Safety Coordinator

This is a gem of a company - a true entrepreneurial story...from $10,000 and a garage in 1980 to a $3B worldwide manufacturer today. This company continues its growth today, via acquisition and joint-venture. This plant is someone unique in terms of this company's Midwest facilities - their processes are a little more chemical in nature, not as mechanical as many of the other sites are.

This person will report to the plant manager and will own site safety for this facility. There is a site safety structure in place but they recently had a retirement of someone who had been at this site for 40 years and with that person went a lot of institutional knowledge. In addition to that, corporate has been rolling out some new procedures and forms around safety and so this person will be looking at the site safety program, comparing that to some of the corporate programming and then reconciling and discrepancies and or conflicts between the two.

In summary, this role will be taking a look at the programming, making adjustments and then serving as the site safety champion. Unit operations at the site include: spray drying, distillation, liquid/solid mixing and fluidized bed coating.

• Degree is preferred, non-degree is possible with the requisite experience
• Looking for someone who is familiar with OSHA manufacturing safety regulations and standards; the ideal candidate would also have some familiarity with PSM (process safety management) but that is not a requirement.
• Must be coming out of manufacturing - ideally foods, chemicals, agricultural products, etc.
• Looking for someone who has a demonstrated track record of being able to get people's buy-in on changes
