Field Supervisor - Industrial Hygiene

About the role

The Field Supervisor is a step up in title and pay, recognizing your expertise in industrial hygiene, asbestos, lead, and environmental consulting. This role is for someone who genuinely loves the coaching side of the job, giving feedback that lands, running quality reviews, and adapting to whatever a site, a client, or a junior tech needs that day.

Responsibilities

• Supplies & Field Readiness
• Ensure apprentices, interns, and field technicians have the supplies, PPE, and equipment they need before every job.
• Track inventory proactively and restock before shortages become a problem on-site.
• Keep sampling and monitoring equipment organized, calibrated, and ready to deploy.
• On-Site Presence & Adaptability
• Show up to job sites regularly and consistently — visible, available, and engaged, not just when something’s wrong.
• Be the first call for field staff with questions, judgment calls, or a technical second opinion.
• Adapt to the needs of each site, client, and team member — jumping in hands-on wherever it makes the biggest difference that day.
• Quality Control & Reviews
• Audit field work for quality: sampling technique, documentation accuracy, chain of custody, photo logs, and daily field notes.
• Conduct regular field reviews and performance check-ins with technicians, apprentices, and interns.
• Confirm Titan’s procedures and protocols are being followed in practice, not just documented on paper.
• Identify recurring quality or process issues early and work directly with staff to correct them.
• Training, Feedback & Coaching
• Deliver real-time, in-the-field feedback — not just annual reviews.
• Lead hands-on training for new and developing field staff, reinforcing proper technique, protocol, and professionalism.
• Support technicians and apprentices working toward their own IH, asbestos, and lead certifications.
• When a training or performance issue comes up, coach through it directly, patiently, and constructively.
• Technical & Content Expertise
• Serve as the go-to subject matter resource for field staff on technical, regulatory, and procedural questions.
• Stay current on regulatory changes and translate them into practical guidance for the field team.
• Represent Titan’s technical standards and judgment when questions come up on-site with clients or building occupants.

Qualifications

• Required Certifications:
• Cal/OSHA Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC)
• Certified Site Surveillance Technician (CSST)
• Certified Lead Inspector/Assessor Certification (CDPH-accredited)
• OSHA 30-Hour Certification
• Required Experience & Skills:
• 3+ years of hands-on field experience in industrial hygiene, asbestos, lead, or environmental consulting.
• Strong, natural people skills — approachable, patient, and direct in a way people actually respond to.
• A genuine interest in coaching, mentoring, and developing less experienced staff.
• Comfort with variety and change — every day, site, and client can look different, and you adapt without missing a beat.
• Sharp eye for quality and process, with the follow-through to actually fix what you find.
• Valid California Driver's License and ability to travel to project sites regularly.

Benefits

• Required annual refresher trainings (AHERA, lead, etc.) are paid time, not something you squeeze in unpaid.
• Mileage/vehicle allowance for travel between job sites [confirm rate/policy before posting].
• Support toward advanced credentials — exam fees, study materials, and AIHA/ACGIH resources for technicians working toward CIH.
