EHS Technician - Safety & Security; Part-Time Shift

EHS Technician - Safety & Security (Part-Time Shift)

Alachua, FL

Strive Pharmacy is a personalized compounding pharmacy built on a simple conviction: medicine should fit the patient, not the other way around. We started Strive because we believed the pharmaceutical industry was overdue for a more human approach—one that prioritizes individualized care, clinical nuance, and genuine partnership with patients and providers.

Compounding gives us the tools to do that. Every formulation we prepare is built to the specific needs of a specific person, and every interaction we have is guided by that same commitment to personalized care.

We're growing, and we're looking for people who share that conviction. If you're ready to be part of a pharmacy that takes the work seriously and the people even more seriously, we'd like to meet you.

Strive exists to disrupt an industry long overdue for a more personal approach to care. We put the human element at the center of everything: every formulation, every patient interaction, every provider partnership. We're not just a compounding pharmacy. We're a team on a mission to change what personalized healthcare looks and feels like.

Position Overview:

The EHS Technician is a direct, in-house employee dedicated exclusively to the safety, security, and compliance of Strive's premises. This is strictly an unarmed position at all times; no firearms or weapons are permitted on duty. The primary function of this role is to act as a visible deterrent, observe the facility, report anomalies or safety risks, and coordinate emergency responses.

Personnel in this role will utilize verbal de-escalation techniques to resolve conflicts but will have absolutely no authority to physically intervene, restrain, or detain individuals. The Technician will conduct continuous facility patrols, monitor life safety systems, audit contractor safety, and serve as the 24/7 focal point for critical utility reporting and emergency response.

Key Responsibilities:

• Continuously monitor the facility and grounds to identify safety risks, unauthorized access, or policy violations.
• Act exclusively in an observe-and-report capacity during security or safety incidents.
• Utilize approved verbal de-escalation techniques to diffuse tense situations and gain voluntary compliance from employees or visitors.
• Adhere strictly to the mandate that this role does not possess—and must never exercise—the authority to physically intervene, restrain, or temporarily detain any employee, visitor, or intruder.
• CCTV & Access Control:
  Perform active CCTV monitoring and routine historical footage review (via CCURE/BMS platforms) to identify security vulnerabilities, safety violations, or unauthorized access.
• 24/7 BMS & Utility Monitoring:
  Act as the primary after-hours and active-shift monitor for the Building Management System (BMS). Respond to and report alarms related to HVAC failures, cleanroom pressure differential drops, and temperature/humidity excursions.
• Contractor Safety Reporting:
  Act as the EHS "boots on the ground" for contractor oversight. Audit contractor compliance regarding required PPE, Safe Work Permits (e.g., Confined Space, Hot Work, LOTO), and report safety deviations or "near misses" immediately

Controlled Substance Security & EHS Compliance:

• Monitor access to high-security areas, including Schedule III controlled substance zones, ensuring strict adherence to Strive's documented security plans and DEA registration protocols.
• Conduct routine safety walkthroughs to identify and mitigate environmental, health, and safety hazards.
• Ensure daily operations comply with internal loss prevention policies.
• Diesel Tank Inspections:
  Conduct routine checks and log fuel levels for the facility's emergency backup generator diesel tanks to ensure 24/7 readiness in the event of power loss.

Emergency Coordination:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for coordinating with local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical responders when incidents escalate beyond verbal resolution, require physical intervention, or involve medical emergencies.
• Emergency Action Plan (EAP) Coordinator:
  Serve as the designated on-site incident…
