Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Manager

SOLX HOLDINGS LLC • Aguadilla, PR, PR, PR

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Everyone goes home safe, and the site stays clean. As Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Manager, you own EHS on Solx's construction site — building and running the safety, occupational-health, and field environmental-compliance program for our manufacturing expansion, from site prep through commissioning. On an active, multi-trade jobsite, you set the standard, hold every contractor and worker to it, and have the authority to stop work when it isn't met.

This is a hands-on, on-site role for an EHS professional who has led safety and environmental compliance on large, complex construction projects and knows how to build a real safety culture — not just paperwork. You will oversee contractor EHS across every trade, drive hazard and exposure prevention in the field, lead incident prevention and response, and keep construction activities compliant with environmental requirements in partnership with the Environmental & Permitting Manager. You will report directly to the Project Manager.

Requirements

• 10+ years in construction EHS — safety and environmental compliance — including the lead EHS/safety role on large, complex construction projects.
• Deep working knowledge of OSHA construction standards (29 CFR 1926) and applicable federal and local EHS regulations.
• Experience overseeing contractor and subcontractor EHS on projects of $50M+.
• Hands-on experience managing high-risk construction activities and their controls, plus occupational-health and field environmental-compliance requirements.
• Strong incident investigation and root-cause analysis skills, with disciplined recordkeeping and reporting.
• OSHA 500/510 (construction outreach) and/or CHST, CSP, or comparable certification.
• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience with relevant certifications.
• Strong field presence and the credibility to hold contractors to standard and stop work when needed.
• Willingness to be based on-site in Puerto Rico for the duration of construction.

Nice To Haves

• Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly preferred for clear communication with the site workforce.
• Experience on industrial, advanced-manufacturing, cleanroom, or fab construction projects.
• Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or occupational-health experience, and familiarity with process-safety and hazardous-materials considerations as construction transitions to commissioning.
• Experience delivering projects in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, or other tropical, hurricane-exposed environments.
• First aid / CPR instructor certification.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and own the site-specific EHS program — safety, occupational health, and field environmental compliance — including policies and procedures.
• Enforce OSHA construction standards and applicable Puerto Rico and federal EHS regulations across the site.
• Oversee contractor and subcontractor EHS performance; review contractor safety plans, job hazard analyses (JHA/JSA), and qualifications.
• Conduct daily site inspections, audits, and toolbox talks; identify and correct hazards before they cause harm.
• Own controls for high-risk activities — excavation and trenching, fall protection, cranes/rigging/critical lifts, electrical and lockout/tagout, confined space, hot work, and scaffolding.
• Own occupational health and industrial hygiene on site — exposure monitoring, hazard communication, heat-illness prevention, noise and respiratory protection, and ergonomics.
• Ensure construction activities meet environmental requirements in the field — erosion and sediment control, spill prevention and response, waste handling, and dust and noise control — in coordination with the Environmental & Permitting Manager.
• Hold stop-work authority and escalate serious risks to the Project Manager without hesitation.
• Lead incident prevention, investigation, and root-cause analysis; drive corrective actions and manage OSHA recordkeeping and reporting.
• Deliver EHS orientation and training for workers and visitors; manage site access, PPE standards, and signage.
• Own emergency response planning, drills, first-aid/medical coverage, and coordination with local responders.
• Track leading and lagging EHS metrics, report performance to the Project Manager, and build a strong, visible safety culture across all trades.
