Project Coordinator
Syracuse, IN | On-Site | Full-Time
------------------------------------------
Keep the projects, systems, and records behind our safety programs running smoothly.
POLYWOOD builds outdoor furniture designed to last a lifetime. For more than 35 years we have made it from recycled HDPE lumber, built to outlast weather, kids, and trends. We are a vertically integrated American manufacturer with facilities in Syracuse, Indiana and Roxboro, North Carolina.
We are looking for a Project Coordinator to support our Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) team across both locations. You will coordinate project timelines, help administer the HSI Safety Management Suite and Paylocity Learning, check data and reports for accuracy, and keep documents and training records organized.
This role is a great fit for someone who loves organizing details, follows through on every commitment, and notices when something does not look right. Safety experience is a plus, but it is not required.
