Create a safer, stronger, people‑first culture at a site ready for its next step forward. At Saint‑Gobain, safety isn’t just a requirement, it’s a shared value and a daily commitment. Our Akron facility is looking for a hands‑on, people‑centered EHS leader who thrives on the plant floor, connects naturally with employees at all levels, and knows how to translate standards into behaviors that stick.
This is an exciting and pivotal moment for Akron. You will love this role if you are:
- Someone who believes that culture drives safety and not the other way around.
- A coach and influencer who earns trust through presence, listening, and partnership.
- A strategic thinker who can balance immediate needs with long‑term vision.

Along with being a visible, people‑focused safety leader, the EHS Manager will play a critical role in shaping the long‑term direction of the Akron site:
- Align EHS priorities with site leadership goals, ensuring safety and sustainability are embedded in operations, process improvements, and decision‑making.
- Integrate leading indicators and risk‑based insights into strategic discussions, helping guide capital planning, equipment upgrades, and long‑term investments.
- Influence process improvements and equipment design, ensuring that safe operations are built into systems— not added after the fact.
- Champion Akron’s risk‑reduction roadmap, balancing quick wins with long‑term systemic improvements.
- Serve as a strategic partner on the Leadership Team, playing a key role in shaping culture, supporting organizational change, and driving performance across departments.
This role blends cultural leadership with strategic impact, giving the right person the opportunity to create immediate improvements while shaping the Akron facility for years to come.
- Lead and elevate our EHS culture, empowering employees and supervisors to take ownership of safe behaviors and daily decisions.
- Engage the workforce through coaching, mentoring, and meaningful presence on the production floor, building strong relationships in a union environment.
- Drive risk identification and reduction efforts, using visual tools, collaborative walk‑throughs, and problem‑solving to eliminate hazards.
- Guide the site’s compliance programs (OSHA, EPA, ISO 14001), ensuring requirements are met while making processes clear and accessible to all employees.
- Lead incident investigations and root‑cause analysis with a focus on learning, transparency, and preventing repeat events.
- Develop and deliver dynamic EHS training, using demonstrations, storytelling, and hands‑on coaching to reinforce behaviors.
- Partner closely with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, HR, and Corporate EHS to support continuous improvement aligned with World Class Manufacturing (WCM) principles.
- Build positive and collaborative relationships with outside stakeholders, including OSHA, EPA, first responders, and contractors.
IS THIS JOB FOR YOU?
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Environmental/Safety Sciences, or related field.
- 6–8 years of EHS experience in a manufacturing environment with proven success reducing injuries and strengthening culture.
- Strong knowledge of OSHA/EPA regulations and ISO‑based systems; CSP preferred.
- Experience working with or supporting a union workforce is highly beneficial.
- A people‑first leadership style — visible, relatable, and collaborative.
- Ability to simplify technical requirements and communicate in a way that resonates with hourly teams.
- Comfort using digital tools, dashboards, and EHS platforms to drive insights and decisions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Environmental Health And Safety Manager
Translate your EHS credentials for PERM
PERM requires your qualifications to match the job description precisely. Compile documentation showing your degree field, professional certifications like CSP or CIH, and any state-specific licensure that aligns directly with the duties listed in the labor certification.
Target industries with chronic EHS hiring gaps
Manufacturing, chemical processing, and large-scale construction employers file PERM most frequently for EHS Managers because domestic recruitment consistently falls short. Prioritize companies in these sectors when evaluating which employers are structurally motivated to sponsor.
Search green card sponsorship history on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Environmental Health And Safety Manager roles by employers with active green card sponsorship history, so you focus your applications on companies that have already committed to the PERM process for this occupation.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
DOL sets the wage your employer must pay throughout the PERM process. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your specific job title, state, and experience level before accepting an offer so you know whether the salary meets the required wage tier.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 eligibility with your employer
If your role requires a master's degree or you have at least ten years of progressive EHS experience, ask your employer whether the job description supports EB-2 rather than EB-3 filing, since EB-2 priority dates move faster for many nationalities.
Plan around PERM's recruitment documentation window
PERM requires your employer to complete a defined recruitment period before filing with DOL. Confirm that your employer understands the supervised recruitment requirements and timeline so there are no delays between your job offer and the formal labor certification filing.

Find Environmental Health And Safety Manager JobsEnvironmental Health And Safety Manager Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Environmental Health And Safety Manager roles typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most EHS Manager positions qualify for EB-3 as skilled professional roles requiring a bachelor's degree. If the job description genuinely requires a master's degree or its equivalent in specialized experience, EB-2 may apply. Your employer's attorney determines the appropriate category based on the actual minimum requirements for the role, not your personal qualifications.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for an EHS Manager?
H-1B is a temporary nonimmigrant status capped at 85,000 per year and subject to an annual lottery. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no annual lottery, though processing takes longer, often two to four years or more depending on your nationality and USCIS backlogs. The PERM route is permanent by design.
Which industries sponsor green cards most frequently for EHS Managers?
Manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical companies, large construction contractors, utilities, and aerospace firms file PERM for EHS Managers most consistently. These industries face stringent OSHA compliance requirements and often struggle to fill senior EHS roles domestically, which creates the documented recruitment need that PERM labor certification requires.
How can I find employers actively sponsoring green cards for EHS roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search Environmental Health And Safety Manager positions filtered by employers with green card sponsorship history. This is more reliable than applying broadly, since not every employer that posts an EHS Manager opening is prepared to file PERM, and identifying committed sponsors saves significant time in your job search.
Can my professional certifications like CSP or CIH strengthen my PERM case?
Yes, certifications such as Certified Safety Professional or Certified Industrial Hygienist can support your case when the job description lists them as requirements or preferred qualifications. If the labor certification specifies these credentials, USCIS and DOL expect your qualifications to match. Certifications listed only as preferred carry less weight than those framed as minimum requirements.
