Job Summary

We are the Innovation + Architectural team of Acuity Brands Lighting, and we are inventing the future of light.

We're looking for a passionate, proactive, and purpose-driven Environmental Health & Safety Manager to join our team and oversee EH&S coordination across four dynamic facilities supporting four of our brands: Eureka, Cyclone, Luminis, and A-Light. This is a pivotal role for someone who is ready to step into a high-impact position with visibility across multiple sites and direct connection to our corporate EH&S function.

This isn't just a compliance role. It's a chance to shape culture, drive accountability, and be the heartbeat of safety across our three facilities in the Montreal area and one in Oceanside, California.

This position will support and oversee our three sites in Terrebonne, Pointe-Claire, and Montreal, with regular and ongoing travel required between locations.

With less than 25 percent travel and a home base in the Montreal area, this role offers the perfect balance of mobility and stability, giving you the opportunity to build deep relationships across sites while staying rooted in one of Canada's most vibrant cities.
