Senior Safety Manager – Industrial Operations
Ellerbrock-Norris, Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
Senior Safety Manager – Industrial Operations
Employment Type: Full-Time
Base Pay Range: $95,000.00/yr - $115,000.00/yr
The Opportunity This is a high-impact safety leadership role for an industrial facility that needs more than oversight. We’re looking for a Safety Manager who can personally build, implement, and maintain safety programs—not just monitor what already exists.
This role is best suited for a mid- to senior-level safety professional who is comfortable operating independently, partnering closely with operations, and setting the standard for how safety shows up on the floor every day.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Building, implementing, and sustaining facility-wide safety programs
Leading full facility safety audits and ensuring corrective actions are completed and embedded
Conducting incident investigations and supporting OSHA citation abatement when necessary
Delivering hands‑on safety training for both leadership and front‑line team members
Serving as a key point of contact during OSHA inspections or compliance activity
Communicating effectively with plant leadership and hourly employees to drive adoption and accountability
Required Experience & Qualifications
3–5+ years of safety management experience in a general industry environment
(Manufacturing, recycling, or heavy industrial experience strongly preferred)
Demonstrated experience writing and implementing safety programs, including:
Permit Required Confined Spaces (PRCS)
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) programs
Respiratory Protection
Hands‑on experience conducting:
Full facility safety audits
Incident investigations
Safety training (LOTO, PRCS, PIT, fall protection, etc.)
Ability to work directly with OSHA compliance officers when required
Experience leading or supporting OSHA citation abatement
Strong communication skills across leadership teams and floor-level employees
Preferred
Safety certifications such as CHST, OHST, STS, or advanced credentials (ASP, CSP, SMP)
5–7+ years of experience in manufacturing or recycling environments
Written safety manuals and policies
SOPs
Equipment‑specific LOTO procedures
Experience managing workers’ compensation and return‑to‑work programs
Exposure to ISO standards, continuous improvement, or lean manufacturing
Strong leadership presence with the confidence to own the safety program end‑to‑end
Why This Role This is not a maintenance role—it’s a build‑and‑lead opportunity. You’ll be trusted to create structure, improve systems, and influence how safety operates across the facility. If you take pride in building programs that actually work—and holding the line when it matters—this role will give you the runway to do it right.
