About The Position

Astro Pak is seeking an Environmental, Health, Safety and Regulatory Field Specialist to support its Field Operations team. The role involves visiting active customer work sites and company facilities to assess safety practices, identify hazards, support investigations, and help field teams improve day-to-day safety. The position is well suited to someone with 1–3 years of relevant experience who can build trust with technicians and operations leaders, communicate concerns clearly, and follow through on corrective actions.

Regional travel is central to the position, with travel up to 80% of the time and work across multiple on-site locations. The specialist works with field teams, operations leaders, customer representatives, company personnel, and regulatory agencies. The position supports safety planning, training, incident investigation, workers’ compensation matters as needed, implementation of EHS requirements, and accurate documentation of assessments and corrective actions. Work environments may periodically be dusty or noisy. Site visits may require extended standing and walking, climbing, balancing, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, or crawling. The position also requires observing work areas and recognizing visual safety indicators, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.
