Safety Supervisor

qualifications (LOTO, forklift, confined space, HazCom, etc.). Lead daily/weekly safety huddles, toolbox talks, and behavior-based safety observations on the floor — not from a desk. Partner with Operations and R&D leadership to make safety a visible part of performance management, including operator incentive structures. Incident response & investigation Lead incident investigations end-to-end: root cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions, closure verification, and learnings shared across sites. Maintain OSHA 300/300A logs, workers' comp coordination, and near-miss reporting systems. Own site emergency response planning, drills, and coordination with local fire and EMS. Scale-up & capital projects Embed safety into engineering and commissioning for new pilot-plant equipment and farm expansions (HAZOP/PHA, management of change, pre-startup safety reviews). Partner with engineering on contractor safety, including onboarding, permits to work, and site access controls. Support transfer of safety standards from pilot to our Texas commercial operations as we scale. What you bring to Plantible: Required 5+ years of progressive EHS experience in food/beverage manufacturing, biotech, chemical processing, or a comparable industrial environment — with at least 2 years as the on-site safety lead. Working fluency with Cal/OSHA regulations; demonstrated experience managing OSHA recordkeeping, inspections, and incident response. Hands-on experience with pilot- or commercial-scale process equipment: pressure vessels, boilers, pumps, filtration, CIP, and/or fermentation or extraction systems. Proven ability to run LOTO, confined space, hot work, and contractor safety programs. Strong floor presence — this role is in the greenhouse, lab, and plant every day, not behind a screen. English-speaking preferred; bilingual English/Spanish a plus given our operator base. Preferred Safety certifications: ASP, CSP, CHMM, or equivalent. Experience with SQF, GFSI, or FDA-regulated food manufacturing environments. Experience with greenhouse, controlled-environment agriculture, or biological cultivation operations. Experience scaling EHS programs from pilot to commercial production. Familiarity with process safety management (PSM) principles and HAZOP facilitation. What success looks like: First 90 days: full gap assessment across farm, labs, and pilot plant; unified training matrix and compliance calendar in place. 6 months: measurable reduction in near-misses and recordables; operator-led safety observations happening daily on the floor. 12 months: Plantible San Diego operates with a mature, audit-ready EHS program that scales cleanly into our next phase of growth. Logistics: Location: San Diego, CA — on-site, full-time. This role cannot be performed remotely. Schedule: primarily day shift with occasional coverage needs during pilot runs, commissioning, or incident response. Physical: ability to wear full PPE, climb ladders and platforms, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in greenhouse, lab, and processing environments.
