This role offers the opportunity to step into a highly visible position where your expertise directly shapes the safety culture, operational readiness, and regulatory compliance of our teams.

Lead or participate in incident investigations, including injuries, property damage, and near misses; manage workers' compensation reporting, monitoring, and returntowork coordination.

Maintain and audit safety training records; support and deliver training sessions as needed.

Work on key safety initiatives such as Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) updates, and safety talk audits.

Travel up to 10% to support additional facilities.
