Occu Care Injury Prevention is expanding its presence in the Twin Cities market and is seeking an Injury Prevention Specialist (PT, OT, or ATC) to join our growing team. We are open to either a part-time or full-time arrangement based on the candidate’s qualifications, availability, and interest. The position supports employer sites throughout the Minneapolis–St. Paul area and includes occasional same-day travel to locations outside the metro area.

The anticipated schedule is 2–5 days per week, with the potential for additional on-call opportunities.

This dynamic and rewarding position provides on-site injury prevention, wellness, and ergonomic services for employees at manufacturing, warehousing, and construction companies. Responsibilities include promptly evaluating employees who experience work-related musculoskeletal incidents and providing appropriate early-intervention support to help prevent minor concerns from progressing to conditions that require additional medical treatment.

The specialist will support manufacturing, warehousing, and construction sites throughout the Twin Cities region. Occasional assignments may require travel of up to two hours from the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. A company vehicle will be provided for travel between work locations, and travel time between sites is compensated.
