About The Position

The Site Safety Coordinator is a visible, approachable, floor-level partner who helps employees and Operations identify exposures, apply approved safety requirements, and verify that safeguards work in practice. Through employee engagement, risk-focused observations, training support, timely reporting, and follow-through, the Coordinator helps integrate safety into daily operations. This developmental role is intended to build technical judgment, influence, and future EHS leadership capability. The Coordinator works with employees, supervisors, plant leaders, EHS leadership, and cross-functional partners to identify and address risks; support incident learning, training, records, and site safety programs; and coordinate claims and return-to-work information as directed. The role may pause work presenting an apparent immediate hazard and facilitate approved routine corrections within delegated authority, while escalating higher-risk issues and respecting established approval and accountability boundaries. The position is based at the Suwanee Plant in Suwanee, Georgia, in a manufacturing environment with industrial equipment and other site-specific exposures. It requires regular floor presence and may involve schedule adjustments to support operational needs, emergencies, coverage, and training across shifts. The Coordinator applies approved company safety systems and applicable local legal requirements, without assuming management or statutory responsibilities assigned to others.
