About The Position

Plant Grow Harvest is looking for a hands-on Safety Specialist to help build and execute PGH’s Safety First system from the ground up. This is a high-impact role for someone who has real workplace safety experience in a manufacturing, warehouse, food processing, agriculture, industrial, or plant operations environment. This is not a desk-only safety role. The Safety Specialist will spend significant time on the floor and in the field, working directly with supervisors and employees to identify risks, improve safe behaviors, strengthen documentation, support compliance, and build a strong safety culture. The ideal candidate is practical, organized, assertive, and comfortable building systems where they do not yet fully exist.

Requirements

2+ years of hands-on workplace safety experience in a manufacturing, warehouse, food processing, agriculture, industrial, logistics, plant, or similar operational environment
Experience conducting safety inspections, audits, incident reporting, or incident investigations
Experience training or coaching employees on safety procedures
Strong attention to detail and documentation skills
Ability to work hands-on in plant, warehouse, and field environments
Strong communication and influence skills

Comfortable working directly with supervisors, employees, and operations teams
Bilingual English/Spanish

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and continuously improve PGH’s EHS systems, including policies, SOPs, documentation, and compliance frameworks.
Own compliance with OSHA, environmental regulations, and SMETA requirements, including OSHA 300 logs, documentation readiness, audit support and corrective actions.
Ensure all incidents are reported immediately, properly documented, investigated for root cause, and followed by corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
Embed a Safety First culture by training employees and supervisors, reinforcing safe behaviors, coaching teams to take ownership of safety, supporting supervisors in identifying and correcting unsafe conditions, and helping employees feel responsible for their own safety and the safety of others.
Track and report key metrics: incident rates, near misses, safety compliance, and environmental metrics.
Conduct safety audits and inspections.
Deliver safety training across shifts.
Support incident and near-miss investigations.
Maintain OSHA and safety documentation.
Support emergency preparedness and drill documentation.
Partner with operations to reduce risk.
Support corrective actions from audits and inspections.
Build practical tools, checklists, SOPs, and tracking systems.
