Health and Safety Director, San Francisco

 

8-23-10

 

Needed to direct and drive the organization's overall health and safety activities / programs, and specifically be responsible for all safety issues related to project work with their clientele. This firm has relationships and manages undertakings on some of California’s most complex remedial and engineering related sites with many of the industry's largest clientele. Specifically this includes a number of complex remediation activities at a number of ongoing Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) client sites.

 

Requires an extremely high level of diligence and systems implementation with regards to health and safety in all their dealings.

 

This is a very unique opportunity to take responsibility for the company's health and safety program and build upon or overhaul already existing systems and relationships in an intimate environment. Also, one in which achieving very high standard levels, regardless of task and with resources is not only required, but demanded by executive management and driven by clientele.

 

Ideally, the right individual would have 10-20 years of well established health and safety experience and credentials as a certified industrial hygienist. Responsibilities would include overall responsibility for both the organization's office and field activities.

 

From a basic in-house perspective, this would include complete review, update and expansion of company-wide health and safety plans and policies; preparation / review of all site-specific and project-specific health and safety plans prepared by the organization; conducting health and safety and all other compliance audits; and development and implementation of in-house education and training as necessary.

 

With regards to field activities, what is really crucial is proven experience with health and safety issues with regards to remedial efforts revolving around everything from traditional drilling, sampling and well installation activities to extremely large scale dig and haul, excavation, bioremediation, complex engineering works and trucking activities for projects.

 

What makes these undertakings so challenging is that they often deal with sites that are extremely complex and diverse with often many divergent contaminant zones within small areas.

 

It is not unusual to find 13 different contaminant zones and smaller hot spots in one of their smaller two-acre sites. So a wide variety of chemical hazards and exposures with contaminants ranging from more standard petroleum fuels and hydrocarbons on to extremely volatile chemicals and heavy metals are often needed to be addressed and planned for when doing activities.

 

The firm has four offices here in California and the post would require occasional travel to other offices and projects throughout the state.

However, we see the great preponderance of these responsibilities for field undertakings being here in northern California and within easy one day drives of the east bay area.

 

In addition to a very competitive salary, the organization offers performance and spot bonuses. They also have an extensive benefits package (health / dental / vision, life and AD&D insurance, flexible spending, 125 cafeteria plan, flexible work schedule, retirement plan with match, vacation, etc.) and work hard to structure opportunities that help individuals develop and progress both personally and professionally.

Generally this is what we are looking for in a candidate:

- College student in Ag or with a family background in Ag.  or a student in a Safety or an Ag Safety program. (usually a Junior or Senior)

- Self starters - We will get them trained but like all of our LC field positions we need self starters who can work remotely without someone checking in on them constantly.

- Reliable transportation (We reimburse at the government rate)

 

Here is what we offer/provide:

- $13 per hour

-  All equipment to do the job (Cell phone, computer, printer, internet connections etc...)

-  Reimbursement on vehicle mileage

-  The needed training (paid time during training)

-  Flexibility in work hours.  They can work up to 40 hours a week.  We like to have "some" activity throughout the year and this can go on for more than a summer or winter break.  In fact we prefer that it does go on given the amount of training required to get these interns operating properly.

-  Possibility of full time employment.  We have hired a half dozen into full time positions from these internships.

 

Our program is run through a third party called "Checks and Balances" so the Intern is not officially a Nationwide Ag employee.  We have worked with the schools in the past when a student needs credit for an internship as part of their degree.  We provide the needed documentation.
