Position: Health and Safety Manager
Job Code: OPHSM5 + Sr. Mgr, Safety
Location: Covington, VA
The Opportunity:
This is more than a traditional safety management role. As the Health and Safety Manager, you will serve as a key member of the mill leadership team, reporting directly to the General Manager and influencing one of our largest manufacturing operations. You will lead the site's safety strategy, champion a world-class safety culture, and drive continuous improvement programs that protect our people while supporting operational performance.
If you thrive in a visible leadership role, enjoy partnering with frontline teams, lead a professional safety team, and are passionate about creating safer, more reliable and engaged workplaces, we want to hear from you.

  • Lead implementation and sustainability of Smurfit Westrock's Safety Excellence System.
  • Serve as the site leader for Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) and Learning Culture initiatives.
  • Foster an environment where employees actively identify risks, learn from events and near misses, and continuously improve work systems.

Partner with Operations
  • Maintain a strong presence in the field, spending approximately 60% of your time engaging employees, coaching leaders, conducting observations, and assessing risk.
  • Collaborate with operations, maintenance, engineering, reliability, and environmental teams to integrate safety into business decisions and daily operations.
  • Support Process Safety Management (PSM) compliance and performance.
  • Lead contractor safety programs, outage safety planning, and shutdown activities.

Develop People & Build Capability
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of safety professionals.
  • Partner with Occupational Health resources to support injury prevention, workers' compensation, return-to-work programs, and wellness initiatives.
  • Coordinate site safety training and compliance programs.

Drive Compliance & Organizational Learning
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA, NFPA, ANSI, and company standards.
  • Lead incident investigations, corrective action development, and organizational learning activities.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with regulatory agencies, insurance carriers, and safety-related external partners.
  • Manage site safety budgets, emergency preparedness programs, and crisis response processes.

What Makes This Role Exciting
  • Opportunity to shape the safety culture of a large, complex manufacturing operation
  • Lead emerging Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) and Learning Team initiatives
  • Direct impact on employee well-being, operational reliability, and business performance

  • Ability to work throughout a large industrial manufacturing facility, including production, maintenance, warehouse, utility, and outdoor environments.

Physical Requirements
  • Ability to work in a heavy industrial manufacturing environment, including production, maintenance, warehouse, utility, and outdoor areas.

  • Ability to stand, bend, kneel, crouch, and perform field observations, inspections, and investigations for extended periods.
  • Ability to occasionally lift and carry up to 25 pounds.
