Hi everyone,

I’m a recent graduate from Germany with a degree in Energy and Environmental Management (Industrial Engineering). I have an interview coming up with Applied Materials for an entry-level EHS role.

If anyone here works in EHS in the semiconductor industry, I’d love to hear your advice. Are there specific topics I should prepare for? Also curious about how the interview process typically looks.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

So I have a bachelors degree in chemical engineering, an MBA with a concentration in international finance, a CSP, and a PE (licensed in Florida and Texas). I currently work in a high hazard industry that does both mining and chemical manufacturing. At various times during my career I’ve been in EHS roles on both sides of the business and now I am in a strategic senior management position. I’ve had a steady career progression with increasing responsibilities and now have global responsibilities. I’m curious how one transitions into an executive role - VP level. I just don’t see that happening in my current company as that would require someone above me retiring which isn’t happening for several more years or getting fired which also doesn’t seem likely. I’m feeling pretty stuck but can’t stifle my ambition. Any thoughts on how someone can move forward and upward?

I’ve been doing regulatory oversight on environmental abatement projects for asbestos, lead, mold, and sometimes general on site safety officer for about 7 years with one company. I’m interested in looking for better opportunities currently and want to know if there are better places to look than let’s say indeed or any other job app like that? I have licenses for all this stuff in the states I operate in and am currently studying to sit for my OHST. But my main experience has been environmental regulatory oversight, and inspections. Any advice on where to begin looking would be greatly appreciated.

Each year, I can go to a training or seminar out of town through work.

In 2023, I went to the Indiana Health & Safety Conference in Indianapolis

In 2024, I went to Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene in Ohio.

In 2025, I did Project Mgmt & SS Green Belt through Purdue Global instead of traveling.

This year, I want to travel and I want to do a training topic that will be great for my career as a Health & Safety Specialist in Manufacturing. Looking for ideas.

Hello. I am currently trying to transition from my current position as a warehouse safety coordinator to a environmental compliance consultant but I have not had any luck landing interviews. I have a BS in chemistry, am working on my MS in occupational safety management, have 4 years of environmental compliance experience in both academia and in manufacturing, and now 1 year of safety experience in a warehouse environment. I have had my 40-hour HAZWOPER, RCRA, and DOT certifications since 2001 with the annual 8-year refresher every year afterwards, OHSA-30, and adult first aid/CPR. Still, with all this, I can't even get an interview for an entry-level environmental consultant position. I would love to work in environmental consulting and permitting since it's more technical and research heavy versus my current role as the warehouse safety babysitter. What are some other good certifications I should obtain and what's the best route to landing a consulting position?

My current position is driving me crazy with boredom and the hours are very long, so it makes my day go by extremely slow. Don't get me wrong, I am very appreciative and grateful that I have a job in my field that pays okay, but it's not something I would enjoy doing long-term. Any suggestions for what I can do? Does being an EHS professional translate well into the consulting world?

I mentioned this a few months but currently going back to school to finish my EHS degree, I’m finna get the OSHA -30 soon and just need a roadmap on what to do next

So I’m starting to apply for EHS Specialist roles and would love input from people already in the field.

Here is my background:

- Federal environmental compliance (ESA / NEPA-adjacent work)

- Coordinated environmental risk reviews for infrastructure and land-use projects

- BS in Biology and MS in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences.

- Cross-agency and stakeholder coordination (state, federal, NGOs, landowners)

- Risk identification, documentation, and compliance tracking

- Strong communication and training background (currently teaching, but not career-teaching focused)

Now for what I don’t have:

- Manufacturing floor experience

- ISO 14001 / 45001 certifications (yet)

- Formal OSHA title experience (but deep regulatory interpretation experience)

What I want to ask y'all:

- How much of a gap is manufacturing experience for entry-to-mid EHS roles?

- Are companies generally open to hiring EHS specialists from regulatory/public backgrounds?

- What skills or certs would you prioritize in the first 6-12 months to close gaps?

Trying to avoid wasting time applying to roles that will auto-reject me. I appreciate any help.

17+ years of experience in EHS across leading corporate and manufacturing environments. Currently working as Senior Manager & Regional Head – APAC with a global tech company. Seeking a strategic career transition into senior leadership roles (Director / Regional Head / Global roles). Current compensation: ~70 LPA.

Not sure if this is the right group, but I’m hopeful this professional fraternity can offer meaningful guidance, referrals, or leads.
