The role leads safety projects from start to finish, conducts ergonomic risk assessments, manages OSHA recordability and workers compensation cases, performs audits and incident investigations, tracks safety data in EHS systems, and builds relationships with frontline employees and supervisors.

Candidates need a bachelor's degree in Safety, Environmental Science, or a related field, 3 to 7 plus years of EHS experience in a manufacturing environment, a strong focus on health and safety over environmental compliance, proven ability to manage projects independently, and working knowledge of workers compensation and OSHA recordkeeping.

This EHS Engineer role is a hands-on, single-facility position focused on project execution, ergonomics, workers compensation, and OSHA recordkeeping with strong daily presence on the production floor.

The EHS Engineer leads safety projects from initiation through completion independently. Typical project categories include ergonomic improvements, pedestrian and mobile equipment safety enhancements, equipment guarding updates, safety training program rollouts, and workers compensation case management initiatives.

This EHS Engineer position is fully onsite in Louisville, KY because the role requires a strong daily presence on the production floor to perform audits, incident investigations, ergonomic assessments, and relationship-building with frontline teams and supervisors.

Candidates must be comfortable working in a union manufacturing environment because this facility operates with a unionized workforce and the EHS Engineer partners daily with frontline employees and supervisors to drive safety culture and project execution.

Experience with EHS management platforms such as Gensuite is considered a plus, along with familiarity with ergonomic assessment tools. The EHS Engineer uses these systems to track incidents, OSHA recordable injuries, audit findings, and safety project data.
