Role: Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ)

Our client, a Leading Chemical and Hygiene Solutions Provider, is looking to recruit and fill a Position of EHS Intern

Key Role

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Intern to support the EHS function in fulfilling critical tasks related to EHS legal requirements and operational safety documentation. The internship provides a valuable learning opportunity for a recent graduate or entry-level professional seeking hands-on experience in environmental, health, and safety management.

The intern will assist in compiling regulatory submissions, managing documentation, tracking PPE inventory, and coordinating local EHS compliance activities. This role is particularly important in helping the team maintain compliance with evolving legal obligations related to chemical management, waste handling, and permit-to-work systems.

Duties and Responsibilities

Assist in maintaining regulatory compliance by compiling and submitting documentation for chemical registrations, waste reporting, and packaging permits.
Support the review and formatting of EHS documents including procedures, policies, and safe work permits to ensure they meet legal and internal standards.
Track PPE stock movement, coordinate dispatch logistics, and maintain accurate inventory records to support field safety requirements.
Collaborate with EHS and operations teams to prepare for statutory audits, inspections, and contractor briefings.
Conduct physical file checks and data entry to ensure EHS documentation (e.g., SDS, permits, inspection records) is current and complete.
Liaise internal teams to collect and update Safety Data Sheets and compliance certificates.
Participate in EHS site visits and assist in recording observations, corrective actions, and inspection follow-up.
Maintain organized digital and physical filing systems for regulatory and operational records.
Monitor deadlines and proactively follow up to ensure timely submission of compliance reports.
Provide administrative support during audits, trainings, and regional EHS coordination efforts.
Provide occasional support to the Operational Quality team, specifically in the area of Quality Control (QC) release documentation and follow-up, during periods when the Quality representative is out of office. This will be limited in scope and will not affect the intern’s primary responsibilities within the EHS function.
