Machinery Safety Standards & Training Manager - ANSI B11 / ISO 13849Job Family: Product / Safety ServicesLocation: Remote - United StatesCompensation Range: $140,000 - $180,000Travel: Customer sites, standards committee meetings, Fortress US and UK locationsMachinery safety is your specialism. Teaching it is your superpower.Read this first, because it will save us both time: this is not an EHS, OSHA compliance or site-safety role. We are not looking for a safety officer, an EHS manager, or a workplace-safety generalist.
We are looking for a machinery safety specialist - someone who works in functional safety and machine safeguarding, who can talk fluently about ANSI B11, ISO 13849-1 Performance Levels, IEC 62061 SILs and ISO 12100 risk assessment, and who gets a genuine kick out of helping other engineers understand it.
What You'll Be Doing- Design and deliver first-class training on ANSI B11 and related machinery safety standards - webinars, on-site workshops and technical sessions - for customers, channel partners and Fortress colleagues
- Support customers through machine risk assessment, safeguarding selection and safety concept design, on the plant floor and remotely
- Represent Fortress on national and international standards committees, feeding developments back into our product and commercial strategy
- Build our Fortress training academy, from curriculum and competency framework through to measuring real-world impact
- Partner with Product Management and Marketing to turn dense standards content into material engineers actually want to read
- Shape New Product Development and New Product Introduction, so US standards compliance is engineered in from concept rather than bolted on at launch
- Grow Fortress's reputation through tradeshows, industry bodies and thought leadership across the US machinery safety community
Some weeks that's a customer's plant floor. Some weeks a standards meeting. Some weeks a webinar to 200 controls engineers. All of it adds up to the same thing: fewer people getting hurt at work.

- A track record of technical training, teaching or coaching engineering audiences, and a talent for making the complex simple
- Hands-on credibility with safety PLCs, interlocks, light curtains, guard locking and control reliable circuits - enough to earn an engineer's trust in the first ten minutes
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, turning complex regulatory requirements into practical guidance
- A continuous improvement mindset and the ability to lead and influence without formal authority
- Willingness to travel to customer sites and our US and UK locations
- CMSE® (Certified Machinery Safety Expert), TÜV Functional Safety Engineer or equivalent is very welcome - applied expertise matters more to us than the certificate
- University degree or equivalent experience gained on the job
