International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) has an opening for a Maintenance Permit Coordinator at our Dayton, NJ site. The Maintenance Permit Coordinator works with the maintenance team and oversees all safety aspects of outside contractors, and assists mechanics where needed with safety set up for repair work throughout the plant. The coordinator is responsible for oversight of all contractors from a safety perspective, including conducting annual training, Permit writing (Basic permit, LOTO, hotwork, Line breaking, de-energizing), and frequent safety inspections on our contractors to make sure they are working in a safe manner. Part of this role will also be maintaining up to date communication with the production team, in the area where work is being performed.
As a Maintenance Permit Coordinator, you will spend your time...
- Permit Execution for all contractors: You will know in advance what contractors are in on a daily basis, and plan for the permits that will be needed for each job. Part of this will also be prepping the area leadership on the requirements for the work and follow up to make sure that the area to be worked on is ready to be worked in.

It is expected that the coordinator will however follow through the next day with the job for updates on job completion, and work space returned and ready for production to work again.
