About the role
About The Role
BSI Consulting Services is seeking a seasoned Environmental, Health, and Safety Auditor to join our consulting team. This is a hands-on, field-based auditing role that requires extensive direct, on-site experience performing EHS and environmental compliance audits at industrial and commercial facilities across the United States. This position is NOT focused on audit oversight, program management, or administrative coordination. Successful candidates will have a proven background personally planning, conducting, and documenting compliance audits, rather than managing or supervising audits performed by others.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, lead, and execute EHS and environmental compliance audits at client facilities across the U.S., including regulatory compliance and risk-based audits.
- Perform hands-on environmental compliance assessments, evaluating conformity with applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations (air, waste, water, chemical management, etc.).
- Conduct on-site inspections, employee interviews, and document reviews to identify compliance gaps and regulatory risks.
- Prepare clear, accurate, and high-quality audit reports, including findings and corrective action recommendations.
- Provide technical review and quality assurance of audit deliverables prepared by other team members.
- Collaborate directly with industrial clients to deliver EHS compliance management services and practical, implementable solutions.
- Consistently meet or exceed client expectations related to scope, schedule, budget, and technical quality.
- Support long-term client relationships that drive repeat business and ongoing engagements.
- Travel to client sites approximately 25–50% of the time.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in environmental, civil, or chemical engineering; environmental science; sustainability; public health; safety; or a related field.
- 5–15 years of EHS consulting and regulatory compliance experience.
- Minimum of 5 years of direct, hands-on experience performing EHS and environmental compliance audits (experience limited to oversight, review, or coordination does not meet this requirement).
- Demonstrated experience personally conducting environmental regulatory compliance audits, including permitting, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
- Strong working knowledge of U.S. environmental, health, and safety regulations and compliance programs.
- Experience working in industrial or manufacturing environments, either as a consultant or in-house at regulated facilities.
- Proven ability to independently manage audits from planning through field execution and final reporting.
- Consistent track record of high-quality project delivery and client satisfaction.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- CHMM, CSP, CPEA, or other relevant professional certification.
- ISO 14001 and/or ISO 45001 Lead Auditor certification.
