Environmental Health Specialist II; Edina

Environmental Health Specialist II (City of Edina)

• Lead food establishment inspections with an emphasis on education, compliance, and risk reduction
• Apply professional judgment to evaluate conditions affecting public health
• Collaborate with operators and partners to achieve practical, sustainable solutions
• Support additional Environmental Health programs and cross-functional initiatives
• Contribute to program evaluation and continuous improvement efforts
