Safety Engineer

Safety Manager Opportunity

This isn't just another safety role—it's a chance to own the safety culture at a 700-person consumer products plant where your voice will actually matter. You'll walk into a facility that's hungry for fresh thinking, where the leadership genuinely wants to reduce injury rates and workers' comp costs, and where you'll have the autonomy to build programs that stick. Yes, Lock Haven is a quieter corner of Pennsylvania, but if you're someone who values real impact over a flashy zip code, this could be the move that fast-tracks your career.

You'll lead all health and safety activities for a large, high-speed manufacturing operation. That means you're not just auditing—you're coaching, mentoring, and training people at every level. Your day-to-day will include:

• Developing and executing safety strategies that actually move the needle on injury reduction
• Partnering with production teams to identify hazards before they become incidents
• Driving workers' comp cost reduction through proactive prevention and return-to-work programs
• Conducting root-cause investigations that go beyond paperwork and lead to real change
• Training supervisors and operators so safety becomes second nature, not a checkbox

You'll be the go-to person for everything from machine guarding to ergonomics, and you'll have the support of a company that's invested in safety—not just on paper, but in practice.

You have strong industrial safety experience in a manufacturing environment—ideally consumer products or high-speed production. You can point to a proven track record of reducing injury rates. But just as important, you're personable and outgoing. You know that safety isn't about policing; it's about building relationships and trust. We'll consider someone with 2–3 years of experience if you have outstanding interpersonal skills and the confidence to coach veteran operators.

We'll also consider someone from a smaller plant who's ready to scale up their impact. What we won't compromise on: your ability to connect with people and lead through influence, not authority.

Compensation: $70,000 – $90,000 per year (with some flexibility for the right candidate)
