EH&S Manager

Build a Safety Program. Protect Our People. Support Our Growth.

At Advantic Building Group, we design, fabricate, and install innovative Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structural systems that help our customers build smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

But what truly sets Advantic apart isn’t just what we build — it’s  how  we work and  who  we work with.

We're a team that values ownership, camaraderie, and curiosity.  We roll up our sleeves, tackle challenges together, and support one another along the way. At Advantic, culture isn't a poster on the wall. It's reflected in how we communicate, solve problems, and show up for our teammates every day. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an EH&S leader who shares those values and can help strengthen the culture we've built while keeping safety at the center of how we operate.

We're seeking an experienced EH&S Manager to lead, build, and continuously improve our company-wide safety program across our two manufacturing facilities and customer project sites where Advantic employees and subcontractor partners install structural systems.

This is a working leadership role. We're looking for someone who can build relationships, influence culture, and create practical safety solutions that support our people and our business.

You'll have the opportunity to develop strategy, implement programs, coach leaders, engage employees, and build the foundation for a scalable EH&S function as the company continues to grow.

- Establish safety goals, metrics, and reporting that drive accountability and continuous improvement.

- Advise leadership on compliance, risk management, and safety strategy.

- Design the future EH&S organization and support the selection, onboarding, and development of additional EH&S personnel as the company grows.

Support Manufacturing and Field Operations

- Travel 25% of the time to customer project sites to assess conditions, verify compliance, coach field teams, and support project leadership.

- Maintain compliance with applicable federal, state, and local environmental, occupational health, and safety requirements, including OSHA and relevant EPA/state environmental regulations.

- Review site-specific safety plans, job hazard analyses, and project documentation.

Build a Strong Safety Culture

- Coach employees and leaders through a visible, approachable, and solutions-oriented leadership style.

- Foster an environment where employees feel comfortable reporting concerns, near misses, and improvement opportunities.

- Develop, coordinate, deliver, and track required EH&S training programs, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), hazard communication, PPE, machine safety, and other OSHA-required training; maintain accurate training records and ensure employees remain current on all required certifications and refreshers.

Incident Management and Continual Improvement

- Lead or facilitate investigations of injuries, illnesses, environmental events, near misses, property damage, and high-potential exposures using sound root-cause methods.

- Coordinate reporting and case management with leadership, HR, medical providers, insurance partners, customers, and regulatory agencies, as appropriate.

- Own corrective and preventive action tracking, verify effectiveness, identify trends, and share lessons learned across facilities and projects.

- Support emergency preparedness through plans, drills, response coordination, and post-event reviews.
