  • Administer OSHA logs, workers’ compensation, and return-to-work programs
  • Serve as an internal consultant on ergonomics, industrial hygiene, hazardous materials, and chemical safety

What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on, practical safety leadership on the shop floor
  • Strong knowledge of OSHA and workplace safety standards
  • Experience supporting compliance in a structured, growing organization
