EHS&S Specialist

Lafayette, Louisiana, United States

At RES, we’re looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.

We are looking for an EHS&S Specialist to join our team, in Lafayette, LA, covering LA, TX and FL regions. 

 

The EHS&S Specialist will support RES operations throughout Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and other areas as assigned, ensuring environmental, health, safety, and security compliance across a wide variety of construction and ecological restoration projects. This role reflects RES’s commitment to our employees, clients, and communities.

Why You’ll Love This Job

This is a hands-on role where you’ll spend most of your time (about 70%) engaging directly with field crews, ensuring their safety and compliance, and coaching them toward best practices. You’ll also provide office-based support (about 30%) by managing safety records, training programs, and compliance systems.

You’ll be a trusted resource to both field teams and leadership, balancing proactive prevention with responsive solutions when incidents occur. If you’re energized by travel, working outdoors, and helping crews stay safe while delivering high-impact ecological projects, this job is for you.

  • Partner with Fleet Operations to verify fleet compliance.

Office Responsibilities (30%)

  • Develop, coordinate, and deliver safety training programs.
  • Lead and participate in safety committee meetings with employees, clients, and suppliers.
  • Maintain compliance records and databases (Avetta, ISNetworld, and others).
  • Perform administrative and reporting duties remotely.

We Would Like to Talk to You If You Have Many of the Following

  • 2+ years of experience in a safety role.
  • Experience in a construction-related environment, with working knowledge of heavy equipment.
  • Familiarity with OSHA construction safety standards.
  • Ability and willingness to travel frequently.

What Will Make You Stand Out

  • Bachelor’s degree in Safety, Environmental Science, Construction Management, or related field.
  • OSHA 30 (Construction) certification.
  • Professional certifications (CSP, GSP, CHST, ASP) or willingness to obtain.
  • Experience using compliance platforms such as Avetta and ISNetworld.
  • Experience leading training and safety committee meetings.

You Will Thrive in This Role If You

  • Communicate clearly and confidently with field crews, supervisors, and clients.
  • Can adapt quickly to changing site conditions and unexpected situations.
  • Have strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Bring a collaborative, team-first mindset while still able to take charge in urgent situations.
  • Are motivated by promoting a culture of safety and protecting people in the field.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
