    Environmental, Health & Safety Manager
    Greater Philadelphia Area | Chemical Manufacturing

     

    We are partnering with a global industrial manufacturing organization to identify an Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Manager for a high-impact chemical manufacturing site in the Philadelphia area.

    This is a visible site role responsible for driving safety culture, regulatory compliance, and environmental performance in a complex operation handling chemical products and raw materials.

    The ideal candidate will have strong OSHA-based safety leadership experience in a manufacturing setting and a proven ability to influence plant leadership and frontline teams. Exposure to PSM and environmental compliance programs is a plus, but not a requirement.

     

    Why This Role?

    • Lead EH&S strategy for a chemical manufacturing site
    • High visibility with senior leadership
    • Serve as primary liaison with regulatory agencies
    • Drive a proactive, prevention-based safety culture
    • Opportunity to elevate and modernize EH&S programs

     

    What You’ll Own

    • OSHA compliance, including Process Safety Management (PSM)
    • Environmental programs (air, water, wastewater, stormwater, SPCC, hazardous waste)
    • Emergency preparedness & response planning
    • Incident investigations and root cause analysis
    • Regulatory reporting and agency interface
    • Safety culture engagement and workforce coaching
    • Audit readiness and corrective action management

     

    What We’re Looking For

    • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Chemistry, or related field
    • 3+ years of EH&S leadership experience in chemical or industrial manufacturing
    • Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations; exposure to PSM and environmental programs is a plus
    • Proven ability to influence plant leadership and frontline teams
    • Collaborative mindset with the ability to partner cross-functionally across Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and Corporate functions
    • Comfortable working in a matrixed environment and building strong relationships with external regulatory agencies
    • Strong communication and documentation skills
    • Ability to operate independently while driving accountability across the site
