This is a role for someone who wants to do more than answer phones. You will lead safety for our shop and support the front office, splitting your time between the two in a way that keeps every day a little different.
As our Safety Lead, you own the programs that keep people whole at the end of every shift: OSHA compliance, training, walkthroughs, LOTO, PPE, machine guarding, SHARP. You run the Safety Committee. New hires - including temps - learn how we work safely from you. On the office side, you handle the kind of everyday operations that keep a small manufacturer running smoothly: visitors, phones, mail, documentation, and some order entry and invoicing support.
