About the Role

We are seeking a Corporate Safety Program Manager to support enterprise-wide EHS initiatives during a temporary leave coverage. This role operates at the corporate/parent-company level, focusing on standardizing, refining, and coordinating safety programs across multiple manufacturing and industrial sites.

 

This is an in-office, program-driven role ideal for a safety professional who excels in policy development, compliance, training, and cross-functional coordination, rather than hands-on site execution. All programs are developed collaboratively and implemented through a formal approval process.

 

What You’ll Do
  • Develop, revise, and standardize corporate safety policies and procedures for enterprise-wide use
  • Rework and complete partially developed safety programs to align with regulatory and operational requirements
  • Manage a corporate safety and communications calendar, delivering content across business units
  • Build and support a company-wide ergonomics program in partnership with third-party providers and internal medical teams
  • Analyze safety performance data, audit results, and trends to identify risks and improvement opportunities
  • Support and participate in internal EHS audits and inspections
  • Develop and coordinate safety training programs for employees, contractors, and onsite partners
  • Monitor regulatory changes (OSHA, EPA, etc.) and industry best practices to support program alignment
  • Collaborate with leadership, operations, HR, legal, and risk management teams
  • Assist with coordination of programs such as machine guarding, combustible dust, and industrial hygiene

 

Who This Role Is Best For

This role is well suited for corporate EHS professionals who:
  • Enjoy program ownership and documentation
  • Are comfortable working through approvals rather than making site-level decisions
  • Prefer policy, training, and standards over day-to-day site enforcement
  • Thrive in structured, multi-site environments

 

MUST – HAVE Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Health, Manufacturing, Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in occupational health and safety within industrial or manufacturing environments
  • Proven experience developing, revising, and implementing safety programs
  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA and EPA regulations
  • Excellent written communication skills (policies, procedures, training materials)
  • Strong organizational and project management skills
  • Comfortable working in a corporate, approval-driven environment
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and safety data systems

 

NICE-to-HAVE Qualifications
  • Safety Engineering background or coursework
  • Experience supporting multi-site or enterprise-level EHS programs
  • Prior exposure to ergonomics programs, industrial hygiene, or machine guarding initiatives
  • Experience partnering with third-party vendors or medical providers
  • Corporate audit or internal compliance program experience
