EHS Manager Be part of building something extraordinary
HSP US: Building the Future of Energy
At HSP US, we’re looking for motivated, goal-oriented EHS professionals who want to grow their careers while contributing to high-impact work in the energy sector. If you’re energized by proactive risk management, cross-functional collaboration, and building practical safety and environmental programs, this role is for you. As a fast-growing operation, we are building state-of-the-art production capabilities, cutting-edge processes, and a high-performance culture centered around quality, safety, and innovation. Joining our team means being part of a once-in-a-generation start-up environment where you help lay the foundation for a world-class safety culture for years to come.
The team you will Join!
As the EHS Manager, you play a key role in protecting our people, our facility, and our community. Every safe and compliant operation begins with a strong understanding of regulatory requirements and operational risks, and that’s where you come in. You’ll develop and implement EHS policies, conduct risk assessments and audits, and lead training and incident prevention programs that form the foundation of our safety-first culture. Working closely with production, engineering, maintenance, and leadership teams, you’ll help ensure our operations meet OSHA and environmental regulations and set the standard in the industry. If you enjoy identifying hazards, analyzing root causes, and building programs that people genuinely embrace, you’ll thrive in this role.
What We Are Looking For!
- Lead comprehensive OSHA compliance audits across all production areas (casting, impregnation, autoclaves, machining, winding, high-voltage testing).
- Experience building out EHS & Safety Manuals.
- Build and maintain OSHA-required programs tailored to high-voltage manufacturing, including: LOTO, Confined Space, Hazard Communication, Machine Guarding, Electrical Safety & Arc Flash, Respiratory Protection, and Hot Work & Permit-to-Work Systems.
- Prepare the facility for regulatory inspections and serve as the primary point of contact for OSHA and state agencies.
- Develop and maintain all OSHA logs, incident records, and compliance documentation.
- Conduct detailed risk assessments for high-hazard processes such as resin handling, vacuum impregnation, autoclave curing, overhead crane operations, and high-voltage testing.
- Perform Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs), and equipment-specific risk evaluations.
- Build and implement a complete EHS management system for a new U.S. manufacturing operation.
- Develop emergency response plans, evacuation routes, and crisis-management procedures for a facility undergoing active construction and commissioning.
- Establish contractor safety protocols for construction crews, equipment installers, and commissioning teams.
- Create training programs for new U.S. employees, including onboarding, job-specific safety, and annual refresher training.
- Ensure compliance with environmental regulations related to: Hazardous waste, Chemical storage (resins, solvents, curing agents), Air emissions, Stormwater and wastewater, Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC).
- Maintain environmental permits and documentation required for startup and ongoing operations.
- Conduct environmental audits and implement corrective actions.
- Establish leading and lagging safety metrics for a new U.S. operation.
- Build a proactive safety culture that aligns with OSHA Standards.
- Identify gaps in processes, training, or equipment and implement sustainable improvements.
- Support leadership in building a safety-first mindset across all departments.
What You Will Bring!
- 7–10+ years of EHS experience in manufacturing, heavy industry, or electrical/high-voltage environments.
- Expert knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 (especially Subparts S, O, R, and Z).
- Proven experience leading OSHA audits and managing regulatory interactions.
- Strong background in risk assessment methodologies (JHA, PHA, FMEA, Bowtie).
- Demonstrated ability to build EHS programs from the ground up.
- Experience with incident investigations and root-cause analysis.
- Strong communication and leadership skills; able to influence across all levels.
- Proficiency with EHS management systems and digital reporting tools.
