THE ROLE

We are seeking a collaborative and proactive Safety Manager to lead compliance, safety, and risk management at our E-commerce Fulfillment Center in Hanover Township, PA. This leader will drive regulatory compliance, employee engagement, and cultural transformation by strengthening partnerships, overseeing the Safety Committee program, and embedding proactive safety ownership throughout the site. The Safety Manager is accountable for building, maintaining, and continuously improving safety programs, procedures, and standards that protect Thrivers, ensure compliance, and sustain a culture of proactive ownership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own and lead all safety and compliance programs within the FC, ensuring full adherence to OSHA, FDA, USDA, Non-GMO/Organic, and all applicable regulatory requirements.
• Translate compliance into execution by building, simplifying, and continuously improving SOPs and training so they are clear, practical, and actionable for hourly teams.
• Drive safety execution on the FC floor by partnering with shift operators to enforce standards, strengthen accountability, and continuously improve safety processes and procedures.
• Maintain a strong, consistent floor presence — spending significant time in operations leading Gemba walks, real-time coaching, and behavioral safety observations.
• Coach leaders and Thrivers in the moment to reinforce safe behaviors, close gaps immediately, and build ownership at all levels.
• Lead and evolve the Safety Committee program to ensure active engagement, cross-shift representation, and consistent follow-through on actions.
• Drive accountability through visibility, influence, and recognition — not just audits—ensuring corrective actions are owned, executed, and sustained.
• Conduct audits and inspections to verify compliance with procedures, training, certifications, and regulatory standards, while using findings to improve real-world execution.
• Lead incident investigations end-to-end, including root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventative actions that eliminate repeat issues.
• Coordinate emergency preparedness efforts, including drills, safety stand-downs, and refresher training to ensure readiness across all shifts.
• Continuously improve SOPs and training content based on audit findings, incident learnings, and operational feedback to keep safety relevant and effective.
• Build a proactive safety culture by recognizing positive behaviors, reinforcing “No Broken Windows” standards, and making safety visible and real in daily operations.
• Track and analyze safety performance metrics (TRIR, near-miss closure, audit results, corrective actions, training completion, SOP adoption) to identify trends and drive improvements.
• Provide clear, actionable insights to FC leadership through reporting that connects data to behaviors, risks, and operational outcomes.
• Partner cross-functionally to embed safety into daily workflows, ensuring safety is integrated into how work gets done—not treated as a separate function.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, Industrial Hygiene, or a closely related field; equivalent professional experience will be considered.
• OSHA 30 certification (or ability to obtain within 1 month).
• 5–7 years of progressive safety experience in distribution, fulfillment, food, or manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated success leading Safety Committee programs or equivalent employee led safety initiatives.

• Strong leadership, facilitation, and communication skills with the ability to engage both hourly employees and senior leaders.
• Experience working directly with FDA, USDA, and other food-related regulatory agencies (preferred).
• Knowledge of organic and Non-GMO compliance standards (preferred).
• Must reside or be willing to relocate within a 45-minute drive of Hanover Township, PA to ensure site coverage and responsiveness.
• Regularly engaged on the FC floor; ability to be on your feet for extended periods.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Work across ambient, refrigerated, and frozen temperature-controlled zones.
