At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven't been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

EHS Specialist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ehs specialist in Florida?
Most ehs specialist roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in occupational safety, environmental science, or industrial hygiene, along with OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification as a baseline credential. Florida does not issue a state-specific EHS license, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold or are pursuing the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) designation through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. Many Florida employers in construction and manufacturing also value the Associate Safety Professional (ASP) credential as a stepping stone.
How much do EHS specialists make in Florida?
EHS specialists in Florida earn a median of about $88,820 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,050 for the lowest 10% to over $133,120 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ehs specialists in Florida?
Employers hiring ehs specialists in Florida right now include Relativity Space, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, and Action, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's aerospace, utility, and large-scale retail distribution industries have historically generated some of the most consistent ehs specialist openings in the state.
Which Florida cities have the most ehs specialist jobs?
Orlando, Cape Canaveral, and Coral Gables account for the largest share of ehs specialist openings in Florida. Jacksonville's heavy industrial and logistics presence, Tampa's concentration of construction and healthcare employers, and Orlando's aerospace and resort-scale facilities each generate steady demand for safety professionals across multiple sectors.
How can I get hired as a ehs specialist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Florida is applying for an EHS coordinator or safety technician role with a large employer that runs structured onboarding for new safety staff, such as major construction contractors, hospital systems, or distribution centers operating in the Jacksonville or Tampa corridors. Completing an OSHA 30-hour construction or general industry course before applying gives candidates a concrete credential. Lateral entry from roles like facilities technician, quality control inspector, or environmental field sampler is common, and an active Associate Safety Professional registration significantly strengthens applications at this level.
