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.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in environmental health and safety jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in occupational health, environmental science, or a related field
- OSHA 30-hour general industry or construction certification
- Experience conducting workplace hazard assessments and job safety analyses
- Knowledge of federal and state environmental and occupational safety regulations
- Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) credential
- Proficiency with EHS management software and incident tracking systems
Tips for Your Environmental Health And Safety Job Search
List certifications before job duties
Hiring managers scan EHS resumes for credentials first. Lead your resume header or a prominent certifications section with your CSP, CIH, or OSHA 30 before detailing job duties. Buried certifications are frequently overlooked in applicant tracking systems.
Tailor your resume to industry-specific regulations
An EHS resume that lists OSHA 1910 for manufacturing roles and OSHA 1926 for construction openings reads more relevant than a generic one. Match the specific regulatory standards in your resume language to the sector each posting targets.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists environmental health and safety openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by industry vertical
EHS responsibilities differ significantly between a pharmaceutical clean room and a construction site. Search with industry-specific terms like 'process safety,' 'industrial hygiene,' or 'environmental compliance' alongside your target sector to surface roles where your experience is directly transferable.
Prepare incident investigation case examples
Interviewers in EHS almost always ask you to walk through a real investigation you led, including root cause analysis and corrective actions. Prepare two or three structured examples using a method like the 5 Whys or fault tree analysis before your interview.
Negotiate based on scope, not just title
EHS offer negotiation works best when you anchor on program scope: the number of sites, headcount covered, and regulatory complexity you'll manage. Roles covering multiple facilities or hazardous materials programs typically carry broader accountability, which strengthens your case for a higher band.
Environmental Health And Safety Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most environmental health and safetys?
The companies hiring the most environmental health and safetys right now include SpaceX, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, and STO Building, 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 consistently represent the heaviest hiring volume in this field.
How many environmental health and safety jobs are remote?
About 23% of environmental health and safety openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than most office-based roles because site presence is often required. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements include EHS program management, regulatory compliance consulting, and environmental reporting roles where direct facility oversight is not a daily requirement.
How do you become a environmental health and safety?
Start by earning a bachelor's degree in occupational safety, environmental science, industrial hygiene, or a closely related field. Next, gain field experience through internships, co-ops, or entry-level safety technician roles. Pursue an OSHA 30-hour certification early, then work toward a professional credential such as the CSP or CIH as you accumulate the required work hours and pass the qualifying examinations.
How do you get hired as a environmental health and safety with little experience?
Focus on entry-level EHS technician, safety coordinator, or environmental compliance assistant postings, which typically require less than two years of experience. Complete your OSHA 10 or 30-hour card before applying, since it signals baseline field readiness. Internships with manufacturers, construction companies, or environmental consulting firms are the most direct path to your first full-time role, and many convert to permanent offers.
What does the environmental health and safety interview process look like?
Most EHS interviews start with a phone screen focused on your regulatory knowledge and certifications. A technical round follows, where you'll be asked to walk through a real incident investigation, a hazard assessment you conducted, or how you built or updated a safety program. Some employers add a site walk or a written scenario exercise before a final interview with the operations or HR leadership team.
Where can I find and apply to environmental health and safety jobs?
You can find and apply to environmental health and safety jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search for roles by location, industry, or specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and career goals.
