Job Summary

The EHS Training & Compliance Specialist designs, delivers, and measures the effectiveness of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) training programs for the Elk River manufacturing facility — and serves as a visible, hands‑on presence on the plant floor. This role identifies training gaps, translates OSHA, EPA, and internal safety standards into engaging, practical training content, and conducts routine floor walk‑throughs and behavioral observations to catch compliance issues in real time. When a gap is found, this person has the knowledge and standing to diagnose the issue, address it directly, and train the right people so it doesn’t happen again. The Specialist owns day‑to‑day administration of the Human Safety Learning Management System (LMS) for all EHS‑related training and partners with the Training Manager to build and maintain the plant’s safety competency framework.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Training Design & Development

Assess EHS training needs in partnership with Leadership, supervisors, and the safety committee

Review incident reports, near‑miss data, and audit findings to identify where training could reduce risk and improve compliance

Translate OSHA General Industry (29 CFR 1910), EPA requirements, and internal safety programs into trainable content and host training sessions

Develop training materials in multiple formats (presentations, job aids, videos, toolbox talks, e‑learning modules)

Build and maintain EHS training courses in the plant’s Learning Management System (LMS) for both English and Spanish delivery, including automated course assignment by role, department, and hire date

Design knowledge assessments, quizzes, and practical competency checks aligned with learning objectives

Build and document EHS competency standards that define what safe and compliant looks like for each plant role

Plant Floor Compliance

Conduct regular — and at times unannounced — walk‑throughs of the production floor to identify OSHA, EPA, and internal compliance gaps in real time

When a gap or hazard is identified, diagnose the root cause on the spot and determine the appropriate immediate corrective action, rather than only logging it for later follow‑up

Bring compliance findings and training priorities to plant and production meetings on a recurring basis so supervisors and shift leads stay aligned on what is being reinforced and why

Training Delivery & Assessment

Conduct new hire safety orientation and onboarding for production associates, maintenance, contractors, and all plant personnel

Administer Personal Protective Equipment programs (hard hats, captive shoe program, etc.)

Conduct refresher training when procedures change, incidents occur, or audit findings require retraining

Administer knowledge checks and assessments at the end of training sessions; score assessments and provide feedback to employees

Effectiveness Measurement & Continuous Improvement

Return to the production floor after training to observe whether employees are applying safe work practices

Document specific behaviors that demonstrate competency (or gaps) in employee performance

Identify trends and provide monthly training effectiveness reports to the Training Manager

Revise training materials based on employee performance, assessment results, and incident investigations

Update content when SOPs, regulations, or equipment change

EHS Compliance & Recordkeeping Support

Serve as the primary administrator of the plant’s LMS for all EHS-related training: build and update courses, assign training paths, track completions, and generate compliance reports

Maintain accurate training records to support OSHA 300/300A logs and other regulatory recordkeeping

Assist in preparation for internal and external audits (OSHA, insurance loss control, corporate EHS) by providing training documentation

Reinforce compliance through consistent tracking and follow‑up with supervisors

Required Qualifications

3+ years of experience in EHS training, safety coordination, or a related field, ideally in manufacturing or a regulated environment

OSHA 30‑Hour General Industry Certification — required. Candidates who do not currently hold this certification must obtain it within 30 days of hire.

Bilingual, Spanish. 1-2 years’ experience working in a multilingual environment

Working knowledge of OSHA General Industry regulations and EPA requirements

Demonstrated, hands‑on experience administering a Learning Management System (LMS), building and updating courses, assigning training by role/department, tracking completions, and generating compliance reports

Strong ability to create, design, and develop training content

Experience assessing learning and measuring training effectiveness

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred

OSHA 30‑Hour Train‑the‑Trainer certification or equivalent train‑the‑trainer credential

Experience in food/beverage manufacturing or another regulated production environment

Experience supporting EHS audits, incident investigations, or root cause analysis

Key Competencies

Strong attention to detail and accuracy

Organization and follow‑through

Ability to work effectively across a diverse, multilingual workforce

Adaptability in a dynamic production environment

A visible, credible safety presence that builds trust on the plant floor

Comfortable exercising real‑time authority on the floor — able to identify, address, and follow through on a safety issue without waiting for it to escape

Food Safety Responsibilities

Model and reinforce food safety culture through safe, compliant behaviors while working on the manufacturing floor.

Support human safety training and observations in a manner that does not compromise GMPs, hygiene, allergen controls, or product protection practices.
