Role Overview:

This industrial hygiene (IH) consultant role will be outsourced full time to one of Apex’s long term valued clients at a facility in St. Louis, MO. Relocation assistance is available.

The consultant will be embedded with the client’s IH team and execute sampling projects, create reports, provide deliverables, and suggest path-forward recommendations. This role will routinely involve working ‘on the shop floor’ with employees, collecting personal samples and sharing/documenting results with client stakeholders and within the client’s IH database. The consultant will be supported by the client IH team and will be involved in ensuring the effective ongoing administration of a variety of IH programs.
