[Hiring] EHS Project Manager @CDMS

Role Description

We are hiring Remote EHS Project Managers based in the Philippines to run the engine behind our clients' compliance programs: the planning, the regulatory work and the coordination that keep California factories and warehouses compliant and their people safe.

• Manage remote project delivery
• Keep track of each assigned client's permits, plans, deadlines and open items.
• Build and run compliance calendars so every filing, renewal, inspection and training happens on time.
• Prepare clear status updates and questions for the California team to take to clients.

• Read regulations and agency guidance, and summarize what applies to a given facility.

Coordinate local EHS specialists and field staff:

• Turn field notes, photos and data into finished, client-ready reports.
• Review drafts from junior and remote team members before they go to clients.

Run the projects:

• Scope tasks, track hours and budgets, and keep project records current in our project management system (Accelo).
