About Daniels Health
At Daniels Health, our mission is simple but powerful — to make healthcare safer and more sustainable. As a global leader in reusable healthcare waste management systems, Daniels is redefining how healthcare facilities handle medical waste through innovation, environmental responsibility, and operational excellence.
We don’t just manage waste — we protect people, reduce environmental impact, and help our partners achieve safer, cleaner, and more efficient operations. The Continuous Improvement Manager plays a key role in advancing that mission by embedding a culture of efficiency, safety, and performance improvement throughout our operational network.

Position Overview
The Continuous Improvement (CI) Coordinator supports the Continuous Improvement & Infrastructure teams in executing Daniels Health’s continuous improvement and operational excellence initiatives. This role serves as a vital connector between the CI team, infrastructure, plant operations, and cross-functional departments — maintaining essential tools, communication channels, and resources that drive engagement, efficiency, and consistent execution across the network.
The CI Coordinator will be responsible for maintaining training modules, developing and managing the Continuous Improvement & Engineering website, coordinating communications around upcoming trainings and deployments, and managing administrative and logistical tasks such as team travel.

This is a hybrid role requiring both onsite presence at Daniels Health facilities and remote collaboration.
