Job DescriptionFacility Safety Program Manager -Own Safety for a High-Impact Industrial Site

Rochester, MA

Be the safety leader that keeps a complex operation running right

You’ll own the safety program for a major industrial facility – strategic, tactical, and hands-on in the field.

This is where regulatory compliance, real-world risk, and front-line operations all collide. You’re the one who makes sure everyone goes home safe.

You won’t just maintain a program; you’ll drive safety culture, elevate practices, and be the trusted voice on what “safe” really means on site.

If you know industrial or power environments and live in OSHA, investigations, and training, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Work On

You’ll be the safety point person for a busy, industrial/power-plant style facility:

Facility-wide safety and health programs
Regulatory and corporate safety compliance
OSHA VPP and related safety initiatives
Contractor and temporary worker safety performance
Accident investigations and root cause analysis
Fire protection systems and inspections
Medical surveillance and industrial hygiene monitoring
Employee training and field safety oversight

You’ll be working within OSHA 1910 and 1926 frameworks, OSHA VPP, and safety practices common to power plants, waste-to-energy, industrial, and manufacturing environments.

This is a true “boots-in-the-field” safety leadership role, not a desk job.

What You'll Be Doing

Monitoring regulatory compliance and adherence to corporate safety program requirements
Leading OSHA VPP efforts and other safety program initiatives
Implementing, motivating, educating, and enforcing safety and health policies
Overseeing contractor and temp safety and health performance with facility management
Ensuring contractors/temps are properly trained and using appropriate tools and equipment
Actively monitoring workplace safety in the field through frequent presence
Conducting formal and informal safety inspections, evaluations, and follow-up reporting
Managing accident investigations, root cause analyses, and associated documentation
Coordinating with plant personnel and contractors on fire system inspection, testing, and functionality
Serving as primary contact with the plant’s health clinic
Scheduling annual physical exams, hearing tests, and respirator evaluations
Managing the Medical Surveillance Program, audiological exams, lead exposure surveys, and industrial hygiene monitoring

What We're Looking For

Bachelor’s degree preferred, ideally in safety, health, or a science-related area; or HS diploma/equivalent with 2-5 years Health & Safety experience in industrial, power, or manufacturing environments
Minimum 5 years Occupational Health and Safety experience in a power plant or related industry
Experience with operations and maintenance in industrial, manufacturing, or power plant environments
Working knowledge of OSHA 1910 and 1926
Experience with OSHA VPP or related state safety and health regulations
Background in power plant, waste-to-energy, industrial, or closely related fields
Certified Safety Professional (CSP) preferred
Ability to walk, stand, sit, and climb ladders in an industrial setting
Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
Ability to work from heights, in confined spaces, and qualify to wear a full-face respirator

The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention

You’ve been the go-to safety professional in a power or heavy industrial environment, comfortable moving from the control room to the field to the clinic in a single day. You know how to engage operators, mechanics, and contractors, turn regulations into real-world practices, and lead meaningful investigations that actually change behavior.

Your OSHA 1910/1926 expertise is matched by your familiarity with medical surveillance, IH monitoring, and fire protection systems. You’re energized by OSHA VPP-level programs and can speak both the language of compliance and the language of the plant floor.

OSHA 1910 • OSHA 1926 • OSHA VPP • power plant safety • industrial safety • manufacturing safety • medical surveillance • industrial hygiene monitoring • fire system inspection/testing • accident investigation • root cause analysis • contractor safety

Why This Opportunity?

This is your chance to own the safety program at a single high-impact facility, reporting directly to the Facility Manager and leading at both the policy and field level.

You’ll have direct influence over how safety is lived every day – from contractor performance to accident investigations to medical surveillance and fire systems.

If you want a role where your decisions and presence in the field make a visible, daily difference, this is it.

Important Requirements

Full-time, on-site role in West Wareham, MA.

Monday–Friday schedule with availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays on a non-routine basis as needed to support facility operations.

Must be able to work at heights, in confined spaces, in various weather conditions, lift/carry 50 lbs, and qualify to wear a full-face respirator.

Interested?

If you’re ready to lead safety for a complex industrial operation and keep people safe through real-world, hands-on leadership, let’s talk.
