• Identify and control risk at the source through inspections, hazard assessments, JHAs/risk assessments, and proactive partnership on equipment installs/expansions to incorporate safe design and engineering controls.
• Respond to and prevent incidents by leading investigations (root cause analysis), implementing corrective/preventive actions, delivering safety training, and supporting emergency preparedness and response activities.

What You Bring (Requirements)

• Bachelor’s degree in Safety Engineering, Occupational Safety, Industrial Engineering, EHS, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 3-5 years of manufacturing safety experience, including hands-on OSHA compliance and practical application of general industry standards.
• Proven incident investigation capability, including root cause analysis and driving corrective actions to completion.
• Strong communication and influence skills, with experience delivering training, partnering cross-functionally, and using data/metrics to guide safety improvements.
