Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Manager

Lindenwold, New Jersey

$90,000 - $120,000+ Performance-based Bonus+ Paid Relocation Assistance Available

About the Role: The EHS Leader

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Manager to lead our team in Lindenwold, NJ. This is a critical leadership role responsible for developing, overseeing, and maintaining all safety and environmental compliance programs, driving risk mitigation, and proactively shaping a high-performance EHS culture within our high-volume manufacturing environment.

You will serve as the site's primary subject matter expert, integrating EHS best practices into all operational processes. This role reports directly to the Plant Manager or a senior executive.

Key Responsibilities: What You'll Do

The EHS Manager's duties are comprehensive, covering environmental compliance, occupational health and safety, claims management, and cultural leadership.

1. Environmental Management and Compliance (NEW FOCUS)

  • Regulatory Reporting: Ensure full compliance with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations (e.g., EPA, NJDEP). This includes preparing, submitting, and maintaining required environmental reports (e.g., Tier II, Form R/TRI, air permits, storm water permits, wastewater discharge permits).

  • Waste Management: Manage all hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams (RCRA). Oversee waste minimization efforts, ensure proper storage, labeling, transportation, and disposal, and maintain all waste manifests and documentation.

  • Permitting & Audits: Conduct regular environmental inspections and audits to identify potential non-compliance risks. Manage and update necessary operating permits (Air, Water, Waste) and act as the primary liaison during regulatory agency inspections.

  • Sustainability: Champion site initiatives aimed at resource conservation (water, energy), pollution prevention, and improving the facility's overall environmental footprint.

2. Occupational Health and Safety

  • Program Oversight: Manage, develop, and continuously review all regulatory programs (OSHA, ANSI, NFPA) and plant-specific policies (e.g., LOTO, Confined Space, Hot Work, Machine Guarding).

  • Hazard Control: Lead hazard identification, conduct rigorous plant safety audits, develop comprehensive corrective action plans, and track solutions to timely completion.

  • MOC Review: Perform thorough, proactive EHS reviews for all Management of Change (MOC) requests to ensure new processes or equipment are integrated safely and risks are mitigated.

  • Emergency Response: Act as a Medical First Responder, providing initial first aid and emergency care. Manage and coordinate the overall emergency response plan, including fire and severe weather preparedness.

3. Claims Management and Training

  • Workers' Compensation: Oversee all aspects of the Workers' Compensation program, including managing claims, coordinating employee return-to-work, facilitating doctor visits, and providing financial forecasting to control claims costs.

  • Incident Investigation: Lead comprehensive incident and near-miss investigations utilizing robust methodologies (e.g., Root Cause Analysis, 5 Whys) to determine true causes and implement permanent corrective actions.

  • Training & Culture: Design, assign, track, and deliver engaging EHS training programs for all employees. Partner with the plant leadership team to foster a proactive, interdependent safety culture and lead the Joint Health and Safety Committee.

4. Administration and Reporting

  • Documentation & Reporting: Prepare and present comprehensive weekly and monthly reports on all EHS metrics, incident trends, compliance status, and key performance indicators (KPIs) for executive review.

  • Financial Stewardship: Manage the EHS budget, including efficient procurement and inventory management of PPE, safety supplies, and first aid materials.

Required Qualifications: What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Engineering, or a closely related field.

  • Minimum of 5 years of dedicated EHS management and leadership experience within a heavy manufacturing, industrial, or production environment.

  • In-depth, practical knowledge and understanding of OSHA regulations, ANSI standards, NFPA standards, and state/federal EPA and Workers' Compensation laws.

  • Proven expertise in hazard recognition, root cause analysis, risk assessment, and implementing effective control measures (hierarchy of controls).

  • Current certification or demonstrated knowledge and experience in First Aid, AED, and CPR.

  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence, coach, and engage employees at all levels.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional certification such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Associate Safety Professional (ASP), or Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) is highly desired.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

  • Work Setting: This role operates in a typical office setting; however, regular, extensive presence on the manufacturing floor is required (up to 70% of the time).

  • Environmental Exposure: Must be comfortable being exposed to environmental conditions such as cold, heat, high noise levels, moving mechanical parts, work at heights, and potential exposure to chemicals and fumes.

  • Physical Demands: Requires extensive walking or climbing and the ability to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on occasion.

  • Travel: Minimal travel is required (0 10 days per year).
