Environmental Health & Safety Manager

Who you are

You are a seasoned professional in at least one of the elements of Environmental, Health, or Safety and have a passion to be an expert in all three. You are someone who isn’t afraid of getting your hands dirty, be it by literally working side by side with the people that make Antora the amazing company it is…, or by putting in the time to build the systems and processes that underlie the best EH&S culture you can imagine. You are not afraid of doing what needs to be done: Antora is a new company who is going to change the world and it matters how we do it. 

This role is a unique opportunity for someone wanting to be involved in developing an EH&S culture from the ground up. The role will be an essential partner to Antora’s Head of EH&S to create and build upon all aspects of environmental, health and safety programs.  

This role is not destined to address just one or two of these topics; the ideal candidate wants to potentially learn about all of these, support several more, and definitely master as many as possible. We are changing the world and need people who are willing to lean in to help us achieve our Mission in a way that aligns with our values
