Job Description

Fermilab Safety Coordinator

ProSidian seeks a Fermilab Safety Coordinator to support an engagement for Energy, Resources, & Industrials Sector Clients. This service supports the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II Project (PIP-II) at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), located just outside Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, IL. Fermilab is a Department Of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics.

Under general supervision and based on significant knowledge of the laboratory's procedures and the operations of the area to which assigned, provide specialized FERMILAB Safety Coordinator support and performs moderately complex duties, tasks, and assignments that are broad, non-routine, and diversified, exercising a moderate degree of independent decision-making and problem resolution.

The Resident Engineer will be required to undergo FRA specific General Employee Radiation Training and Safety Orientation prior to beginning work on the Fermilab site. As an FERMILAB Safety Coordinator in the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II Project (PIP-II), you will:

• Organizationally report to the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) Project ESH Manager at Fermilab but is also responsible to coordinate very closely with the PIP-II Project Manager and Site Construction Coordinators.
• Abide by and be responsible for performing all duties in accordance with all environmental, health and safety regulations and practices pertinent to this position.
• Assist in ESH matters in project plans, including strategizing technical solutions and alternatives on Environment Safety and Health (ES&H) matters.
• Assist in the development of the PIP-II construction site work planning and control process including support in the development of the Hazard Analysis (HA) process with the multiple Subcontractors at the Fermilab Site.
• Be the primary point of contact for all stakeholders ESH related inquiries at the Fermilab Site.
• Cooperatively monitor the project's Environment Safety and Health (ES&H) policies and procedures for Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) Project / subprojects to assure compliance with project, Fermilab requirements and all applicable local, state and federal regulations, requirements and standards and all Department of Energy (DOE) orders.
• Ensure appropriate implementation of the subcontractor Industrial Hygiene program including lead/asbestos abatement, personal sampling, and occupational medicine.
• Implement an Industrial Hygiene sampling and monitoring program for the PIP-II Site staff.
• Initiate, perform and document jobsite inspections and audits with special emphasis on hazard recognition, unsafe behaviors and corrective actions, and lessons learned. This necessitates the ability to think independently, communicate thoroughly and facilitate the implementation of corrections/behaviors.
• Lead ESH audits, site inspections, accident investigations, and monitor trend analysis in order to identify areas of concern and implement improvements.
• Participate in ESH reviews at the Fermilab Site with Project, Fermilab, and DOE ESH oversight staff.
• Participate in the weekly PIP-II Project Construction Planning meetings with the Subcontractors.
• Prepare report for Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II PROJECT (PIP-II) ESH Manager based on observations, interpretation of data and current regulations. Routinely interact with Fermilab, SURF, Department of Energy (DOE), project staff, and stakeholders on ESH issues.
• Provide guidance and interpretation on ESH matters and problems relating to Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II PROJECT (PIP-II) construction at the Fermilab Site to the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II PROJECT (PIP-II) ESH Manager, the SURF ESH Director and the Subcontractor ESH Manager.
• Report ESH issues including accidents, injuries, and near miss incidents to the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan II Project (PIP-II) ESH Manager. Oversight of compliance with accident/incident reporting and investigation requirements.
• Respect, understand, and value individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.
• Review engineering documents for compliance with applicable codes and standards. Reviews are not limited to drawings, and the applicable codes and standards are not limited to ESH and/or QA.
• Under limited direction, this position has responsibility to oversee the Fermilab Environment Safety and Health (ES&H) program at the PIP-II Site and its implementation by the designated Subcontractors.
• Work together with a system engineering team and managers and engineers in the major subprojects.
• Participate as a member of the SURF and CMGC ESH Committees.
• Other duties as assigned.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is undertaking an upgrade to the existing accelerator complex called PIP-II which is a high-intensity proton facility to support a world-leading neutrino program over the next two decades at Fermilab. PIP-II is an integral part of the U.S. Intensity Frontier Roadmap as described in the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel report of May 2014, with an intermediate-term goal focused on upgrades to the Fermilab accelerator complex capable of providing a beam power in excess of 1 MW on target at the initiation of LBNF operations. In a broader sense, PIP-II is a part of a longer-term concept for a sustained campaign of upgrades and improvements to achieve multi-MW proton beam capabilities at Fermilab.

The Safety Coordinator will be required to undergo client specific General Employee Radiation Training and Safety Orientation prior to beginning work on the Fermilab site. Due to the nature of the government contract requirements and/or clearances requirements, US citizenship is required.
