Job Summary

As an Occupational Disease Investigator, you will be responsible for conducting workplace assessments, including exposure determination and evaluation, in cases of suspected occupational diseases. Your expert opinions on workplace conditions will be crucial for various stakeholders, including case workers, medical experts, and employers. You'll collaborate closely with colleagues in occupational disease case management, offering mutual support and advice during investigations. A key aspect of the role involves utilizing your pedagogical skills to influence behavioral changes in insured individuals regarding individual prevention measures (e.g., noise, skin, respiratory, musculoskeletal disorders). You will also contribute to information and training events, as well as the development of educational materials. This role is attractive due to an extensive 9-month internal training program, a permanent full-time contract, and the opportunity to work for a major statutory accident insurance provider dedicated to preventing workplace hazards and supporting affected individuals.
