Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Co-op

Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Co-op (or Intern)

At Bracco Medical Technologies, every employee has an impact on our Mission to empower lifesaving decisions. We create medical devices that give healthcare providers the insights they need to confidently and safely diagnose patients. As part of the Bracco Group, Bracco Medical Technologies benefits from the resources of a multinational conglomerate with broad expertise in cath lab and radiology suite technology and a dedication to continuous advancement.

We are currently seeking intern/co-op candidates to learn with us as they engage in a variety of hands-on projects supporting our Health, Safety, Environment & Sustainability (HSES) programs alongside our high-performing and authentic Operations team.

As an Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Co-op (or Intern), you will support the implementation, improvement, and communication of Health, Safety, Environment & Sustainability (HSES) programs within a regulated medical device manufacturing environment. You will report to the Environmental Health, Safety & Facilities Manager and work closely with employees and cross-functional teams across the organization.

You will gain experience applying EHS principles to real-world workplace challenges while supporting Bracco Group HSES initiatives and strengthening a proactive safety culture. Depending on the project, your responsibilities will include:

• EHS Program & Compliance Management: Assist in reviewing and updating core site compliance programs (HazCom, LOTO, PPE, Walking-Working Surfaces) and the Permit to Work process to align with corporate standards and local operations.
• Proactive Hazard Identification & Root-Cause Analysis: Conduct routine site safety walks and support near-miss/incident investigations using structured problem-solving methods (5-Whys, Fishbone) to identify and fix systemic root causes.
• Employee Engagement & Culture Leadership: Co-facilitate Safety Committee activities, develop engaging site communications, and lead initiatives like the annual company-wide Safety Day/Spotlight event to promote a proactive safety culture.
• Emergency Preparedness: Help plan, coordinate, and execute site fire drills and emergency response exercises, documenting key observations for continuous operational improvement.
• Environmental & Sustainability Initiatives: Support site sustainability goals by analyzing metrics and tracking progress on waste reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, and resource conservation projects.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with manufacturing teams, site leadership, external EHS compliance partners, and Bracco's Global HSES team to turn regulatory needs into practical, floor-level solutions.
