  • Ergonomics certifications preferred (e.g., CPE, CCPE, CEES, COES, REPA, or equivalent)

  • Additional credentials such as ATC, R.Kin/C.Kin, PTA, OTA, or experience in workplace wellness or return-to-work support also considered

Experience:

  • Minimum 2 years in a workplace ergonomics, human movement, or occupational health setting

  • Experience with physical job demands analysis and ergonomic data collection

  • Strong understanding of musculoskeletal injury risks and prevention strategies

  • Familiarity with manufacturing, warehouse, or industrial settings is a plus

Skills & Traits:

  • Strong interpersonal communication and coaching skills

  • Proactive problem-solver with ability to work independently

  • Attention to detail in documentation and reporting

  • Comfortable using digital tools (MS Office, ergonomic assessment software, etc.)

  • Must carry or be willing to obtain professional liability insurance

  • Must pass background screening and adhere to client site requirements

Ready to Apply?

Join a mission-driven team committed to creating healthier, safer workplaces. If you’re passionate about preventing injuries through proactive ergonomic solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
