  • Professional certification (CIH – Certified Industrial Hygienist) preferred or in progress.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Work Environment:

  • Combination of office, laboratory, and manufacturing floor settings.
  • May require use of PPE, including respirators, protective clothing, and hearing protection.
  • Occasional travel to manufacturing sites or partner facilities.

Key Competencies:
