EHS Manager

Position: Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Manager
Location: Sheboygan, WI (Onsite)
Relocation: Assistance available (sign-on bonus or relocation package with temporary housing)

Overview:
A global manufacturer is seeking a dynamic and experienced Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Manager to lead safety and environmental initiatives across two large production facilities in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for shaping a strong safety culture, driving compliance, and mentoring a skilled onsite HSE team.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on leadership in heavy manufacturing, strong technical expertise in environmental and safety compliance (including Title V), and a servant leadership approach that inspires accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:
• Lead, mentor, and develop a cross-functional HSE team, including an HSE Engineering Specialist, HSE Coordinator, Environmental Engineer, and Safety Supervisor.
• Provide strategic direction for all HSE programs across two Wisconsin plants to ensure regulatory compliance, operational excellence, and a proactive safety culture.
• Serve as the site’s subject matter expert for OSHA, EPA, and other regulatory matters, including air, waste, and water compliance.
• Oversee all aspects of environmental permitting and reporting, including Title V air permit compliance.
• Partner closely with the Plant Manager and the U.S. Senior HSE Manager to align site goals with corporate initiatives.
• Review, update, and implement policies, procedures, and risk assessments to ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
• Manage ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001 programs and audits.
• Drive behavioral safety initiatives and ensure the successful implementation of global HSE programs.
• Develop, manage, and report on key safety metrics, objectives, and budget performance.
• Lead training initiatives to build team proficiency and awareness in safety and environmental standards.
• Coordinate incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Engage directly with leadership to drive continuous improvement and sustainability goals across all operations.

Requirements

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Safety, Environmental, Engineering, or a related technical field (required).
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive Health, Safety, and Environmental management experience in a heavy manufacturing environment.
• Proven leadership experience managing and developing professional HSE staff.
• Strong understanding of OSHA, EPA, and state-level regulatory requirements.
• Experience working in a Title V facility and with air, waste, and water compliance programs.
• Prior experience managing or maintaining ISO 14001, 45001, and/or 50001 systems.
• Demonstrated success in fostering a culture of servant leadership and continuous improvement.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence at all levels of an organization.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office Suite and safety management software.
• Certifications such as OSHA 10/30, OSHA 500, ASP, or CSP preferred.

Why This Role Stands Out:
• Lead the entire EHS function for two key production facilities.
• Oversee a talented, established HSE team with full leadership autonomy.
• Join a globally respected manufacturer investing heavily in safety, sustainability, and employee development.
• Competitive compensation, relocation assistance, and on-site leadership visibility.
