What are the responsibilities and job description for the Environmental Health & Safety Intern position at Magnera Corporation?
Overview
Internship Duration: MAY 18th - AUGUST 7th
Magnera's purpose is to better the world with new possibilities made real. For more than 160 years, the originating companies have delivered the material solutions their partners need to thrive. Through economic upheaval, global pandemics and changing end-user needs, they have consistently found ways to solve problems and exceed expectations. By bringing together these legacy companies, the distinct scale and comprehensive portfolio of products will bring customers more materials and choices. With a combined legacy of resilience, Magnera will build personal partnerships that withstand an ever-changing world.
The EHS Intern will support the Americas Region by improving the consistency, clarity, and usability of our near miss and incident reporting process. As we roll out VelocityEHS as our primary reporting tool, the intern will help streamline the reporting workflow, simplify the user experience, and develop materials that make reporting easier for frontline employees and supervisors.
This role fills a capacity gap by giving us dedicated attention on analyzing early VelocityEHS usage, gathering employee feedback, and shaping a reporting process that fits how our sites actually work day to day. Their work will directly support the broader EHS strategy of improving visibility into risk and moving toward a more standardized approach across the company.
