ownership of EH&S programs
• Help supervisors understand and consistently enforce safety practices

The role will work directly around the facility's primary hazards, including:

• Active industrial yard operations

Required:

• 5+ years of EH&S experience
• Strong understanding of OSHA and environmental regulations
• Experience working in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Strong problem-solving and investigative skills
• Ability to understand production processes and identify potential hazards
