Job Overview We are seeking a dynamic and proactive Industrial Safety Manager to lead our organization's efforts in creating a safe, compliant, and sustainable workplace environment. In this vital role, you will develop, implement, and oversee comprehensive safety programs that promote occupational health, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance across all operations. Your leadership will ensure that safety standards are integrated into daily activities, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability. This position offers an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact on employee well-being and environmental stewardship. Here are just a few things you can expect to do daily: Lead the site Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) program with a primary focus on risk reduction, learning, and operational excellence, rather than compliance alone.

Lead and continuously strengthen the Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention process, identifying, prioritizing, and actively controlling unacceptable and marginal fatality risks.

Serve as a visible, trusted EHS leader within the facility, building strong relationships with frontline employees, supervisors, contractors, and client partners. Partner with maintenance and operations teams to identify high-risk work and strengthen controls for activities including lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space entry, hot work, work at height, and contractor oversight. Lead incident and near-miss investigations through a learning-focused, systemic approach, identifying underlying organizational and operational contributors and driving corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Coach and support leaders in recognizing risk, understanding operational tradeoffs, and reinforcing effective safety-related decision-making in the field. Implement and oversee EHS training programs for all employees, including new hire orientation, OSHA 10-hour training, and recurring site-specific safety training, ensuring training aligns with actual work and risk exposure. Implement and sustain the Client Business Unit's and C&W Services' EHS policies, procedures, and programs, adapting them as needed to ensure effective site-level execution. Lead EHS hazard assessments, including Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and PPE assessments, identifying opportunities to strengthen controls and reduce exposure to risk. Oversee and continuously improve site EHS information systems to ensure data integrity, meaningful trend analysis, and clear insight into emerging risks and improvement opportunities. Support other sites on a periodic basis, including travel as required. Collaborate with cross-functional partners and participate in special projects or initiatives as assigned. What Makes Me Qualified? Don't meet all of the requirements but are still interested in working for us? Please apply and we will review your resume for other roles! 3+ years of EHS experience in manufacturing, agricultural processing, or a similarly complex industrial environment. Demonstrated experience identifying, prioritizing, and reducing Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) potential, including implementation of effective risk controls. Proven ability to apply EHS standards, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote a safe and healthy work environment through partnership with operations. Demonstrated proficiency with standard business and collaboration tools, including Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, for communication, reporting, and data analysis. Strong facilitation and interpersonal skills with the ability to effectively engage employees, supervisors, and leaders at all levels of the organization.
