About The Position

Being our industrial hygiene and health technician is like being Robin to Batman, or Lieutenant Clark to Captain Lewis. But instead of fighting crime or blazing trails, you help hunt down hazards and analyze and interpret risks that could cause occupational diseases. If the risks are unacceptable, then you think creatively and come up with solutions to prevent those diseases. One of your main tasks is assisting our board-certified industrial hygienists and ergonomists with exposure evaluations and risk assessments at various customer locations. You interpret data, apply occupational health standards, and analyze the potential danger of chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic stressors. Key to that work is using, maintaining, and calibrating the team’s industrial hygiene and ergonomic equipment. It’s fulfilling work, and you do it in a supportive, collaborative environment. Your teammates are passionate, talented, certified professionals who care deeply about the health and well-being of working Oregonians. You grow professionally as you learn and apply industrial hygiene and ergonomic principles.

Requirements

One to three years’ industrial hygiene/occupational safety and health experience, preferably conducting exposure assessments.
Two or more years of industrial hygiene experience that includes conducting surveys, calibrating and using test equipment, and writing reports.
A bachelor’s degree in industrial hygiene or a related science.
Other combinations of skills and experience may be considered.
