Job description

Description and Requirements

Work Type: Onsite (2nd shift, Monday - Friday: 4:30 pm to 12:30 am)

Position Type: 12 months

Location: Charlotte, NC

Compensation Range: $34 per hour

Our multinational manufacturing client is seeking an EH&S professional operating as the sole EH&S and medical response presence on site during second shift. Accountable for safety compliance verification across the off-shift operating population and for occupational health and emergency medical response to night-shift employees. Works without on-site management, without a supervising clinician and without the meeting and approval structure available during core hours.

Key Responsibilities

• Verifies compliance with applicable safety requirements through direct, continuous observation of equipment, work practices and conditions while production is running — access that is not available during core hours.
• Identifies unsafe equipment and conditions and removes them from service immediately under delegated stop-work authority, then documents. Acts first and reports after where personnel are at risk.
• Observes work practices as they are actually performed rather than as procedures describe them, and coaches at the point of work.
• Conducts scheduled inspections of equipment, systems, emergency provisions and workplace conditions, and maintains the resulting inspection records to audit standard.
• Serves as the sole trained emergency medical responder on site during the shift. Assesses, treats within scope of practice, and makes the independent decision to arrange transport or activate emergency services without a supervising clinician available on site.
• Maintains emergency medical and first aid readiness across the site: supplies, equipment condition and expiry, responder coverage across all areas and break rotations.
• Responds to incidents in a dual capacity — treating the injured person and initiating the investigation — and maintains objectivity between the two.
• Secures the scene, captures physical evidence, photographs conditions and obtains witness accounts before the end of the shift, recognizing that off-shift evidence and witnesses are unavailable by the following morning.

Qualification:

• Minimum of 3 years relevant EH&S experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
• Current certification permitting unsupervised emergency medical assessment and treatment in an occupational setting, at a level appropriate to a site with no on-shift clinical supervision. Scope of practice must be confirmed against the specific occupational health duties assigned to the role under applicable state licensure.
• Demonstrated capability to work an entire shift without supervision, direction or escalation available, and to exercise judgment on safety and medical decisions independently.
• Sound written communication. The written shift record is the only visibility the client has into the shift and is relied upon for regulatory and corrective action decisions.
• Ability to hold a position under pressure and stop work or remove equipment from service without immediate management support present.
