About ERM

Our company is the world's largest independent sustainability consulting firm, with more than 8,000 specialists across 40 countries. Since its founding in 1971, ERM has focused exclusively on projects related to environmental issues, social challenges, and sustainability, earning high recognition. Multiple research institutions recognize ERM as a leader in this field.

We provide services that cater to diverse client needs, ranging from advisory work—such as decarbonization strategies, climate change measures, and sustainability strategy development—to specialized assessments, including environmental and social impact evaluations, soil and groundwater contamination remediation, and environmental due diligence.

Given the increasing demand for labor safety consulting, we are currently recruiting EHS consultants. This position involves providing consulting services related to Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) for various clients. Many of our clients are global companies, so English communication may be required.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct EHS consulting for clients’ production sites
• Manage and report incidents and near misses
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements at worksites
• Perform EHS audits and foster a strong safety culture
• Provide feedback regarding environmental, health, and safety conditions at project sites

As employees gain experience and improve their skills, they will have the opportunity to take on larger-scale projects. Many of our employees start without prior consulting experience, making it an ideal environment for long-term career development.

• At least three years of experience in environmental, health, and safety fields
