INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OPPORTUNITY

Certified Ergonomist — On-Site & Remote Assessments Nationwide Travel + Remote | ⏱ Flexible Hours | Contract / 1099

THE OPPORTUNITY Are you a credentialed ergonomics professional who thrives on variety, autonomy, and measurable impact? We're looking for an experienced Certified Ergonomist to join our growing network of independent contractors — bringing evidence-based ergonomic expertise to a diverse portfolio of clients across office, industrial, and hybrid work settings. This is not a 9-to-5. It's a flexible, high-impact contracting engagement designed for self-starters who want to own their schedule, expand their client base, and get paid competitively for specialized expertise. You'll conduct both on-site and remote assessments, deliver actionable recommendations, and help real people work more safely and comfortably every day.

WHY PARTNER WITH US ✔ Competitive compensation bases on per-assessment and project-based rates — commensurate with your certifications and experience (estimated ~$30-50/hr) ✔ Fully flexible scheduling — you set your availability and accept engagements that fit your calendar ✔ Travel reimbursement for all approved on-site visits (mileage, airfare, lodging where applicable) ✔ Diverse client portfolio — corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, healthcare settings, and remote-first teams ✔ Ongoing pipeline of work — no cold-calling required; we bring the clients, you deliver the expertise ✔ Support for continuing education, certification renewal credits, and professional development

WHAT YOU'LL DO As a contracted Certified Ergonomist, your core responsibilities will include: Conduct comprehensive ergonomic evaluations across office, industrial, clinical, and hybrid work environments — both in person and via digital platforms. Deliver detailed, professionally written assessment reports with clear findings, risk ratings, and prioritized recommendations tailored to each client. Perform asynchronous remote evaluations using video submissions, self-report tools, and digital assessment platforms, providing actionable guidance without requiring on-site presence. Identify musculoskeletal risk factors and design practical, cost-effective interventions — from workstation adjustments to process redesign. Develop and deliver ergonomics training sessions, toolbox talks, and educational materials for employees, supervisors, and EHS teams. Collaborate with client-side safety officers, HR professionals, occupational health specialists, and facilities teams to ensure recommendations are implemented effectively. Maintain accurate, organized assessment records and documentation in compliance with applicable OSHA and regulatory standards. Support follow-up evaluations to measure the effectiveness of implemented ergonomic controls and document outcomes. Ability to deliver a professional deliverable report to company and client.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS CPE (Certified Professional Ergonomist) or CIE (Certified Industrial Ergonomist) — required Strong written communication skills — ability to produce clear, client-ready reports independently Bachelor's or Master's degree in Ergonomics, Human Factors, Kinesiology, OT, AT, or related field Comfortable working autonomously and managing multiple client engagements simultaneously Minimum 3 years conducting ergonomic assessments (office and/or industrial settings) Familiarity with OSHA standards and occupational health and safety regulations Proficiency in ergonomic evaluation tools and assessment methodologies (RULA, REBA, NIOSH Lift Equation, etc.) Ability and willingness to travel to client sites (estimated 25–50% of engagements)

PREFERRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Experience with remote and hybrid workforce ergonomics — video-based assessments, self-assessment platforms, and asynchronous consultation workflows. Knowledge of assistive technology, adaptive workstation design, and ADA-compliant ergonomic solutions. Experience across multiple industries (e.g., technology, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, financial services). Familiarity with wearable sensor technology, motion capture tools, or digital human modeling software. Strong interpersonal and client-relations skills — ability to build trust and communicate recommendations persuasively to non-technical audiences. Bilingual a plus (Spanish, French, or other languages spoken in client workforces).

ENGAGEMENT DETAILS Engagement Type Independent Contractor (1099) — project-based or retainer Location Remote-first with on-site travel as requested by clients Travel Estimate 25–50% depending on engagement mix; all travel expenses reimbursed Scheduling Flexible — you control your availability calendar Compensation Competitive rates based on certification level, assessment type, and volume Start Date Immediate — onboarding upon contract execution About Us We are a B2B occupational health company delivering Integrated Specialty Care (ISC) — a coordinated system that prevents, triages, and treats workplace injuries and other health conditions by combining digital, virtual, and physical care with guaranteed financial outcomes.
