Job Description
Health & Safety Specialist
Job Title: Environmental Health and Safety Specialist (Contract)
Are you a manufacturing Health & Safety professional seeking a hands‑on role where your work is visible, meaningful, and directly supports regulated operations?
We're seeking a Contract Health & Safety Specialist to support a well‑established FDA‑regulated
manufacturing facility producing animal health and pharmaceutical products. This role works closely with the site's Health & Safety Manager and
provides day‑to‑day support during a high‑activity period. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being on the floor, partnering with operations, and gaining deeper exposure to regulated manufacturing environments-without being
buried in bureaucracy.
Why This Role Is Worth a Look
+ High visibility, hands‑on role in a two‑person EHS team
+ Direct exposure to FDA‑regulated manufacturing
+ Work closely with site leadership and operations teams
+ Opportunity to strengthen your EHS resume in a highly regulated environment
+ Potential for the role to grow beyond the initial contract
What You'll Be Doing
+ Support facility health and safety compliance initiatives
+ Assist with EHS documentation, inspections, and standard operating procedures
+ Help maintain compliance in a regulated manufacturing environment
+ Partner with operations and leadership on safety improvements
+ Provide day‑to‑day safety support for a two‑shift manufacturing operation
This role is ideal for someone who prefers doing the work rather than just managing programs from behind a desk.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
+ 3- 5+ years of experience in Health & Safety
+ Manufacturing environment experience (required)
+ Bachelor's degree
+ Experience working in regulated manufacturing (FDA, pharmaceutical, medical device, food, etc.)
Nice to Have
+ FDA experience
+ Environmental compliance experience
If you're a dependable, detail‑oriented safety professional seeking meaningful responsibility, real exposure, and the
opportunity to make an impact in a regulated manufacturing environment, this role is worth exploring.
