Environmental Health & Safety Manager (Contract)

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is seeking experienced Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a full-time EHS role. You’ll use your real-world experience to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand EHS work, compliance, and safety practices.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside your primary employment.

Who This Is For

This opportunity is designed for established professionals currently working (or recently working) in roles such as:

• Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager or Lead

• Safety Engineer or Risk Assessment Engineer

• Occupational Health and Safety Specialist

• Environmental Compliance Manager or Specialist

• Industrial Safety Consultant or HSE Advisor

This is not a traditional full-time role. You’ll apply once and, if qualified, be considered for part-time, project-based work as new projects become available.

What You’ll Do

This project involves using your professional experience as an Environmental Engineer or EHS professional to design job-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to your field.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We’re looking for established professionals with:

• 4+ years of professional experience in Environmental Health & Safety, Environmental Engineering, or closely related roles.

• Hands-on experience with accident investigation, safety training, regulatory compliance, and product safety evaluation.

• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.

• Comfortable working independently and following written guidelines.

• Professional judgment, reliability, and a high standard of discretion and confidentiality, especially with sensitive or proprietary information.

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)

• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer

• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project

• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
