We are seeking a Director of EHST to lead a dedicated Safety Services Business Unit that delivers Environmental, Health, Safety, and Training (EHST) solutions directly into the industrial market — including downstream, petrochemical, oil & gas, and EPC sectors. This is a P&L leadership role, responsible for building, scaling, and commercializing EHST services as a revenue-generating business line, not just internal compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the EHST Services Division as a strategic business unit with full P&L ownership.
• Champion external delivery of safety services across client sites, projects, and facilities.
• Drive M&A opportunities to expand market share and service capabilities.
• Develop scalable frameworks for safety staffing, training, industrial hygiene, rescue, medical, and compliance services.
• Partner with executive leadership, sales, and operations to identify market opportunities and deliver tailored solutions.
• Build and mentor a high-performing EHST team; drive a culture of safety, accountability, and innovation.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of leadership experience in EH&S, industrial services, or related sectors.
• Proven success leading external safety service delivery (contract safety, training, rescue, or compliance).
• Strong business acumen; track record of P&L ownership and growth strategy execution.
• M&A experience (evaluation, integration, or scaling acquired service lines) strongly preferred.
• CSP and MBA highly desired.
• Exceptional leadership, client engagement, and communication skills.

Why This Role

• This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape a market-facing EHST business unit within a growing organization — driving strategy, growth, and innovation at the intersection of safety and business.
