Field Supervisor - Industrial Hygiene
About The Position
This role is designed for an experienced industrial hygienist who has outgrown a technician role but prefers hands-on field work over a desk job. As a Field Supervisor, you will step up in title, pay, and influence without taking on management responsibilities like budgets or headcount planning. Your primary focus will be on-site problem-solving, coaching, providing feedback, conducting quality reviews, and serving as the technical expert for the team and clients. Titan Environmental Solutions, a collaborative environmental consulting firm in Southern California, offers this role to provide experienced technicians and industrial hygienists with a clear path to respected field leadership positions without forcing them into pure management tracks. The position emphasizes variety, flexibility, and the rewarding aspects of leadership through coaching and mentorship, allowing for continued technical growth towards certifications like CIH.
