Full Job Description

THE POSITION

With supervisor approval, incumbents may be eligible for intermittent remote work; however, they must physically reside within the Sacramento region or have the ability to regularly report to a City of Sacramento physical worksite with little notice.

The Environmental Health and Safety Unit in the Human Resources Department is seeking an Environmental Health & Safety Specialist to support the Recycling and Solid Waste (RSW) division of Public Works. This position will provide workplace safety consultation and hands-on support, including extensive in-person engagement with equipment operators and field staff. The role also requires delivering in-person training on Cal/OSHA workplace safety standards and programs. Strong record-keeping skills, proficiency with incident management and training systems, and clear verbal and written communication are essential for this position.

IDEAL CANDIDATE
