Position Summary: Asset Guard is seeking an experienced HSE Manager to lead and strengthen our health, safety, and environmental program from our Decatur, TX plant. This role is primarily safety-focused, with approximately 70–80% of the work centered on workplace safety, OSHA compliance, field safety, incident prevention, training, audits, and safety culture. The remaining 20–30% supports environmental compliance, inspections, permitting, reporting, chemical management, and waste management. The ideal candidate is a hands-on HSE professional who can assess current processes, identify gaps, refresh documentation, and lead practical implementation with minimal supervision. This is a high-impact opportunity for a collaborative safety leader who wants to modernize an HSE program, build trust with crews, and make a visible difference in a growing industrial and construction-focused organization.
Ideal Candidate Profile: The right candidate brings strong OSHA knowledge, 5+ years of hands-on HSE experience, and the confidence to build, improve, document, and implement safety programs—not just maintain an already mature corporate system. Construction safety experience is strongly preferred; industrial, manufacturing, oil and gas, or field service experience is also valuable. Spanish/English bilingual ability is highly preferred because this leader will facilitate safety meetings, communicate procedures, build rapport, and support frontline teams in both languages.
Key Roles / Responsibilities:
- Assess the current HSE program, identify gaps, prioritize improvements, and lead implementation of refreshed safety and environmental processes.
- Own and improve safety programs, policies, procedures, training materials, inspections, audits, documentation, corrective action tracking, and HSE performance metrics.
- Serve as the primary HSE subject matter expert for the Decatur plant and provide practical safety support to manufacturing, construction, industrial, oil and gas, and field service operations.
- Lead OSHA compliance efforts, including hazard identification, workplace inspections, incident prevention, recordkeeping support, corrective actions, and employee training.
- Partner with supervisors, crews, field leaders, and company leadership to strengthen safety culture through collaboration, trust, coaching, and relationship-based influence.
- Facilitate safety meetings, toolbox talks, training, procedure communication, and employee engagement in English and Spanish.
- Conduct jobsite, plant, and field audits to evaluate safe work practices, regulatory compliance, and customer HSE requirements.
- Review, support, and lead incident investigations involving injuries, illnesses, property damage, vehicle events, environmental events, near misses, and unsafe conditions; partner with leaders to implement corrective actions.
- Develop, track, summarize, and communicate HSE performance metrics, trends, findings, and improvement plans to leadership.
- Maintain organized HSE documents and records to support customer requirements, agency requests, audits, inspections, and internal program management.
- Coordinate with Field Service Managers and customer-facing teams to meet customer-specific HSE requirements, orientations, training, reporting, and contractor management expectations.
- Monitor and maintain contractor information management systems such as ISN, Veriforce, and related platforms with required safety, environmental, and company information.
- Support environmental compliance activities, including inspections, permits, audits, reporting, chemical management, waste management, and applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
- Maintain working knowledge of current and proposed OSHA standards and relevant environmental regulations.
- Travel (as needed) for field visits, audits, customer requirements, and operational support.
- Perform other related HSE duties and special projects as needed to support program growth and operational excellence.
This Job is Unique Because:
- Opportunity to build, refresh, and modernize an HSE program rather than simply maintain the status quo.
- Visible impact as the primary safety leader supporting the Decatur plant and field operations.
- Strong partnership with operations leaders and frontline teams to strengthen safety culture through collaboration and trust.
- Ability to bring fresh perspective, practical solutions, and long-term structure to a growing organization.

Required Education, Experience, and Qualifications:
- At least five (5) years of hands-on HSE, safety, or EHS experience in construction, manufacturing, industrial operations, field service, oil and gas, or a related environment.
- Strong working knowledge of OSHA standards, hazard recognition, workplace safety practices, inspections, incident investigations, corrective actions, and safety training.
- Demonstrated ability to build, improve, document, and implement safety programs, procedures, and training in a practical operating environment.
- Ability to work independently as the sole HSE subject matter expert while keeping leadership informed and aligned.
- Construction safety experience is highly preferred.
- Spanish/English bilingual ability highly preferred.
- Experience supporting environmental compliance, inspections, permitting, reporting, chemical management, or waste management preferred.
- Collaborative, relationship-based leadership style with the ability to earn trust, influence without direct authority, and partner effectively with crews and leaders.

- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities across plant and field environments.
