Description
Your Next Career Move Awaits - Join our Team as an Occupational Health Nurse
At The Waldinger Corporation, occupational health is about more than compliance—it's about ensuring our people receive timely, appropriate care, and feel supported when it matters most. We're seeking an Occupational Health Nurse who brings strong clinical judgment, values autonomy, and is motivated by advocacy for injured and ill employees.
If you're an acute-care, clinic, or emergency department nurse who loves using clinical judgment but is ready for a role with more balance, autonomy, and long-term impact, this may be the career move you've been looking for.
This role is part of the Safety Department, working closely with safety leadership and field teams across the organization.
What You'll Do
- Manage work-related injury and illness cases, ensuring employees receive the right care at the right time
- Advocate for injured and ill employees, balancing medical appropriateness, regulatory requirements, and a positive employee experience
- Partner with Regional Safety Managers on OSHA compliance, exposure evaluation, and medical surveillance needs
- Triage and assess employee health concerns, applying your clinical judgment to determine appropriate next steps
- Educate employees on diagnoses, care plans, return-to-work expectations, and recovery—so they actually understand and follow through
- Analyze injury and illness trends to identify leading indicators and opportunities for prevention
- Support and strengthen a culture of care, credibility, and trust across field and office teams
Why This Role Is Different
- High level of autonomy and professional trust—you're empowered to make sound clinical and program decisions
- A program focused on access to care and employee advocacy, not claims management
- No rotating shifts, overnight codes, or holiday staffing stress—a predictable schedule that supports work-life balance
- Time to actually educate, build relationships, and see the long-term impact of your work
- Direct support and mentorship from an established corporate occupational health program
- Skill development through a formal occupational health nurse development program
- Opportunity to influence outcomes across a multi-state organization and make a visible, lasting impact
- You'll often be the only clinical voice in the room
What You Bring
- Active and unrestricted Iowa RN license with minimum 2 years of experience in occupational health, hospital setting, or ambulatory care
- Strong clinical judgment and comfort navigating regulatory and organizational complexity
- Assessment, triage, and patient education skills from acute care, clinic, ED, or urgent care settings
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with safety and operations partners
- Strong communication skills and a passion for relationship-based, patient-centered care
- Willingness to travel occasionally to support field teams
What We Offer
- Paid holidays and paid vacation
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k with company match and profit-sharing
- Health club reimbursement and wellness plan with lifestyle spending account
- Term, AD&D, and Dependent Life insurances
- Prepaid Legal
- Tuition reimbursement
- Continuing education and advancement opportunities
- Growth potential with a stable, established company
