Occupational Safety Program Leader – Industrial Operations

Lead the Safety Journey

Step into a role where your work keeps people safe every day. As the Occupational Safety Program Leader for our industrial operations, you will guide our company-wide safety program, uphold OSHA and applicable standards, and help cultivate a proactive culture where everyone goes home safe.

A day in the life

You start on the floor, visible and engaged—reviewing Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), walking worksites, and connecting with crews. Before lunch, you’ve completed targeted inspections, flagged risks, and aligned with supervisors on corrective actions. In the afternoon, you might facilitate a safety training, support an incident investigation, or update key records. You close the day tracking regulatory changes and partnering with teams to strengthen our emergency preparedness.
