REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related science (e.g., radiological health, health physics, chemistry, biology, occupational safety/health, industrial hygiene)
• 3+ years working with unsealed radioactive materials and familiarity with exposure and contamination control practices, as well as writing and implementing radiation safety program aspects.
• Leadership experience developing and supervising Radiation Safety teams and/or programs

MAIN PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF POSITION:

The Manager, Radiation Safety (RS) provides functional oversight of the Indy RLT radiation safety team and provides technical expertise and operational support in the development, implementation, and maintenance of RS programs. This role focuses primarily on Radiation Safety programs but may include Environmental Health and Safety programs, as needed.
The Manager, RS role will be fluid and dynamic as the Indy RLT team endeavors to develop and implement the necessary systems and business processes required to support GMP operations and build the site safety culture. This will require significant collaboration and resilience as the site grows through startup to full scale GMP manufacturing.
Post start-up, this role will continue to be the main resource for oversight of foundational radiation safety program maintenance and provide technical guidance and coordinate radiological incident prevention and response for manufacturing and support units. A duty of the Manager, RS includes oversight of radiation safety personnel supporting a 24/7 manufacturing schedule; the position may entail day, night, and/or weekend work.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS ROLE INCLUDE:

• Supervise and manage the daily performance of fundamental radiation safety-related tasks, including quantitative surveys for radioactive contamination and area radiation fields, sample collection and analysis, instrument constancy testing, calibration tracking, and documentation review to maintain audit and inspection readiness.
• Provide leadership in conducting comprehensive Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and coordinate field presence for various manufacturing and laboratory activities to verify the implementation of appropriate controls and JHA recommendations
• Develop, implement, and improve radiation safety procedures and processes to ensure compliance with regulatory and Company requirements – with accompanying recognition, development, and coordination of required radiation safety training.
• Proactively identify potential radiation safety hazards and initiate corrective actions and perform extent-of-condition evaluations to formalize systematic improvement of the site radiation safety program.
• Collaborate with the HSE-RS team to develop the RS operational readiness plan for the Lilly CORE facility, fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and energetic team environment.
• Lead implementation of assigned RS operational readiness programs, such as equipment management, constancy testing, radiological surveys, radiological sample collection & analysis, and radioactive waste management as well as cross-functionally support HSE programs as needed.
• Provide input and feedback on radiation safety-related design decisions, leveraging existing Lilly knowledge, and incorporating external experiences and learning.
• Develop and roll out radiation safety programs, procedures, tools, and overall RS management systems, including training, mentoring, and onboarding of new staff to support a strong HSE-RS culture at the site.
• Serve as a site key contact and RS program expert, including knowledge of applicable corporate, local, state, and federal requirements and ensuring site procedures are aligned with regulatory and Radioactive Materials License commitments.
• Be a resource to the operational areas in helping them understand the site-specific and regulatory requirements of their areas and programs; work with them in implementing solutions that comply with these regulations and programs. Facilitate the implementation of the programs.
• Complete internal RS audits/assessments, coordinate incident prevention and response efforts & investigations as well as corrective action implementation, assist with trending RS data and compiling metrics, and support the development of long-term plans to drive program improvements.
