We deliver high-performance pumps, fluid management systems, and aftermarket solutions for the world’s most demanding, mission-critical industrial applications. We have an exciting opportunity for an EHS Leader supporting our IRP/MP/OB business based in Alsip, IL. In this role, the Safety Leader ensures compliance with regulations and policies, provides leadership and guidance on EHS programs, and conducts audits to ensure company and regulatory standards are met.

We are seeking a hands‑on Safety Leader who partners closely with operations to embed safety into daily work and address issues independently.

• Leads incident and near miss reporting. Perform root cause analysis on incidents and injuries.
• Oversees workers' compensation program administration, including working with all parties to manage and support transitional/accommodated duty and return to work programs.
• Builds an efficient management of change program and evaluate non‑standard tasks to uncover risks and identify corrective actions.
• Builds and manages a contractor management and visitor security/safety program.
• Ensures machine safety by upgrading and assessing equipment safety in addition to participating in the ergonomic evaluation for the site.
