We are currently hiring a Senior Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Specialist to support our site in Warsaw, IN. This is an onsite position and does not require travel. The Warsaw site supports our Cranial and Spinal Technologies and Emerging Technologies. We are redefining spine and cranial surgery through the convergence of data, AI‑driven planning, navigation, imaging, robotics, and implants to reduce surgical variability and deliver personalized care.

Our goal is to set new standards in spine and cranial surgery, so patients can return to fuller, more active lives with confidence.

As a Senior EHS Specialist at the Warsaw, IN location, you will play a key role in designing and implementing site‑wide Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) policies and systems to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations, as well as company strategies and goals. You will be responsible for developing and enforcing EHS procedures requiring in-depth knowledge of OSHA regulations and effectively applying them in a manufacturing environment.

Your emphasis will be on a strong GEMBA approach, monitoring and improving manufacturing operations by regularly visiting shop floors and work areas to observe processes firsthand, engaging operators, and identify root causes of EHS challenges.

This involves conducting risk assessments, utilizing hierarchy of controls, implementing measures for ergonomic injury reduction, and electrical safety. You will independently drive safety projects, working collaboratively to influence change and uphold safety standards across all operations.

A successful candidate will have strong interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate project management execution to achieve world‑class EHS performance. You must be able to work autonomously while effectively collaborating with cross‑functional teams. Building trust and confidence is key, as you will need to influence change and stand your ground on safety matters, ensuring that safety is never compromised. Your ability to communicate clearly and assertively will be vital in fostering a culture of safety and compliance.
