This position is responsible for developing and maintaining a world-class safety culture while ensuring compliance with all applicable OSHA, EPA, state, local, and company requirements.
Reporting to the Complex Manager, the EHS Manager serves as the facility's subject matter expert for occupational safety, environmental compliance, emergency preparedness, workers' compensation, contractor safety, and regulatory compliance.

Perform root cause analysis, ensure corrective actions are implemented and verified, and manage workers' compensation claims and return-to-work programs.
- Training & Employee Development: Develop and deliver safety orientation for new employees, ongoing regulatory and site-specific safety training, and ensure all required employee certifications remain current. Coach supervisors and managers on safety leadership and accountability.
- Emergency Preparedness: Develop and maintain the facility Emergency Action Plan, coordinate emergency response planning with local responders, and lead emergency drills including fire, medical, severe weather, chemical release, and evacuation exercises.
- Continuous Improvement: Conduct facility safety audits, behavioral observations, and compliance assessments. Analyze leading and lagging safety indicators and develop initiatives that improve employee engagement, environmental performance, and reduce operational risk.

The ideal candidate is a visible safety leader who builds relationships throughout the organization while maintaining uncompromising standards for employee safety and environmental compliance. This individual possesses strong regulatory knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to influence every level of the organization.
- Experience: You have five or more years of EHS leadership experience in food, pet food, feed, or other manufacturing environments, with comprehensive knowledge of OSHA regulations and environmental compliance requirements, incident investigation, and corrective action implementation.
- Education: A bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, Industrial Hygiene, Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
- Leader: You are a visible, credible safety leader with strong leadership and coaching abilities who fosters a safety-first culture and empowers employees at every level to identify and eliminate hazards.
- Communicator: You possess excellent communication and presentation skills and a demonstrated ability to influence organizational culture and engage stakeholders across the business.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in EHS manager jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in occupational health, environmental science, engineering, or a related field
- Certified Safety Professional (CSP) credential or active pursuit of certification
- Hands-on knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 regulatory standards
- 5 or more years of direct EHS management experience in an industrial or field setting
- Proficiency with incident reporting and EHS management software platforms
- Experience conducting root cause analysis and managing corrective action programs
Tips for Your EHS Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to OSHA focus areas
Generic safety resumes lose to candidates who call out specific OSHA standards they've implemented, such as 29 CFR 1910 for general industry or 1926 for construction. List the standard, the context, and the measurable outcome it produced.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists ehs manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Lead with incident rate reductions on your resume
EHS managers are evaluated on outcomes, not activities. Recruiters want to see your TRIR or DART rate before and after your tenure. Quantify the drop you achieved, the workforce size, and the time frame to make the impact concrete.
Filter openings by your strongest certifications
Postings that require a CSP, CIH, or CHMM often filter applicants early. Search for those acronyms in job listings to find roles where your credentials give you an immediate edge over candidates who are still pursuing them.
Prepare scenario answers around near-miss investigations
Interviewers in EHS nearly always ask how you've handled a near-miss or incident. Prepare a structured answer covering your root cause analysis method, the corrective actions you assigned, and how you tracked closure to prevent recurrence.
Negotiate using industry-specific benchmark data
When discussing compensation, reference Bureau of Labor Statistics data for your region and industry sector. Pairing that with your certification level and the site's hazard profile gives you a credible, defensible basis for your ask.
EHS Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most ehs managers?
The companies hiring the most ehs managers right now include Amazon, Skanska, and Aecon Group, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Ohio, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Manufacturing, energy, and large construction contractors tend to drive the highest sustained demand for this role.
How many ehs manager jobs are remote?
About 22% of ehs manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the predominantly site-based nature of the role. Environmental compliance program management and corporate EHS policy positions are the sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid flexibility, while plant-level and field safety roles are almost always on-site.
How do you become an ehs manager?
Start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, occupational safety, engineering, or a closely related field. Build several years of hands-on safety experience in an industrial or field environment, then pursue a Certified Safety Professional credential to strengthen your candidacy for management-level roles. Employers also look for documented experience running incident investigations, managing regulatory audits, and writing safety programs from scratch.
Can you get hired as an ehs manager with little experience?
Breaking in is possible if you position entry-level safety coordinator or environmental compliance technician roles as direct stepping stones. Completing an OSHA 30-hour course, earning an associate safety professional credential, and volunteering to lead a safety committee at your current employer all demonstrate initiative. Roles at smaller manufacturers or general contractors are often more open to candidates who are still building their incident management track history.
What does the ehs manager interview process look like?
Most processes run three stages: an initial recruiter screen covering your regulatory background and certification status, a technical panel with the plant or operations leadership team where you walk through past incident investigations and audit results, and a final interview focused on culture fit and how you influence safety behavior across frontline workers. Some employers add a written exercise asking you to review a mock OSHA citation and outline your response plan.
Where can I find and apply to ehs manager jobs?
You can find and apply to ehs manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your industry background, certification level, and location preference, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
