About The Position

The Site Safety Coordinator (2nd Shift), located at the Winder Plant in Winder, Georgia, is an approachable, floor-level partner who helps employees and Operations recognize exposures, apply approved safety requirements, and verify safeguards in practice. Through employee engagement, risk-focused observations, training support, timely reporting, and follow-through, the Coordinator helps integrate safe work into daily operations and supports a workplace where hazards are raised early and lessons are shared across shifts. This is a developmental role intended to build technical judgment, influence, and future EHS leadership capability. The Coordinator conducts observations and inspections, partners with employees and supervisors on practical risk reduction, supports incident response and learning, and tracks assigned corrective actions. The role also supports approved training, program records, regulatory logs, audits, workplace safety programs, claims and return-to-work coordination, and continuous improvement. The Coordinator works with plant teams, EHS leadership, and cross-functional partners while operating within delegated authority and escalating significant or technical matters to accountable leaders. The role requires meaningful floor presence during assigned hours and consistent safety expectations across shifts. It includes documenting hazards, temporary controls, events, and follow-up commitments for handoffs, and promptly escalating high-risk conditions. The work takes place in a manufacturing environment with industrial equipment, mobile equipment, noise, variable temperatures, dust, and other site-specific exposures. Regular walking and standing, appropriate PPE, and occasional schedule adjustments may be required. Essential functions and reasonable accommodations are determined in accordance with applicable law and company policy.
