Safety Advisor Engineer – Professional Engineer (P.E.)

Remote with 30–50% travel across North America
For this role you can live in any number of states as long as the company has a facility there, including
West Virginia, Georgia, Washington, Louisiana, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan,
Oregon, Alabama and Oklahoma.

We have a client looking for a senior-level safety engineer who’s ready to step into a role with real
technical depth and influence. In this position, you won’t just be ticking compliance boxes—you’ll be the
trusted advisor who plant leaders call when they hit a safety challenge nobody else can solve.

What You’ll Do

 Act as a subject matter expert (SME) in at least one key area—fall protection, machine guarding,
lockout/tagout, robotics & automation safety, electrical safety, or structural design—with
opportunities to expand into others.
 Provide engineering reviews and technical guidance on new projects, ensuring safety is built in
from the very beginning.
 Evaluate and sign off on designs for structural and fall protection systems, including catwalks,
engineered fall systems, and facility safety upgrades.
 Support capital projects by reviewing equipment modifications, automation safety, and vendor
solutions.
 Serve as the technical advisor on-call for plant managers, safety managers, and engineers across
multiple facilities.
 Travel 30–50% to facilities across North America to provide direct support, conduct reviews, and
collaborate with operations teams.

What You Bring

 Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Structural, Civil, or related field.
 Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license required.
 Certified Safety Professional (CSP) preferred.
 5+ years of industrial or manufacturing experience.
 Strong technical background with proven expertise in at least one of the following: fall
protection, structural safety, robotics/automation, machine guarding, or lockout/tagout.
 Ability to review, advise, and communicate complex technical issues clearly across engineering
and operations.

Why This Role Stands Out

 Senior visibility—you’ll be the technical advisor trusted by plant leadership across the U.S. and
Canada.
 High impact—your engineering expertise will directly shape safer designs and reduce risk

company-wide.
 Competitive package—$150–170K base + 20% annual bonus (with 2x stretch potential).
 Flexibility—remote-based, with meaningful travel to facilities where your expertise is needed
most.
