The Opportunity

LHH Recruitment is partnering with a well-established industrial manufacturing organization that is experiencing significant growth and investing in its Health, Safety & Environment function. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced safety professional who enjoys being hands-on in a manufacturing environment and wants the ability to make a visible impact. This is not simply a regulatory or paperwork-focused position. You will spend significant time working alongside operations and employees to identify hazards, improve safety programs, investigate incidents, deliver training, and help create a safer working environment.

What You'll Do

• Support day-to-day health, safety, and environmental programs across a large manufacturing facility
• Conduct facility inspections, safety audits, and hazard assessments
• Identify unsafe conditions and partner with operations leadership to implement solutions
• Support and administer respiratory protection and hearing conservation programs
• Lead and participate in incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
• Deliver safety training, toolbox talks, and employee education
• Promote safe practices related to welding, fabrication, heavy equipment, forklifts, cranes, and industrial operations
• Support employee exposure monitoring and medical monitoring programs
• Help address welding fumes, airborne contaminants, chemical exposure, ventilation, and other industrial hygiene concerns
• Maintain safety records and track HSE performance
• Partner closely with employees, supervisors, plant leadership, and HSE leadership
• Utilize root cause analysis tools such as TapRooT or similar methodologies
• Provide occasional support outside standard business hours when serious safety incidents occur
• Potentially grow into a broader role supporting additional business operations and locations

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of relevant HSE, EHS, or industrial safety experience preferred
• Hands-on experience within manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation, heavy industrial, metal fabrication, or another high-risk environment
• Strong knowledge of workplace safety practices and OSHA requirements
• Experience performing safety inspections, audits, and incident investigations
• Understanding of industrial hazards involving heavy equipment, material handling, forklifts, cranes, electrical systems, and machinery
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build credibility with both production employees and leadership

Highly Preferred

• Knowledge of welding safety, ventilation, fumes, hearing and respiratory exposure, and medical monitoring
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, Industrial Hygiene, or a related field
• Professional safety certification such as CSP, ASP, NEBOSH, or similar
• TapRooT or comparable root cause investigation experience

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Growth: Join an organization actively expanding its workforce and investing in its safety function
• Impact: This isn't a behind-the-scenes position. You'll have the opportunity to directly influence how employees work safely every day.
• Ownership: Leadership wants someone knowledgeable enough to take responsibility for programs and operate with autonomy.
• Exposure: Work across a complex industrial environment involving welding, fabrication, cranes, heavy equipment, respiratory hazards, and more.
• Career potential: There is an opportunity for this role to become more cross-functional and potentially support additional business operations in the future.
• Relocation available: Candidates outside the immediate Ponca City area are encouraged to apply.
