Safety Advisor Engineer – Professional Engineer (P.E.)
Remote with 30–50% travel across North America

 

For this role you can live in any number of states as long as the company has a facility there, including West Virginia, Georgia, Washington, Louisiana, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan, Oregon, Alabama and Oklahoma.

 

We have a client looking for a senior-level safety engineer who’s ready to step into a role with real technical depth and influence. In this position, you won’t just be ticking compliance boxes—you’ll be the trusted advisor who plant leaders call when they hit a safety challenge nobody else can solve.

 

What You’ll Do

Act as a subject matter expert (SME) in at least one key area—fall protection, machine guarding, lockout/tagout, robotics & automation safety, electrical safety, or structural design—with opportunities to expand into others. Provide engineering reviews and technical guidance on new projects, ensuring safety is built in from the very beginning. Evaluate and sign off on designs for structural and fall protection systems, including catwalks, engineered fall systems, and facility safety upgrades. Support capital projects by reviewing equipment modifications, automation safety, and vendor solutions. Serve as the technical advisor on-call for plant managers, safety managers, and engineers across multiple facilities. Travel 30–50% to facilities across North America to provide direct support, conduct reviews, and collaborate with operations teams.

 

What You Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Structural, Civil, or related field. Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license required. Certified Safety Professional (CSP) preferred. 5+ years of industrial or manufacturing experience. Strong technical background with proven expertise in at least one of the following: fall protection, structural safety, robotics/automation, machine guarding, or lockout/tagout. Ability to review, advise, and communicate complex technical issues clearly across engineering and operations.

 

Why This Role Stands Out

Senior visibility—you’ll be the technical advisor trusted by plant leadership across the U.S. and Canada. High impact—your engineering expertise will directly shape safer designs and reduce risk company-wide. Competitive package—$150–170K base + 20% annual bonus (with 2x stretch potential). Flexibility—remote-based, with meaningful travel to facilities where your expertise is needed most.
