Environmental Health & Safety Manager | Nox Metals | Ferndale, MI Nox Metals is a technology company in Detroit supplying metal.

- Design and implement the EHS program from the ground up, with support from People Operations as needed

- Run hazard assessments and incident investigations to closure
- Own OSHA/MIOSHA recordkeeping and permits, and keep the site audit-ready
- Manage PPE, machine guarding, lockout/tagout, and forklift and crane safety

You are:
- Educated, with a bachelor's degree in EHS, Occupational Health & Safety, Health and Human Services, or a related field
- Experienced, with 7+ years in EHS in a manufacturing or industrial setting
- A builder, you have designed and implemented EHS programs, not just maintained them
- Comfortable on the floor, you can talk to an operator and write it up in a way that holds up later

Nice to have:
- Metals or CNC manufacturing background
- Experience with ITAR-controlled material
- OSHA 30, CSP or equivalent certification
- Comfortable using AI tools to work faster and smarter
This role is full time, in person at our Ferndale location.
