Safety Engineer

Our client is seeking an EHS Risk Reduction Project Lead to help identify high-consequence occupational safety risks early, enable effective controls, and scale proven solutions across facilities, processes, equipment, and emerging technologies.

In this role, you will lead cross-functional projects that translate field insight, operational learning, data, and design-in safety principles into practical engineering solutions. You will work at the intersection of workplace safety, manufacturing and facilities engineering, operations, and technology to reduce risk before exposure occurs.

• Lead risk-reduction projects from problem definition and prioritization through pilot, implementation, validation, and sustainment.
• Partner with manufacturing, facilities, engineering, site safety, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, skilled trades, suppliers, and other stakeholders to identify and reduce risk.
• Apply design-in safety principles during planning, risk assessment, design review, commissioning, start-up, and final-location verification.
• Facilitate hazard analyses and risk assessments; document hazards, required controls, residual risk, and corrective actions.
• Translate risk findings, field observations, incident learnings, user feedback, and operational data into controls, standard work, specifications, and upstream design improvements.
• Track risks, dependencies, decisions, and corrective actions to closure; escalate unresolved high-risk issues with clear options and recommendations.
• Evaluate emerging capabilities—including AI, computer vision, automation, analytics, wearables, and low-code tools—to improve risk identification, control effectiveness, or decision quality.
• Create concise technical documentation, leadership updates, training materials, and adoption plans that support sustainment.
• Share proven practices across the client to improve standards, tools, and risk-reduction methods.
