As K9 & Kin continues to grow and build one of North America's most advanced pet food manufacturing facilities, we are seeking a strategic and results-driven Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Manager to lead all environmental, health, and safety programs at our state-of-the-art facility. 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. This role is responsible for fostering an environment where safety is a core value, environmental stewardship is expected, and every employee is empowered to identify and eliminate hazards before incidents occur.
Primary Responsibilities:
- EHS Leadership: Develop and implement the facility's Environmental, Health & Safety strategy; lead the site's safety culture through visible leadership, coaching, and employee engagement; and establish annual EHS goals and key performance indicators aligned with company objectives.

- Environmental Compliance: Manage all environmental compliance programs, including air emissions, stormwater, wastewater, waste management, and spill prevention. Ensure compliance with applicable environmental permits and reporting requirements, and coordinate environmental monitoring, inspections, and recordkeeping.
- Risk Management & Incident Investigation: Lead investigations of workplace injuries, near misses, environmental incidents, and property damage events. 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.
Who You Are:
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.
- Analytical: You have strong analytical and root cause investigation skills and the ability to analyze leading and lagging safety indicators to develop proactive risk reduction strategies.

- Bachelor's degree in occupational health, environmental science, or a related field
- OSHA 30-hour certification or documented compliance with OSHA 29 CFR standards

Tips for Your Environmental Health And Safety Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to regulatory frameworks
List the specific regulations you've worked under, such as OSHA 29 CFR 1910, 1926, or EPA standards. Hiring managers scan for these codes directly, and a generic safety resume without them won't make the cut in regulated industries.
Highlight certifications above your degree
Credentials like CSP, CIH, or CHMM often carry more weight than your degree field in shortlisting. Place them prominently in your header or a dedicated certifications section so they're visible before a recruiter reads a single bullet point.
Target openings by industry risk profile
Your experience in high-hazard environments like oil and gas, chemical plants, or heavy construction doesn't transfer smoothly to low-hazard sectors. Filter openings by industry first so your background aligns with what the posting actually demands.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists environmental health and safety manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare incident rate data for interviews
Interviewers in this field consistently ask about your TRIR and DART improvements. Come ready with concrete before-and-after comparisons from programs you led, even if you have to frame results around the scope of your direct contributions.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate title
Clarify whether the role covers multi-site responsibility, direct reports, or capital budget authority before discussing compensation. EHS manager roles vary enormously in actual scope, and understanding that early prevents mismatched expectations on both sides.
Environmental Health And Safety Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most environmental health and safety managers?
The companies hiring the most environmental health and safety managers 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. Demand is especially strong in manufacturing, logistics, and energy sectors where regulatory exposure is highest.
How many environmental health and safety manager jobs are remote?
About 23% of environmental health and safety manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully remote roles are uncommon given the on-site nature of most EHS work. Sub-areas like EHS program development, compliance auditing, and management system consulting tend to offer the most remote flexibility.
How do you become an environmental health and safety manager?
You typically start by earning a bachelor's degree in occupational health, environmental science, safety management, or a closely related field. From there, you build experience in EHS coordinator or specialist roles, learning OSHA compliance and incident investigation firsthand. Earning a professional credential like the CSP or CIH significantly strengthens your candidacy for manager-level positions and accelerates advancement into roles with broader program ownership.
Can you get hired as an environmental health and safety manager without direct EHS management experience?
Yes, but you need to demonstrate adjacent leadership and compliance depth. Candidates who have led safety programs, managed contractor safety, or held EHS coordinator roles with measurable outcomes are competitive even without a manager title. Earning your CSP, documenting TRIR improvements you contributed to, and targeting smaller organizations or single-site roles are the most practical ways to make that transition without a formal management background.
What does the environmental health and safety manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with an HR screen focused on your credentials and compliance background, followed by a technical interview with an EHS director or operations leader who will ask about specific regulatory frameworks, incident investigations you've led, and safety program results you've delivered. A final round often involves a panel that includes HR, operations, and sometimes legal or risk management, and you may be asked to present a safety program improvement plan or walk through a past incident case study.
Where can I find and apply to environmental health and safety manager jobs?
You can find and apply to environmental health and safety manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing from the same place, without needing to jump between multiple sites to track down postings.
