Full Job Description
This is a full-time, dedicated health and safety role. You will not carry a utilization target. Your job is our people, not a billable goal. You'll work alongside our Health & Safety Lead, taking ownership of major pieces of our internal program from day one, with a clear path to leading the program as you grow into it.

What You'll Own
  • H&H's corporate health & safety program: policies, SOPs, medical surveillance, respiratory protection, PPE, fleet and field safety, and regulatory compliance (OSHA 1910.120 and 1926)
  • Site-specific Health & Safety Plans (HASPs) and Job Safety Analyses
  • Firm-wide safety training, including HAZWOPER refresher coordination, new-hire field safety onboarding, and competent-person programs
  • Field safety audits across active project sites in the Carolinas
  • Incident and near-miss investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action, and OSHA recordkeeping
  • Subcontractor safety prequalification and oversight (drilling, remediation, and construction subs)
  • Supporting project teams as an in-house technical resource on health and safety questions - the person they call from the field

Required
  • A minimum of 5 years of health & safety experience, with meaningful time supporting environmental consulting or related industry
  • Deep working knowledge of HAZWOPER (29 CFR 1910.120) and construction safety (29 CFR 1926)
  • Experience writing and reviewing site-specific HASPs and leading incident investigations
  • Strong training and communication skills - you can hold a room of scientists and engineers' attention
  • Degree in Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field

Nice to Have
  • Prior experience in environmental consulting
  • HAZWOPER trainer qualification
  • Experience with industrial hygiene fieldwork: air monitoring, noise, IAQ/mold, asbestos, or exposure assessment
  • CSP, CIH, CHST, ASP, or OHST certification - or interest in pursuing one with our support

Why This Role Is Different

You'll be joining a firm whose work you already understand, in a role with direct access to leadership and a genuine mandate to improve how we operate. You'll start with real ownership, and this is a deliberate succession path - as you grow into the role, so does the scope. For the right person, this is a path to leading our health and safety practice at a firm that promotes from within.

Why H&H

We foster a positive work culture built on career and personal development, collaboration and training, quality-driven work, and frequent employee recognition. Our people work on challenging projects alongside experienced project managers and senior leaders, and we invest deliberately in developing well-rounded consultants who become trusted advisers to clients and future leaders of the firm.
