[Hiring] Programmatic EHS Manager @Nscale

Role Description

We're looking for a Programmatic EHS Manager to create, train, implement, and manage Nscale's overall Environmental, Health & Safety program for Low Voltage. You'll set the safety standards, processes, and metrics that every low-voltage project follows, ensuring they are applied consistently across sites and regions as we scale AI data center deployments.

The program covers everyone doing low-voltage work for Nscale: our full-time employees, Nscale contract employees, and the installation contractors we hire. You'll own the program for Nscale's own workforce and manage how installation contractors' safety programs meet our standards.

Confined space entry is a major part of this role. Low-voltage work regularly takes crews into underground vaults, manholes, utility tunnels, duct banks, and other permit-required spaces, and you will ensure everyone who enters them is trained, permitted, monitored, and covered by a rescue plan.

Our sites run several safety programs at once, including the general contractor's, the site owner's, and Nscale's own. You'll be the low-voltage team's main EHS contact with all of them. This is a program role rather than a site role, but in rare cases, you will cover site safety directly when there is a gap in coverage.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of EHS experience, including 3+ years in construction, data center, mission-critical, telecom, or electrical/low-voltage environments.
• Experience creating and managing a multi-site EHS program covering employees, contract employees, and subcontractors.
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA 1910 and 1926, NFPA 70E, and construction safety best practices.
• Hands-on experience running or overseeing a permit-required confined space program, including atmospheric monitoring, entry permits, and rescue planning.
• Experience working within multi-employer construction sites and coordinating with general contractor and owner safety programs.
• Proven experience with contractor safety management, incident investigation, root cause analysis, and OSHA recordkeeping.
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification (OSHA 500/510 trainer authorization a plus).
• Ability to develop and deliver effective training to field crews and leadership.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence contractors, project teams, and senior stakeholders.

Requirements

• CSP, ASP, CHST, or equivalent professional safety certification.
• Confined space entry trainer, competent person, or rescue certification.
• Experience on hyperscale, cloud, HPC, or AI infrastructure deployments.
• Familiarity with contractor prequalification platforms (e.g., ISNetworld, Avetta) and EHS management software.
• Experience with ISO 45001 or ISO 14001 management systems.

Benefits

• Competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, flexible paid time off, parental leave, and retirement plan participation.
