Who We're Looking For
You've worked in the trades — or close enough to them that a job site feels like home turf. You know that real safety doesn't come from a clipboard or a compliance portal. It comes from crews who trust safety enough to flag a hazard before it becomes an incident, and from a safety advisor who earns that trust by showing up, listening, and solving problems alongside the people doing the work.
If your instinct is to write people up first and ask questions later, this isn't your role. If your instinct is to get out to site, run a toolbox talk that people actually pay attention to, and build a program the crews take ownership of — keep reading.
The Role
You'll own the day-to-day of the HSE program, splitting your time between our field sites, shop, and office. This is a boots-on-the-ground position: expect regular travel to project sites throughout Western Canada to lead safety meetings, conduct inspections, support crews through incidents, and be a visible, approachable presence — not a name on an org chart.
Your success will be measured by safety outcomes and the strength of our safety culture, not by the volume of paperwork generated.
What You'll Do
In the field (where you'll spend most of your time):
- Travel to project sites regularly to lead toolbox talks and safety meetings, conduct site inspections, and work directly with foremen and crews.
- Build genuine working relationships with field staff so hazards get reported early and safety conversations happen before incidents, not after.
- Coach and mentor tradespeople on safe work practices using behavior-based safety principles — collaboratively, not punitively.
- Lead incident investigations and risk assessments using established cause analysis models, with a focus on learning and prevention rather than blame.
- Support crews through incident response, WCB case management, and return-to-work planning.
Program management and compliance (the foundation that supports the field work):
- Manage and continuously improve the HSE program, including planning and executing ACSA COR audits and action plans.
- Deliver new employee safety orientations and coordinate required training.
- Maintain company profiles on client prequalification platforms (ComplyWorks, ISNetworld, Avetta, Requis) and manage subcontractor safety orientations and compliance.
- Coordinate emergency preparedness procedures and keep documentation, statistics, and OHS performance tracking current.
- Participate in Joint Health and Safety Committee meetings.
What You Bring
Required:
- Hands-on trades experience (mechanical, construction, or oil & gas preferred) — you understand the realities of field work because you've lived them.
- 2–3 years of health and safety experience, or a strong trades background with demonstrated safety leadership (e.g., safety rep, JHSC member, mentor role) and willingness to formalize it.
- NCSO certification, or active enrollment with a clear path to completion.
- Working knowledge of OH&S and WCB legislation, incident case management, and return-to-work programs.
- Strong interpersonal skills — you can hold your own in a conversation with a journeyman and present to management with equal comfort.
- Valid Class 5 driver's licence with a clean record and willingness to travel to sites regularly.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
Nice to have:
- Experience with client prequalification platforms (ComplyWorks, ISNetworld, Avetta).
- Experience supporting or leading COR audits.
- Safety designation or progress toward it (valued, but field credibility matters more to us).
How We Think About Safety
We're serious about compliance — COR certification, client prequalification, and regulatory obligations are non-negotiable table stakes. But we know compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. The programs that actually prevent injuries are built on trust, participation, and crews who believe the safety program exists to protect them, not to police them. We're hiring someone who shares that view and can deliver both: airtight compliance and a culture people want to be part of.
