• Evaluate engineering controls, work practices, PPE, and facility conditions to identify potential employee-exposure risks and recommend practical improvements.
• Partner with operations, maintenance, engineering, and technical stakeholders to evaluate processes, equipment, and workplace conditions.
• Support hygiene and containment considerations during equipment installations, process changes, facility improvements, and other site projects.
• Provide technical guidance on ergonomics, task design, material handling, and workplace-layout considerations.
• Contribute to risk assessments, incident investigations, equipment reviews, audit responses, and corrective-action activities involving worker-health or exposure concerns.
• Serve as a technical resource to site leadership, operations, safety representatives, and cross-functional teams.
• Deliver clear training and guidance on occupational hygiene practices, exposure controls, and safe work requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health and Safety, Environmental Health, or a related technical discipline.
• CIH, CRSP, or a comparable professional designation is an asset.
• At least 5 years of experience in occupational hygiene, EHS, manufacturing safety, or a related technical field.
• Strong communication and training skills, with the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both frontline personnel and leadership.
• Highly organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced operational environment.
