What Does a EHS Manager Do?

Developing and maintaining EHS programmes and procedures, conducting safety inspections and hazard assessments, managing OSHA recordkeeping and reporting, leading incident investigation and root cause analysis, managing environmental permits and compliance, training supervisors and employees on safety, and supporting corporate EHS initiatives.

What We Screen For

5–10 years of manufacturing EHS experience with demonstrated OSHA compliance management, OSHA 30-hour certification minimum (CSP or CIH preferred), experience with Workers' Compensation management, and genuine safety leadership and culture-building capability beyond compliance.

💡 Hiring Insight

EHS managers who have achieved sustained improvement in TRIR and DART rates — not just following an incident that forced focus — demonstrate the proactive safety leadership that actually reduces injury risk. Ask specifically about what leading indicators they tracked and what they did with them.

Typical Compensation
$80,000 – $130,000
CSP or CIH certification, multi-site EHS management, and regulated industry experience command the top of this range.
