Environmental Health & Safety Manager
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
