Building a Culture Where Safety Comes First.
As the EH&S Manager, you'll lead the strategy, programs, and culture that keep our employees safe across both manufacturing and field operations. This is a hands on leadership role where you'll work directly with employees, supervisors, managers, field teams, and subcontractors to turn safety expectations into everyday behaviors.
You'll oversee regulatory compliance, safety programs, training, workers' compensation, field safety, and performance metrics while identifying opportunities to continuously improve how we protect our people. You'll also spend time in the field, traveling to locations throughout North America to provide safety leadership, training, and support. If you're an experienced safety leader who believes the strongest safety cultures are built through visibility, relationships, accountability, and employee engagement, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the organization. What Success Looks Like
- Lead and strengthen a safety culture where employees and leaders take ownership of creating an incident free workplace
- Maintain strong compliance with OSHA, DOT/FMCSA, EPA, DNR, and other applicable safety and environmental requirements
- Develop safety programs, written plans, onboarding, and engaging training that address both regulatory requirements and real workplace risks
- Stay visible and connected across manufacturing and field operations, including regular travel to North American project locations to provide hands on safety support
- Use safety metrics, incident trends, near misses, and other data to identify risks and drive meaningful improvements
- Effectively manage workers' compensation claims while maintaining communication between employees, medical providers, insurance partners, management, and Risk Management
- Lead safety committees, employee engagement initiatives, and recognition programs that make safety an active part of the GFS culture
- Partner with leaders, subcontractors, vendors, and field teams to establish clear expectations and hold everyone accountable for safe performance
Qualifications That Shine
- Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety & Health or a related field with 10+ years of relevant safety experience in a similar environment
- Proven safety leadership experience with measurable results and the ability to influence employees and leaders at all levels of an organization
- Strong working knowledge of OSHA, DOT/FMCSA, EPA, and other applicable safety and environmental regulations
