Production Training and Safety Manager

About Us

Hylio designs, fabricates, and offers UAS (unmanned aerial systems i.e. “drones”) for the agricultural industry. Our mission is to make farming easier and more successful for our customers.

We are a fast-growing technology startup in Richmond, TX focused on developing cutting edge precision agriculture solutions.

We’re seeking team members that are self-motivated, eager to grow with our company, and excited to service our customers.

Overview

As a Production Training and Safety Manager you will be responsible for overseeing the training of Hylio’s production staff, and ensuring Hylio maintains compliance with applicable safety regulations. The role will primarily involve the development and record keeping of basic training programs for assembly line staff, and conducting of training sessions. Training programs you must conduct will span safety and HR topics, as well as more basic production practices. More complex production training sessions will be conducted by experts within the company, but facilitated and recorded by the training manager. Some basic training record keeping software may be used, in combination with the use of google sheets, developed by the training manager.

In addition to maintaining training records and conducting training sessions, you will be responsible for improving and maintaining Hylio’s safety program. This may include developing general emergency procedures, maintaining the OSHA 300 log, conducting routine office safety audits, conducting monthly safety meetings, and maintaining general safety policies. Hylio produces large unmanned aircraft (50-500lbs), so safety is extremely important to our business. Hylio maintains a focus on strict adherence to checklists and other safety principles to ensure the safety of our employees. We are looking for someone to help us maintain and expand our safety policies to ensure the safety of our employees and customers.

You will work in a dynamic team setting where you will interact with technicians, computer scientists, and engineers. You must be able to communicate well with others from every skill level and background, as you will conduct training and safety lessons with almost every Hylio employee.
