Job Summary
The College of Engineering is seeking a Safety Manager. This is a full-time (1.00 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty position.
The College of Engineering (CoE) at Oregon State University (OSU) occupies over 400,000 square feet that spread across the main campus and some off-campus locations, with a primary presence within the ‘Engineering Triangle’ – a grouping of buildings located on the North-East corner of OSU’s main campus. These buildings house much of the infrastructure that supports the activities needed for our faculty, staff, and students to successfully deliver and execute the College’s vision, mission, and strategic goals.
As a member of the College of Engineering (CoE) Operations team, the Safety Manager reports to the Director of Facilities. The Safety Manager is broadly responsible for developing, supporting, managing, and promoting comprehensive multidisciplinary laboratory, shop, and field research safety programs necessary to maintain a safe and healthy environment for faculty, staff, students and visitors in CoE. The Safety Manager will be a member of the larger CoE central operations team, and will report to the CoE Director of Facilities, while working closely with the College of Engineering Safety Advisory Committee, School Heads, Center Directors, faculty and other College administrative team members. This position will be the primary CoE liaison to the OSU Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) department within the Division of Finance and Administration, as well as other campus/state officials and organizationally have a dashed-line report to the Executive Director of EH&S.
The CoE environment and community spans diverse spaces requiring broad based health and safety needs for research laboratories, instructional laboratories, machine shops, field research, offices and public areas. Specific research safety areas can include chemical, biological, electrical (including high voltage), cryogenic, laser, and radiation. Safety needs also extend to student organizations and the portion of CoE research and field work that take place off campus. The position incumbent will need to develop collaborations as needed to enhance the safety culture of these operations. This may include entities such as the radiation safety committee, institutional biosafety committee, chemical safety committee, university health and safety committee, risk management services, and others.
Active support and advancement of University and College diversity, community, equity, and inclusivity are fundamentally embedded into all the Safety Manager’s activities, both as a responsibility and expectation.
