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:

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.

Tips for Your Environmental Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to regulations
List the specific environmental regulations you've worked under, such as RCRA, CERCLA, Clean Air Act, or NPDES. Hiring managers scan for regulatory fluency fast, and a generic resume that omits these signals will get filtered out before anyone reads further.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists environmental 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 your permit portfolio
Quantify the permits you've managed, renewed, or obtained. Stating the type, agency, and outcome tells employers you can own the process end to end, which is what separates candidates who've managed compliance from those who've only supported it.
Target openings by industry sector carefully
Environmental manager roles in oil and gas demand different expertise than those in municipal government or consumer goods. Filter your search by industry before applying and adjust your cover letter to reflect sector-specific regulations and reporting requirements you've handled directly.
Prepare a scenario answer for audit situations
Interviewers almost always ask how you handled a regulatory inspection or agency audit. Prepare a specific example that covers what you found, how you communicated it internally, and what corrective actions you led. Vague answers here cost candidates offers.
Negotiate scope before salary discussions
In environmental manager roles, your authority over budgets, contractors, and corrective action plans varies enormously by employer. Clarify reporting structure and decision-making authority before final offer discussions so you can evaluate the role on its actual scope, not just the title.
Environmental Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most environmental managers?
The companies hiring the most environmental managers right now include Healthcare Services, Ryder System, and Crothall Healthcare, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Ohio, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is concentrated in manufacturing, energy, and engineering consulting sectors.
How many environmental manager jobs are remote?
About 53% of environmental manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the field-intensive nature of most roles. Sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include environmental policy analysis, sustainability reporting, and corporate EHS program management, where site visits are less frequent.
How do you become an environmental manager?
Start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, engineering, or a related discipline, then build hands-on experience in compliance, permitting, or remediation roles. Earning a certification such as the Certified Environmental Professional or Registered Environmental Manager credential strengthens your candidacy. Most employers expect several years of progressively responsible environmental work before promoting into or hiring for a manager title.
Can you get an environmental manager job with little experience?
Entry into environmental manager roles with limited experience is possible by targeting smaller organizations, municipalities, or consulting firms where generalist coverage is valued over deep specialization. Emphasize any regulatory fieldwork, permit assistance, or environmental reporting you've supported, and pursue a relevant certification early to offset a shorter work history. Some employers also promote from environmental coordinator or specialist roles internally.
What does the environmental manager interview process look like?
Most employers run an initial screening call focused on regulatory background and specific permits you've managed, followed by one or two rounds with the hiring manager and often a cross-functional panel including legal, operations, or safety. Expect scenario-based questions about agency audits, incident response, and how you've managed conflicting compliance priorities. Some roles include a written exercise or a facility walkthrough as part of final interviews.
