Senior Industrial Hygiene Specialist

Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.

The Senior Industrial Hygiene Specialist is responsible for leading the technical execution and continuous improvement of industrial hygiene programs across Standard Nuclear’s manufacturing, laboratory, and controlled work environments. This role serves as a senior subject matter expert for anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling occupational health hazards, with responsibility for complex exposure assessments, sampling strategies, technical interpretation, and implementation of effective controls.

This is a hands‑on role that works closely with operations, engineering, maintenance, EH&S, radiological controls, quality, and management to integrate industrial hygiene requirements into process design, work planning, equipment changes, incident response, and day‑to‑day operations. The Senior Industrial Hygiene Specialist is expected to independently resolve complex health‑risk issues, provide clear technical recommendations to leadership, mentor less experienced personnel, and help build scalable industrial hygiene practices as operations grow.

• Lead the development, implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of industrial hygiene programs addressing chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards.
• Develop and execute qualitative and quantitative exposure assessment strategies, including air sampling, noise monitoring, heat‑stress evaluation, ventilation assessments, and other industrial hygiene surveys.
• Establish sampling plans and exposure profiles based on process conditions, worker activities, hazard potential, and applicable occupational exposure limits.
• Interpret monitoring and sampling results against applicable OSHA requirements and recognized guidance such as ACGIH TLVs and NIOSH RELs, and communicate clear conclusions and recommended actions.
• Maintain accurate, traceable exposure records and technical documentation supporting employee protection, program decisions, audits, and regulatory compliance.

• Partner with engineering, operations, and maintenance to integrate industrial hygiene considerations into new equipment, process changes, facility modifications, and manufacturing scale‑up activities.
• Apply the hierarchy of controls to recommend practical engineering, administrative, work‑practice, and PPE solutions for occupational health hazards.
• Evaluate ventilation, containment, chemical handling, noise‑control, and other exposure‑control systems for effectiveness and suitability.
• Provide senior technical input during job hazard analyses, pre‑job planning, management‑of‑change activities, commissioning, and introduction of new chemicals or processes.
• Provide technical guidance on respiratory protection, hearing conservation, hazard communication, PPE selection, and other industrial hygiene‑related control programs.

• Ensure industrial hygiene activities align with applicable OSHA, EPA, DOE, federal, state, and local requirements and relevant industry standards.
• Serve as a senior industrial hygiene subject matter expert during regulatory inspections, internal audits, customer reviews, and compliance assessments.
• Prepare and review exposure assessments, technical reports, procedures, sampling records, corrective‑action documentation, and other controlled records.
• Lead or support investigations involving occupational exposures, health‑related incidents, or control failures and develop technically sound corrective and preventive actions.
• Identify emerging compliance risks and program gaps and drive actions to maintain audit readiness and effective occupational health controls.

• Develop and deliver training on industrial hygiene topics including chemical safety, respiratory protection, hearing conservation, hazard communication, exposure controls, and safe work practices.
• Provide day‑to‑day technical…
