Providing a safe and healthful work environment for NJIT students, faculty, staff, and guests is a core value of the department. Similarly, achieving a high level of compliance with the numerous Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) regulations, guidelines, statutes, and standards is a priority. As the NJIT research portfolio has expanded in recent years, and new faculty hires have implemented more complex research initiatives, the EHS department requires the expertise needed to help facilitate safe and compliant research on the NJIT campus.

Reporting to the Director, the Environmental Health and Safety Manager will develop, implement, and administer those EHS programs required to assure occupational safety, life safety, and environmental compliance across the spectrum of NJIT operations.

Primary responsibilities include fostering a “culture of safety” across all operational disciplines of NJIT and among NJIT students, faculty, and staff. The incumbent will be principally responsible for providing a wide variety of EHS services; overseeing routine and non-routine EHS projects, investigations, and inspections; maintaining accurate recordkeeping; generating professional EHS reports; liaising with the EHS regulatory community; and providing follow up documentation to all levels of the NJIT community.
