What's in It for You

Important impact
We have had a company-wide lean initiative underway for several years and we're committed to driving ongoing improvements in processes and culture. We're just focusing on the Holmesville plant, and we believe that we can turn it into a model facility. For example, we are planning to do significant re-tooling over the next 18 months. The initiative is highly visible in the company, and your successes will be recognized.

Professional development
In this role you will share insights with corporate EH&S professionals and get ideas from other facilities. You'll also partner with peer managers in different functional areas in Holmesville. Over the longer term, success in this position could set you up to advance within the EH&S organization in our company, or you might pursue opportunities in other areas.

Our people are our most valuable resource
If you're looking for a place where you can make a home, be challenged and grow your career, you've found it! We run collaborative teams, respect individual and team contributions and we know people enjoy working here, as demonstrated by employee longevity.

Great place to live and work
If you’re not already familiar with Holmesville, it is a close-knit community with a small-town feel, but you’ll also enjoy all of the amenities of city life nearby. For example, Wooster is just a 20-minute drive, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants and shopping. Venture a little farther and you’ll find we are close to Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Columbus, and the Great Lakes! Relocation assistance may be available to highly qualified candidates.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary we offer a comprehensive benefits package including all you'd expect, such as a range of insurances, PTO, and a 401(k) with company match.

Keys to Success

Initially, there will be plenty to do -- implementing processes, training, etc. -- and you should be able to make an impact in short order. That also means there will be a fair amount of paperwork and documentation. However, over time we expect the paperwork aspect to "normalize," allowing you to focus on continuous improvement and benchmarking.

Your technical knowledge of safety will be essential, but just as important will be leadership and interpersonal skills. You will be a change agent and, while you'll find people open to positive change, there always are challenges. You will need to help people understand how changes will benefit them, and motivate them to embrace new processes. You'll also help ensure that safety is deeply embedded in our culture.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Safety Manager, you will:
  • Think strategically and execute at a hands-on, tactical level.
  • Bring strong relationship-building skills and the ability to establish credibility.
  • Spend a fair amount of time out on the floor, interacting with people in all areas of the plant.
  • Remain flexible and able to manage multiple activities and priorities.
  • Work independently and meet goals autonomously, while also contributing as a team player.
