📍 Manufacturing | Medical Devices

💼 Direct Hire | 💰 Up to $120,000 Base

We are seeking an experienced Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Engineer to support a regulated medical device contract manufacturing environment. This role will serve as the site’s primary EHS leader, with a strong focus on plant-floor safety, regulatory compliance, and safety culture.

  • Investigate incidents and near misses, implement corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement
  • Administer OSHA logs, workers’ compensation, and return-to-work programs
  • Serve as an internal consultant on ergonomics, industrial hygiene, hazardous materials, and chemical safety

What We’re Looking For

  • EHS experience within a manufacturing environment (regulated manufacturing strongly preferred)
  • Hands-on, practical safety leadership on the shop floor
  • Strong knowledge of OSHA and workplace safety standards
  • Experience supporting compliance in a structured, growing organization

Why Consider This Role
