CIH, CSP and EHS support — remote, on-site, or on the seat

Which one fits

Three delivery modes, one standard of technical judgment

The judgment behind all three is the same. What changes is how it reaches the site — remote, scheduled on-site visits, or a person in the seat every day — and that is what sets the price.

Starting rates

Published CIH and CSP tiers

On-Call and Fractional share one rate ladder — the difference is delivery mode and travel, not price. Staff Augmentation prices inside the staffing band, reflecting a filled seat rather than a delivered judgment. Other credentials and disciplines are quoted on request.

Example pricing for direct commercial engagements. Federal and DOE subcontract work is priced per solicitation and applicable wage determinations. Safety Manager reflects site/project-level scope (DOE guide band $95–$140/hr); EHS Manager reflects programmatic scope (DOE guide band $115–$165/hr) — see the Fractional section below for what separates the two. Other credential levels and disciplines — industrial hygiene, environmental, project and work control, engineering — are quoted on request.

01 · Remote

Vantage On-Call

Vantage On-Call is a remote service of CIH, CSP and EHS professional support — expert direction delivered without a body on-site, priced and delivered as a consulting product rather than a staffing placement.

• Program-level guidance — standing behind a decision, reviewing a plan, backing a technical call before it goes to the client or the site.
• Coverage between visits — the gap a Fractional or Staff Aug engagement doesn’t fill on its own.
• Document and program review — exposure assessments, written programs, monitoring plans, citation response.
• No minimum term. Hours are billed monthly, at the published tier for the volume used.

02 · On-site, scheduled

Fractional CIH, CSP, Safety Manager & EHS Manager

The same judgment as Vantage On-Call, delivered on-site on a recurring, scheduled cadence — the right fit when a program needs a regular in-person presence but not a full-time hire.

Same person each month. A project consultant is bought by the deliverable and leaves when it ships; a Fractional seat is bought by the month and stays.

Who do you need?

Site-level Safety Manager and programmatic EHS Manager are two rungs on the same ladder, not two unrelated roles — a program that starts with one site-level Safety Manager scales into an EHS Manager owning several. Worth a conversation on where a given project sits on that ladder before scoping either.

Travel and expenses bill at cost. No markup on airfare, lodging, mileage or per diem. Per diem follows the GSA rate for the locality. First-time badging and site-specific training bill at half rate, capped at 16 hours, once per client.

03 · On-site, full-time

Staff Augmentation

A qualified professional placed on your site, full-time, managed day to day by your team — the seat, plus what keeps it filled.

• The seat. A professional screened against the technical scope of the role, the site’s access requirements, and the engagement model.
• Continuity and backfill when the assigned person is unavailable.
• CIH oversight standing behind the technical work, not just the labor hours.
• One-month minimum. This is what a full-time, on-site commitment requires to be staffed responsibly — it is not available at will-call.

Roles staffed

Industrial hygiene — CIHs · senior industrial hygienists · early-career IHs · sampling technicians · beryllium and DOE-complex specialists

Safety and EHS — CSPs · EHS directors and managers · site safety managers · construction safety professionals · safety coordinators · emergency-response support

Environmental and remediation — environmental professionals · CHMMs · QEPs · environmental planners · waste and compliance specialists · field coordinators

Project and work control — work-control planners · project managers · program managers · PMP-qualified leaders · project controls · operations support

Engineering and technical — EHS, environmental, process safety, mechanical integrity, civil and structural, electrical, fire protection and nuclear engineers · PE-qualified where the scope requires

Candidates are screened by a practicing Certified Industrial Hygienist and Certified Safety Professional against the technical scope of the role, the site’s access and qualification requirements, and the engagement model. Placements are made company-to-company, 1099 or W-2, so a professional who operates their own business can take the work without changing how they are set up. Travel and expenses bill at cost, GSA per diem, no markup.

What to send

The scope, location, schedule, required credentials, site access or clearance requirements, and which of the three fits — or let the first conversation settle it. Where none of the three is the right fit, Vantage will say so.
