- Maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation related to inspections, training, incidents, and audit findings.
- Support certification, audit preparation, and ongoing compliance efforts within established health and safety programs and standards.
- Travel between sites as needed to provide on-site guidance, assess conditions, and respond to operational safety priorities.
- Post-secondary education in occupational health and safety or a related discipline, or progress toward a relevant diploma or certificate.
- COR audit experience is strongly desired.
- At least 3 years of experience in a health and safety role, with exposure to industrial, manufacturing, or construction settings; construction experience is preferred.
- Strong understanding of health and safety legislation, compliance practices, incident investigation, root cause analysis, and workplace auditing.
- Demonstrated ability to influence safe behaviour, communicate effectively with all levels of an organization, and deliver clear training presentations.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel regularly between sites and work outside standard business hours when required.
