Regional Safety Manager – Manufacturing & Distribution

Salary: 120-130K | Location: Queens, NY

Let’s be real – safety jobs often come with a ton of paperwork, pointless meetings, and fighting uphill battles to get people to care. This one? It’s different.

This company is in solid shape. Strong operations teams. Decent foundations. But safety? It’s been underserved for years. They need someone who doesn’t just tick compliance boxes but actually builds something worthwhile.

The Gig

You’ll be the Regional Safety Manager across five sites – one production site (where most of the action is) and four low-risk distribution centers. The job?

• Build, implement, and maintain safety programs – think from the ground up.
• Own lockout/tagout, emergency response, wastewater management, and waste management.
• Get buy-in from frontline staff to senior leadership – safety needs to be something people want to follow, not something forced on them.
• Be on-call 24/7 for emergencies – because safety doesn’t clock out.
• Train people, talk to people, and influence change without sounding like a safety manual.
• Work with the EHS Director to ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, and other fun acronyms.

Who You Need to Be

This isn’t for someone who just wants to enforce rules from a distance. You need to be hands-on, proactive, and genuinely good with people.

• Experience in EHS - perhaps you're currently a specialist or a manager looking for further responsibility?
• Someone who sees EHS as a support function – not a policing role.
• Comfortable speaking to groups, influencing people at all levels, and making safety part of the culture.
• Believe in engagement over compliance
• Happy with travel (up to 50%) and getting stuck in at multiple sites.

The Perks

• Competitive salary – flex up to £130K for the right person.
• A genuine opportunity to build something rather than babysit outdated systems.
• Work for a company that wants safety done properly, not just for show.

If you’ve been stuck in a role where safety is treated as an afterthought, this is your chance to change that. Ready to step up? Apply now.
