This role is ideal for experienced professionals ready to expand their impact, grow into senior consulting pathways, and work alongside industry-leading experts on high‑visibility projects worldwide.

Why This Role Matters

Safety is more than a program—it’s a critical driver of operational excellence and organizational resilience. As a Consultant, Health and Safety, you’ll help clients proactively address their most significant EHS risks, enhance safety culture, and achieve regulatory compliance with confidence. You’ll support global clients through complex technical challenges while gaining exposure to mentorship, cross-functional projects, and long-term career growth within ERM’s rapidly expanding Safety Services team. This is a key stepping stone toward senior consultant and leadership roles across our global practice.

  • BS/MS degree in a related field or equivalent experience (6+ years in lieu of education). 
  • 2–3 years of relevant experience in safety, risk management, and EHS compliance. Additional experience with environmental compliance is a plus but not required.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively. 
  • Willingness to travel (up to 80% during peak project periods) domestically and internationally.  
  • This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

Preferred

  • Certifications such as CSP or CIH (or aspirations to obtain certification) are a plus, and ERM supports professional development to help you achieve them. 
  • Consulting experience with proven ability to develop client relationships and deliver high-impact solutions. 
  • Expertise in delivering corporate H&S strategies, including safety culture, leadership, and serious injury/fatality risk reduction.
