PDS Tech Commercial is partnering with an industry leader in HVAC Manufacturing to hire an experienced EH&S Specialist for a critical second-shift position. This is more than a safety role—it's an opportunity to serve as the trusted Environmental Health & Safety professional and sole emergency medical responder, protecting employees and ensuring operational excellence when independent judgment matters most.

If you're a confident decision-maker who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and is passionate about workplace safety, employee well-being, and continuous improvement, we want to hear from you.

Make an Impact Every Shift

As the sole EH&S presence during second shift, you'll be entrusted with safeguarding employees, maintaining compliance, and responding to workplace incidents with professionalism and confidence.

What You'll Do

• Monitor production activities through continuous observation to verify compliance with safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.

• Identify unsafe equipment, conditions, or work practices and immediately exercise delegated stop-work authority when necessary to protect employees.

• Coach team members on safe work practices in real-time while fostering a culture of accountability and safety awareness.

• Conduct routine inspections of equipment, emergency systems, workplace conditions, and safety controls, maintaining audit-ready documentation.

• Complete safety documentation, records management, and procedure development during off-shift hours for daytime review and implementation.

• Partner with second-shift employees to identify hazards, concerns, and opportunities for continuous improvement that may not be visible during daytime operations.

Provide Occupational Health & Emergency Medical Response

• Serve as the site's sole trained emergency medical responder during second shift.

• Independently assess workplace injuries and illnesses, administer treatment within your certified scope of practice, and determine when emergency medical services or transportation are required.

• Maintain readiness of first aid supplies, emergency response equipment, and medical resources across the facility.

• Track occupational health surveillance requirements for second-shift employees and coordinate required evaluations with daytime providers.

• Identify workplace exposures and health risks unique to off-shift operations and communicate findings for corrective action.

Investigate Incidents & Support Continuous Improvement

• Respond to workplace incidents while balancing employee care with objective incident investigation.

• Secure incident scenes, document evidence, photograph conditions, and gather witness statements before shift end.

• Prepare comprehensive investigation packages for the client's EH&S leadership team to support regulatory reporting and corrective action planning.

• Maintain detailed written shift reports every shift—including those without incidents—to ensure complete visibility into second-shift operations.

• Exercise sound judgment by resolving issues independently while escalating matters requiring management authorization or additional resources.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent education and experience.

• Minimum of 3 years of Environmental Health & Safety experience, preferably within a manufacturing environment.

• Current certification authorizing independent emergency medical assessment and treatment in an occupational setting, consistent with applicable state licensure and assigned responsibilities.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently for an entire shift while making sound safety and medical decisions without on-site supervision.

• Strong written communication skills with experience preparing det
