Job Title: Safety Manager

Job Description

This Safety Manager role leads site-wide environmental, health, and safety programs within a growing medical manufacturing facility. As a member of the Site Leadership Team, you will drive a proactive safety culture, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce risk as the site expands operations and output.

Responsibilities

• Lead site-wide safety management and serve as the primary owner of the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) program for the manufacturing facility.
• Participate as a key member of the Site Leadership Team and provide strategic guidance on safety, risk reduction, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop, implement, and maintain safety programs aligned with OSHA regulations and other applicable standards.
• Drive a proactive safety culture focused on hazard identification, risk reduction, and behavior-based safety rather than reactive incident response.
• Maintain a strong, visible presence on the manufacturing floor and actively engage operators, supervisors, and leaders in daily safety practices.
• Conduct incident investigations and perform detailed root cause analysis (RCA) to identify corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead risk mitigation activities, including job safety analyses (JSA), machine safety assessments, and contractor safety oversight.
• Implement and monitor OSHA compliance programs, including training, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with operations teams across multiple shifts to ensure consistent safety practices as the facility scales and expands.
• Influence and coach team members at all levels to drive behavioral change and embed safety into daily operations.
• Prepare and maintain safety metrics, reports, and documentation to support leadership decision-making and regulatory readiness.
• Support safety culture development initiatives, including behavior-based safety programs, safety observations, and recognition efforts.
• Operate independently without direct reports while effectively coordinating and influencing cross-functional teams.
• Support safe operations within cleanroom and controlled manufacturing environments for antiseptic foam and wound care products.

Essential Skills

• At least 3 years of experience in a Safety Management role within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated ownership of a site-level safety or EHS program, not limited to a support or QA-adjacent function.
• Proven ability to maintain a strong floor presence and effectively engage operators and frontline staff.
• Experience driving a proactive safety mindset focused on hazard identification and prevention.
• Working knowledge of OSHA regulations and their application in a manufacturing setting.
• Hands-on experience with OSHA compliance and safety program implementation.
• Experience in incident investigation and conducting thorough root cause analysis (RCA).
• Competence in risk mitigation activities such as job safety analysis (JSA), machine safety, and contractor safety management.
• Ability to operate independently, without direct reports, while influencing across operations, supervisors, and leadership.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to drive behavioral change on the manufacturing floor.
• Sense of urgency and accountability in addressing safety issues and implementing improvements.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in regulated environments such as medical device, pharmaceutical, or ISO-certified manufacturing.
• Exposure to cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environments.
• Experience supporting multi-shift operations or facilities undergoing significant scaling and expansion.
• Safety-related certifications such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or OSHA credentials.
• Bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required with strong, relevant experience.
• Experience with safety culture development and behavior-based safety programs.
• Experience in antiseptic foam or wound care product manufacturing is a plus.
