  • Promote a strong safety culture by aligning policies with Charter’s values and engaging employees at every level

  • Lead audits and develop corrective action plans in collaboration with internal teams and insurance partners

  • Develop your team and champion leadership at every level—setting performance goals, providing coaching, and recognizing success

What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Occupational Safety, Health, or related field (Master’s preferred)

  • 7+ years of progressive safety experience with at least 4 years in a plant leadership role

  • Experience managing safety professionals and leading cross-functional initiatives

  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations, safety auditing , and risk mitigation strategies

  • A collaborative spirit, excellent communication skills, and the ability to influence across functions

  • Experience with workers’ compensation, regulatory interaction, and return-to-work programs

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and the tools needed to manage complex safety data

Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional safety certifications (CSP, ASP, CIH, PE)

  • Background in manufacturing and industrial environments

  • Familiarity with Continuous Improvement, Quality Management Systems, or environmental health

  • EMT or First Responder Certification

Why Charter?

Charter is a values-driven, family-owned company with a long-standing commitment to employee safety, growth, and development. Here, safety isn’t a department—it’s everyone’s job. If you're ready to make a lasting impact and lead with both head and heart, we’d love to meet you.
