Process Safety Specialist

Our recruiting firm is partnering with a client to hire a Process Safety Management (PSM) Specialist. This position can be based in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, or Eastern Michigan and is less customer-facing and more technical, so it's ideal for someone who enjoys detailed, independent work while supporting compliance in industrial refrigeration and chemical processes.

What You’ll Do

• Read and interpret piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
• Draft and review standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Support PSM elements such as PHAs, MOCs, mechanical integrity inspections, and incident investigations
• Conduct internal audits and ensure compliance with OSHA 1910.119 and EPA RMP standards
• Provide clear SOPs and guidance for employees with less technical backgrounds
• Perform plant walk-throughs when needed, including climbing ladders for inspections
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• Mechanical aptitude with ability to understand refrigeration systems and blueprints
• Experience in occupational safety, process safety, or as a service technician with interest in compliance
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and independent work style
• Ability to draft clear technical documentation
• Education in engineering technology, process safety, or equivalent hands-on experience (degree not required)
• RETA, OSHA 10/30, or similar certifications are a plus
  
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• $50,000–$85,000 based on experience
• Work-life balance compared to service technician roles
• Collaborative culture with training and career growth opportunities
• Company vehicle may be provided depending on travel needs
