Occupational EHS Intern

About The Role

We are seeking a driven and curious Occupational EHS Intern to join our Environmental, Health & Safety team. This is a hands‑on, impact‑heavy internship designed for someone who wants to build real programs—not just observe them. You'll split your time between field work (50%) and program development/writing (50%), supporting manufacturing, R&D, and Facilities teams across our Woodland and Davis locations. If you're passionate about safety, enjoy solving problems, and want experience that translates directly into an EHS career, this is the internship where you'll build the skills that matter.

• Build the Safety Manual for any one of our onsite products used in a construction setting, working with production, engineering, and maintenance teams
• Develop in-depth written EHS programs, including Lockout/Tagout, Hazard Communication, Machine Guarding, and other core safety elements
• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Program
• Create LOTO procedures for all equipment across multiple sites
• Perform field verification, equipment identification, and hands‑on data collection

• Develop Industrial Hygiene sampling criteria, strategy, and documentation
• Support noise, air, and chemical exposure assessments
• Ergonomics Program
• Build and implement a full Ergonomics program, including analysis tools, assessment templates, and corrective action planning

• Support development of health‑related policies and initiatives, contributing to the health side of EHS (wellbeing, fitness for duty, etc.)

• Conduct field safety walkthroughs and collect on‑floor data
• Assist with incident reviews and corrective actions
• Participate in cross‑functional meetings with Production, R&D, Facilities, and leadership
• Maintain documentation and EHS metrics through Microsoft Office and Navarro platforms
• Help drive a culture of safety engagement and continuous improvement

• This internship partners closely with Production and Operations teams
• R&D teams
• Facilities & Maintenance
• EHS Leadership
• Occasional interaction with Corporate Leadership

We're committed to building a world‑class safety culture—not because we have to, but because it's the right thing to do. Here, you won't just sit in on meetings. You'll lead meaningful work, shape real programs, and leave with portfolio‑ready projects that make a visible impact on our employees, our operations, and our future.

You’ll gain:

• Real ownership of major EHS programs
• Mentorship from an experienced EHS professional
• Exposure to production, engineering, and leadership teams
• A supportive environment where your ideas matter
• Experience in not only the creation but implementation of projects which includes cross‑level influence and buy‑in sessions
• Experience that directly translates into full‑time EHS roles
• If you’re ready to make a difference, grow your skills, and see the full spectrum of what EHS truly is, this is the place for you

This is an internship position, with a rate of $25‑27 per hour.

What We're Looking For:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Occupational Safety, Public Health, Environmental Science, Industrial Hygiene, Engineering, or a related field

• Strong communication and writing skills
• Comfortable in manufacturing environments and wearing PPE
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
