• Help prepare and deliver toolbox talks, project‑specific safety messaging, and visuals
• Support environmental inspections and waste tracking
• Assist with compliance documentation, permits, and records
• Help collect data for site SHE KPIs, trends, and reporting
• Support SHE‑related improvement initiatives tied to:
  • Construction and equipment installations
  • Contractor safety
  • Incident reduction
  • Machine guarding
  • Environmental footprint reduction
• Complete one defined capstone project, preferably tied to a construction or capital improvement effort, with a final presentation to site leadership
• Maintain SHE records, action logs, and inspection documentation
• Support audit and inspection preparation (internal and external)
• Assist with training records and compliance tracking

  • Safety Engineering
  • Occupational Safety & Health
  • Environmental Science
  • Industrial / Mechanical / Civil Engineering
  • Related technical discipline
• Strong interest in manufacturing and project safety
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Ability to work in an industrial manufacturing environment

• Exposure to allergens such as dairy, eggs, tree nuts, coconut, peanuts, wheat (gluten), soybean, and cinnamon may occur in certain areas of the facility.

What you'll get

• Understanding of OSHA and company construction safety requirements
• Experience working directly with Engineering, Maintenance, and Contractors
• Hands‑on participation in risk assessments and permit‑controlled work
• Insight into how SHE integrates into capital planning and project execution
