Manufacturing Process Engineer 2

Job Description

Job Description

Monday-Friday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Travel Requirements: Sometimes – local, site visits; Maybe quarterly or less.

 

Top 3 must-have hard skills:

1. Risk assessment experience – Ability to lead hazard analyses, evaluate high-consequence risks, identify effective engineering controls, and verify that controls are implemented and sustained.
2. Technical project leadership – Experience managing cross-functional safety or engineering projects from problem definition and prioritization through pilot, implementation, validation, and standardization
3. Technical Fluency and Application – Ability to translate field observations, incident learnings, operational data, and emerging technologies into practical low code risk-reduction solutions (i.e. AI, computer vision, automation, and analytics).

 

 

SUMMARY:

EHS Risk Reduction Project Lead

Onsite: This role is categorized as onsite.

CLIENT is seeking an EHS Risk Reduction Project Lead to help identify high-consequence occupational safety risks early, enable effective controls, and scale proven solutions across facilities, processes, equipment, and emerging technologies.

In this role, you will lead cross-functional projects that translate field insight, operational learning, data, and design-in safety principles into practical engineering solutions. You will work at the intersection of workplace safety, manufacturing and facilities engineering, operations, and technology to reduce risk before exposure occurs.

About the Team:

Advanced Risk Mitigation helps CLIENT’S focus resources on the risks that matter most, where targeted intervention can have the greatest impact on people, operations, and the business.

The team combines risk engineering, design-in safety, field insight, data, and emerging capabilities such as automation, computer vision, and artificial intelligence to develop practical controls and scalable standards.

 

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

•Lead risk-reduction projects from problem definition and prioritization through pilot, implementation, validation, and sustainment.

•Partner with manufacturing, facilities, engineering, site safety, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, skilled trades, suppliers, and other stakeholders to identify and reduce risk.

•Apply design-in safety principles during planning, risk assessment, design review, commissioning, start-up, and final-location verification.

•Facilitate hazard analyses and risk assessments; document hazards, required controls, residual risk, and corrective actions.

•Translate risk findings, field observations, incident learnings, user feedback, and operational data into controls, standard work, specifications, and upstream design improvements.

•Track risks, dependencies, decisions, and corrective actions to closure; escalate unresolved high-risk issues with clear options and recommendations.

•Evaluate emerging capabilities—including AI, computer vision, automation, analytics, wearables, and low-code tools—to improve risk identification, control effectiveness, or decision quality.

•Create concise technical documentation, leadership updates, training materials, and adoption plans that support sustainment.

•Share proven practices across CLIENT’S to improve standards, tools, and risk-reduction methods.

 

Your Skills and Abilities:

•Bachelor’s degree in engineering, occupational safety, industrial hygiene, environmental health, manufacturing, or a related technical discipline; equivalent practical experience may be considered.

•Experience leading projects, continuous-improvement efforts, or technical implementations in safety, engineering, manufacturing, facilities, or operations.

•Ability to convert ambiguous problems into structured plans, priorities, decisions, and implementable outcomes.

•Experience with risk assessments, hazard analyses, design reviews, corrective-action plans, or control verification.

•Strong analytical, written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to explain technical risk to operators, engineers, suppliers, and leadership.

•Willingness to work onsite and visit operating areas, project locations, and suppliers as required.

Risk engineer project lead

 

Business Group: Risk Engineering - 5 team members – this role would be the 6th. Role title: Risk Engineer Project Lead

Purpose of the team: Removes workplace risk from the business by leading the standards that govern how CLIENT’S operates safely in manufacturing and non-manufacturing plants.

Key projects: Launching the use of drones inside manufacturing environments (currently paused; another team member pulled in to help); risk assessments that calculate the likelihood of an injury for specific maintenance, engineering, and manufacturing tasks; and finding technology enablers (drones, AI, vision systems, automation, low-code tools) to make work safer.

Motivator for this need: Backfill – a contractor on the team moved to a different position, so this role opened.

 

Typical task breakdown: Leads risk-reduction projects. Applies the risk assessment process, explores and applies emerging capabilities (AI, vision systems, automation, low-code tools), partners with technical teams to test, implement, and sustain the solution, leads pilots/experiments using evidence, feedback, and user input to decide what to refine or scale, and documents what was learned or the resulting standard. 

Interaction level with team: Partners with different technical teams across the organization; joins a team of 5. 

Work environment: Onsite in Warren, Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–3:00 PM; no overtime or weekends. Site visits roughly quarterly within Southeastern Michigan (Warren to Flint, potentially Factory Zero in Detroit).

Chance for extension: Yes – the previous assignment was extended and there are many opportunities; this is potentially the beginning step for a successful candidate. 

CLIENT’S Contract Worker Shutdown days: Yes – they would not be working in those weeks. Observes all CLIENT’S holidays unless there is a business need.

 

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in engineering or related discipline.
• 2-10 years of experience required.
