Role Overview :
This role provides overarching occupational health and safety expertise to one of Apex's most valued national clients. Apex has worked hand-in-hand with this client to help them achieve their occupational health and safety, ergonomic, and safety engineering goals.
This role will be a full-time, hybrid position with 50-75% travel performing site visits to new and remodeled buildings. The expected duration is March through December with the possibility of extension if there is a need and available budget.
The safety specialist will implement employee health and safety regulations, policy, and procedure for emerging and redesigned facilities and support management of the client's health and safety programs. The safety specialist will be highly knowledgeable of applicable federal and state occupational safety and health regulatory requirements.
The role will routinely involve a blend of :
1) Planning and coordination with building designers, construction teams, and launch teams to review site and equipment designs and ensure company and regulatory safety requirements are met,
2) Travel to sites at key milestones to inspect progress via checklists and client company processes, and
3) Communicating with stakeholders in design, construction, operations, and the client EHS community to maintain safety compliance.
While the prominent technical expertise associated with this position is occupational health and safety, general knowledge of design and construction will be highly valuable. The right candidate will be a savvy communicator able to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders. Perhaps most importantly, the candidate will be an energetic self-starter with the ability to work both independently and as a team to produce results.
As a disclaimer, this role is subject to termination at any time due to potential client financial and / or budgetary restrictions. In turn, the role is also subject to extension.
