Safety Coordinator (Manufacturing) – Day Shift

$22–$24/hr | Kankakee area, IL

**Job Type:** Full-time, Contract (Start with **Kelly Services** for **3–6 months** , with opportunity to be hired on permanently based on performance and business needs)

Shift:** **Mon–Fri | 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM

**Start:** ASAP

If you have real safety experience and you’re ready to be the right hand to a Safety Manager—this is for you.

This role sits just below the Safety Manager and is built for someone who’s upbeat, organized, and confident enough to speak up on the floor while staying professional and approachable. You’ll be supported, but you’ll also be trusted to take ownership. If you like a transformative leadership style (clear expectations + coaching + accountability), you’ll fit in well here.
