- Deliver hands-on safety training and lead regular safety meetings
- Manage and lead the company Safety Committee
- Ensure ongoing compliance with OSHA (and related standards)
- Maintain accurate safety records, reports, and metrics
- Partner with leadership and external agencies to resolve safety concerns
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5+ years of safety management experience in manufacturing/industrial settings
- Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations (EPA & ANSI a plus)
- Proven experience developing and implementing safety programs
- Comfortable being on the floor and engaging directly with employees
- Strong communicator and natural leader
- Organized, accountable, and solution-oriented
Nice to Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health & Safety or related field
- Safety certifications or Health & Safety Officer registration
- Experience with ISO 45001, OSHA VPP, or similar systems
- Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and Microsoft Office
- Experience leading a safety committee
Why Join?
- Make a visible, meaningful impact on workplace safety
- Work in a hands-on leadership role , not behind a desk
- Competitive pay and stable day-shift schedule
- Opportunity to build and shape safety culture long-term
You should be proficient in:
- OSHA 10-Hour Certification (OSHA 10)
- ISO 9001 Certification Experience
