- Coordinate required employee training and maintain accurate records.
- Communicate significant employee relations or workplace concerns to appropriate leadership.
- Promote professional, respectful communication and positive employee relations throughout the facility.

You should be someone who enjoys being on the production floor, interacting with employees, solving problems, and identifying opportunities to improve workplace safety and operations.

Occasional overtime, evening, weekend, or holiday work may be required based on operational needs. Work hours may occasionally vary to support accident investigations, training, emergency response, regulatory inspections, or other operational needs.
Professional Expectations
We are looking for someone who will take ownership of the position rather than simply check compliance boxes.
The successful candidate should lead by example, build trust with employees and supervisors, follow through on responsibilities, recognize potential problems early, and work toward practical long-term solutions.
Safety and Human Resources are critical to protecting employees and supporting successful operations. The right candidate will genuinely care about employee well-being while understanding the importance of accountability, compliance, confidentiality, and operational performance.
