Heartbeat Group of Companies First Aid Training Calgary | Certified Safety Training Calgary, AB — In-person delivery at our training facilities and on client sites across Western Canada
The Role
We're hiring a Safety Training Instructor to deliver the courses that keep Western Canadian workers going home safe at the end of every shift. This isn't a "read the slides" instructor role — we hire people who've done the work, who know the difference between what the manual says and what actually happens in the field, and who can teach that difference in a way learners remember.
You'll deliver forklift, fall protection, working at heights, elevated work platforms, confined space, and related programs to everyone from new hires to seasoned crews. Some days you're in our Calgary training facility running public courses. Other days you're on a client site teaching the people who run that site. Every day, you're the face of Heartbeat to the learners in your room.
If you take pride in the craft of teaching, take safety personally, and want to work with a team that holds the same bar — this is your role.
What You'll Own
Course Delivery
- Teach scheduled public courses at our Calgary training locations
- Deliver on-site courses at client facilities across Alberta and Western Canada
- Run theory, practical, and evaluation components to certifying body standards
- Adapt your delivery to the room — apprentices, journeymen, supervisors, office staff — without dropping the standard
Learner Experience
- Show up early, set up properly, and run a course day that respects everyone's time
- Create a learning environment where people actually engage, ask questions, and retain what you taught
- Hold a Disney-level guest experience standard from the first handshake to the certificate handoff
Standards & Compliance
- Deliver every course to Alberta OHS, ESC, CSA, and other certifying body requirements
- Maintain accurate course records, evaluations, and certification paperwork
- Keep your own certifications current and pursue additional tickets as we expand our offerings
Equipment & Site Readiness
- Inspect and maintain training equipment between courses
- Coordinate with the operations team to make sure every course is set up to succeed
- Flag issues early — broken equipment, missing materials, site safety concerns — before they become learner-facing problems
What We're Looking For
Required
- ESC (Energy Safety Canada) instructor certification — non-negotiable
- Strong field experience in industrial, construction, energy, or trades environments
- Experience and background in the programs you'll deliver (forklift, fall protection, working at heights, EWP, etc. — the more, the better)
- Valid Alberta driver's license and clean abstract; willingness to travel to client sites across Western Canada
- Clear, calm, confident communicator — you can hold a room of 15 without losing it
Strong assets
- First Aid/CPR instructor certifications (Canadian Red Cross or equivalent)
- Train-the-trainer credentials
- Experience teaching adult learners in regulated or technical environments
- Background in oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, or municipal/utility work
- Bilingual (English + French, or English + another language common to Western Canadian worksites)
Who fits here
- You take safety personally — you've seen what happens when training is treated as a box-tick, and you're done with that
- You're a craftsperson about teaching. You want to get better at it, not just do it
- You're reliable. When you say you'll be there at 7:00 AM, you're there at 6:45
- You're comfortable being the face of two brands and representing them well on every site you visit
- You enjoy variety — different rooms, different learners, different sites — more than the same desk every day
Why You'll Love It Here
- Two strong, established brands with a full course calendar — no scrambling for work
- A real team behind you. Our operations crew sets you up to succeed so you can focus on teaching
- Professional development funded — we'll pay to add tickets that expand what you can deliver
- Variety in your week — public courses, on-site work, multiple programs
- A growing company with room to step into lead instructor, master trainer, or program development roles as we scale across Western Canada
- A culture that rewards craftspeople. We notice who delivers, and we invest in them.
Compensation & Logistics
- Calgary-based, in-person delivery
- Travel to regional client sites across Western Canada — vehicle, mileage, accommodations, and per diem covered
- Competitive compensation based on experience and certification depth
- Full benefits and PD budget — discussed with shortlisted candidates
How to Apply
Send your resume, a list of your current certifications (with expiry dates), and a short note answering one question: what's something you teach in a course that isn't in the manual — and why does it matter?
We're hiring people who have something to teach, not just people who have a ticket.
Pay: $25.00-$35.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
