Environmental Health Safety Manager

Aegis Worldwide

We’re seeking a hands-on Safety Manager who thrives on the plant floor and is passionate about building a strong, proactive safety culture. This is not a desk job. You’ll be actively walking the facility, identifying risks, improving procedures, and training employees to exceed OSHA standards every day.

If you come from a manufacturing environment, love solving problems in real time, and lead by example, this is a chance to make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Be highly visible on the plant floor driving safety improvements
  • Review, rewrite, and implement safety policies and procedures
  • Conduct safety audits, equipment inspections, and hazard assessments
  • Lead accident, injury, and near-miss investigations
  • Deliver hands-on safety training and lead regular safety meetings
  • Manage and lead the company Safety Committee
  • Ensure ongoing compliance with OSHA (and related standards)
  • Maintain accurate safety records, reports, and metrics
  • Partner with leadership and external agencies to resolve safety concerns

What We’re Looking For

  • 3–5+ years of safety management experience in manufacturing/industrial settings
  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations (EPA & ANSI a plus)
  • Proven experience developing and implementing safety programs
  • Comfortable being on the floor and engaging directly with employees
  • Strong communicator and natural leader
  • Organized, accountable, and solution-oriented

Nice to Have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health & Safety or related field
  • Safety certifications or Health & Safety Officer registration
  • Experience with ISO 45001, OSHA VPP, or similar systems
  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and Microsoft Office
  • Experience leading a safety committee

Why Join?

  • Make a visible, meaningful impact on workplace safety
  • Work in a hands-on leadership role, not behind a desk
  • Competitive pay and stable day-shift schedule
  • Opportunity to build and shape safety culture long-term
