Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager – Lead, Influence, and Drive Change!

Are you passionate about workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and building a strong safety culture? Ox Specialty Paper, LLC is looking for a hands-on, proactive Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Manager to take charge of compliance, risk management, and cultural leadership at our Carthage, NY mill.

This is a role for a leader who doesn’t just oversee safety but actively integrates it into daily operations and maintenance activities. You’ll be a visible presence—engaging with employees on the floor, leading safety initiatives, ensuring environmental compliance, and fostering a culture where safety is second nature.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Lead by Example: Conduct daily operational rounds, engage directly with production and maintenance teams, and ensure that safety is always a top priority.

Own Compliance & Reporting: Manage all environmental and safety compliance programs, including air permits, hazardous waste, water withdrawal, and required regulatory filings.

Investigate & Improve: Lead root cause investigations for all safety incidents, track corrective actions, and drive continuous safety improvements using the OxSafe program.

Develop & Train: Oversee new hire safety onboarding, ensure all employees are up to date on required training, and maintain a structured safety training calendar.

Drive Safety Culture: Co-chair the Safety Committee, set meeting agendas, direct audits, and promote a proactive, solution-focused environment.

Stay Proactive: Serve as the EHS manager on-call, participate in weekend mill coverage, and ensure Ox’s Safety & Environmental culture is upheld at all times.

This isn’t a desk job—you’ll be out in the field, problem-solving, coaching, and making an impact where it matters most.

What We’re Looking For:

A decisive, hands-on leader with strong EHS expertise.

A proactive problem-solver who can adapt to shifting priorities.

A team player who can engage employees at all levels and build a strong safety culture.

A compliance expert with experience in environmental regulations, workplace safety, and risk management.

At Ox Specialty Paper, we don’t just meet standards—we set them. We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to fostering a workplace where safety, compliance, and teamwork drive success.

If you’re ready to lead, influence, and drive change, apply today!
