    • Investigate accidents and support implementation of corrective actions
    • Conduct plant safety audits and recommend process improvements
    • Review new equipment and machinery for safety and compliance standards
    • Monitor environmental conditions (noise, dust, fumes, etc.) and ensure safe exposure levels
    • Support ISO 14001 and quality/environmental management systems
    • Collaborate with Quality to ensure proper in-process inspection methods

    Qualifications / Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent experience
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
    • Experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in automotive or assembly environments
    • Knowledge of ergonomics, safety standards, and OSHA regulations
    • Proficiency with AutoCAD and standard computer applications (Excel, Word, databases)
    • Experience with FMEA, process improvement, and time studies
    • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
    • Ability to work cross-functionally with production, quality, and safety teams

    Recruiter Notes (Internal Use)
