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

If you’re detail-oriented, mechanically minded, and ready to build your career in process safety, we’d like to share your background with our client.
