All:
I am writing on behalf of a client, Fauske and Associates, located in Burr Ridge, IL. More on what they do is here: www.fauske.com . They are seeking an EHS Coordinator. I have cut/pasted the qualifications below. They would prefer someone “local” to the Chicago area.
If you have any questions (other than salary), please contact me via email as I am away from a phone more than I’m near one recently.
