Job description

Environmental Health & Safety Manager | Nox Metals | Ferndale, MI Nox Metals is a technology company in Detroit supplying metal. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible. Shift Hours: Monday - Friday, w/ability to work weekends as needed. You will:

  • Design and implement the EHS program from the ground up, with support from People Operations as needed
  • Train shift leads so the basics run without you, and lead new-hire and refresher training
  • 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
  • Work with ops and software on engineering controls when safety issues trace back to process or equipment

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
  • Firm, you hold the line with a shift lead who wants to skip a step

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.
