This position requires flexibility to work standard day shifts and provide coverage for evening and night shifts as operational needs dictate.Major Responsibilities: Exposure monitoring & sampling: Plan and perform routine and task based monitoring for airborne contaminants (e.g., solvents, silica, metals), noise (dosimetry and surveys), heat stress, and other IH stressors. Set up, calibrate, and operate pumps and direct reading instruments; maintain sampling records and chain of custody. Data Interpretation and Monitoring: Data interpretation & reporting. Download, validate, and trend results; compare to occupational exposure limits; draft clear summaries and recommendations that enable field supervisors to act. Respiratory & hearing conservation support: Assist with respirator program activities (e.g., qualitative/quantitative fit testing, cartridge selection guidance) and hearing conservation (e.g., dosimetry, field coaching on controls and PPE). Provide basic toolbox training under direction of the Sr. Industrial Hygienist/ESH Manager. Risk based work planning: Participate in pre task planning, JHAs, and FLHAs to ensure IH hazards/aspects are recognized and controls are captured before work begins; confirm barriers remain effective during execution. Instrument care & quality assurance: Maintain IH equipment inventory; perform routine maintenance, bump checks, calibrations, and VOC (verification of competency) in accordance with procedures; escalate issues and coordinate vendor service as needed.
