• Maintain accurate records of incidents, training, inspections, and safety-related activities.
• Conduct routine safety inspections and audits at multiple company locations.
• Assist leadership with identifying trends, recurring hazards, and opportunities for safety improvement.

• Ability to communicate effectively with hourly employees, supervisors, and management.
• Comfortable working in both office and active industrial environments.
• Must be able to travel between company locations, with approximately 50% travel expected.

Preferred Qualifications

• OSHA certification.
