Find & Apply For Safety Specialist / Coordinator Jobs in Prescott, Arizona

Position Summary The EHS Technician is the day-to-day, on-the-floor extension of the company's safety function. Working under the direction of the EHS Manager, you keep safety visible and active at your site: facilitating the training, programs, and procedures the EHS Manager introduces, conducting routine inspections, maintaining safety records and training documentation, and supporting incident investigations. This is an execution role, not a program-design role. The EHS Manager sets the standards, writes the policies, and owns the roadmap; you carry them onto the floor - facilitating the training, rolling out the procedures, and making those standards real - checking that guarding is in place, that lockout/tagout is being followed, that eyewash stations work, that training records are current, and that hazards get reported and closed out rather than tolerated. It is also a growth role. As the company's safety function is built from the ground up, you will get exposure to program development, regulatory compliance, and multi-site standardization - the foundation for advancing into an EHS Specialist or Coordinator role over time. What Makes This Role Different

• You are building alongside, not maintaining. The safety function is new - you will help stand up programs rather than inherit finished ones.
• Close mentorship. You work directly with the EHS Manager, with real coaching and a clear development path.
• Visible on the floor. Supervisors and operators will know you by name; you are the first safety contact at your site.
• Broad exposure. Manufacturing, chemical handling, contractor oversight, emergency preparedness, and regulatory recordkeeping - all in one role. Essential Responsibilities Daily Safety Presence & Inspections
• Conduct routine safety walkthroughs and documented inspections of production areas, shops, labs, and storage areas.
• Verify machine guarding, lockout/tagout, PPE use, chemical storage and labeling, and housekeeping standards are being followed.
• Check and maintain safety equipment - eyewash stations, safety showers, fire extinguishers, spill kits, first aid supplies, and emergency exits.
• Log findings, assign or escalate corrective actions, and follow up until issues are closed. Records, Documentation & Compliance Support
• Maintain safety records, inspection logs, training rosters, SDS files, and chemical inventories.
• Support OSHA and Cal/OSHA recordkeeping, including

OSHA 300

log entries and injury documentation, under the EHS Manager's direction.

• Compile data for monthly safety metrics and reporting.
• Help prepare for regulatory inspections and internal audits, and support corrective actions that follow. Training & Program Facilitation
• Deliver new-hire safety orientation and recurring toolbox talks at your site.
• Facilitate the training, programs, and procedures introduced by the EHS Manager - scheduling sessions, briefing supervisors, and making sure each rollout actually lands with the crews on your shift.
• Reinforce new procedures on the floor after rollout, answer employee questions, and report back to the EHS Manager on what is working and where adoption is lagging.
• Schedule and track required training, and flag employees approaching expiration.
• Assist the EHS Manager in developing training materials, job aids, and signage. Incident Response & Investigation Support
• Respond to injuries, near misses, spills, and property damage events; secure the area and gather initial facts, photos, and witness statements.
• Support root cause analysis and document investigation findings.
• Track corrective actions to completion and verify they are working.
• Circulate lessons learned to supervisors and employees at your site. Hazard Identification & Program Support
• Participate in Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and hazard assessments; recommend practical controls.
• Support rollout of lockout/tagout, confined space, chemical safety, machine guarding, ergonomics, and emergency preparedness programs.
• Coordinate contractor safety orientation and monitor contractor work on site.
• Assist with emergency drills and after-action follow-up. Qualifications Required
• High school diploma or GED; coursework or a certificate in Occupational Safety, EHS, Industrial Technology, or a related field is a plus.
• 1+ years of experience in a manufacturing, industrial, construction, warehouse, or military environment, with exposure to safety practices.
• Basic familiarity with OSHA general industry requirements and common industrial hazards.
• Comfortable spending most of the day on the production floor rather than at a desk.
• Solid written and verbal communication skills; able to write a clear inspection note and speak up to a supervisor about an unsafe condition.
• Organized and reliable with recordkeeping; competent with Microsoft Office or similar tools.
• Based at the Prescott, AZ site; valid driver's license and ability to travel occasionally to the San Jose-area, CA facilities, including by air as required. Preferred
• Associate's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, or a related field.
• OSHA 10-Hour or OSHA 30-Hour certification.
• First aid / CPR / AED certification, or emergency response experience.
• Experience with hazardous materials handling, chemical processing, semiconductor, or wafer processing environments.
• Familiarity with Cal/OSHA requirements in addition to federal OSHA.
• Experience supporting incident investigations or JHAs. Key Competencies
• Attention to Detail
• Safety Awareness & Hazard Recognition
• Recordkeeping & Documentation
• Follow-Through on Corrective Actions
• Communication with Frontline Employees
• Dependability & Initiative
• Willingness to Learn
• Teamwork & Support Orientation Physical Requirements
• Ability to work in manufacturing and industrial environments, including exposure to noise, temperature variation, and chemicals with appropriate PPE.
