Position Overview

We are seeking an entry-level EHS Engineer to support Environmental, Health & Safety programs within a manufacturing environment.

The EHS Engineer will work closely with manufacturing, engineering, and operations teams to identify potential hazards, support compliance requirements, and help develop a safe and productive workplace. This is a learning-focused role with exposure to a wide range of EHS responsibilities rather than a highly specialized position.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct workplace inspections, safety observations, and hazard assessments to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Assist with incident investigations, root cause analysis, and development of corrective and preventive actions.
• Support OSHA and other applicable regulatory compliance activities.
• Maintain and update EHS documentation, records, procedures, and training materials.
• Assist with OSHA recordkeeping, including OSHA 300/300A/301 documentation.
• Support employee safety training and communication on EHS policies, procedures, and safe work practices.
• Partner with manufacturing and engineering teams to identify and mitigate workplace hazards.
• Assist with emergency preparedness, safety drills, and related programs.
• Support environmental programs and compliance activities as needed.
• Participate in safety projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Help promote a strong safety culture throughout the organization.
• Perform other EHS-related duties and projects as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health & Safety, Occupational Safety, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 1–3 years of experience in EHS, safety, environmental compliance, or a manufacturing environment.
• Strong interest in building a career in Environmental, Health & Safety.
• Hands-on, practical approach to identifying and addressing workplace hazards.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with employees at all levels.
• Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to maintain accurate documentation and records.
• Ability to work independently while also collaborating closely with manufacturing and engineering teams.
• Familiarity with OSHA regulations and general manufacturing safety practices is preferred.
• Experience with OSHA 300-series recordkeeping is a plus.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to develop broad EHS experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Hands-on exposure to safety, environmental, compliance, training, and continuous improvement activities.
• Collaborative environment with opportunities to learn from experienced EHS and manufacturing professionals.
• Competitive compensation of $80,000–$85,000 plus a 5% annual bonus.
