Join Safe-T-Sense’s professional and growing safety team where you can make a positive difference in someone’s life every day. At STS you will provide industrial functional safety related controls advice and industry best practices to our customers.

You will develop safety solutions engineered to reduce customer’s risks to an acceptable level of safety, verify architecture designs to keep personnel safe when working on or near the industrial environment and conduct on-site validation of safety systems. You will work within a team environment, taking a lead role on larger safety remediation projects and periodically provide training on various safety related topics.
STS provides support to a range of industries, including automotive, food and beverage, personal care, machine tools, tissue and paper, consumer goods, packaging, metal forming, rides and entertainment, AGVs, robotics, commodity chemicals and many more.
