You'll oversee safety governance, risk management frameworks, audits, and compliance readiness across a fast-paced, production-driven operation.

If you thrive in environments where safety leadership, regulatory alignment, and high-impact prevention programs truly matter, this role offers the chance to make an immediate and long-lasting impact.

• Maintain certification and audit readiness (e.g., COR), including closing out findings, creating corrective action plans, and preparing compliance documentation.

Safety Analytics, KPI Management & Reporting

• Direct and coach Safety Supervisors and Safety Analytics staff.
• Establish KPIs for compliance programs and track performance across all safety initiatives.
• Prepare and present safety performance reports, incident data, and leading indicators to senior leadership.

Hazard Identification & Prevention Programs

• Develop Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), safe operating procedures, emergency response plans, and plant-wide hazard recognition tools.
• Review equipment and contractor documentation for OHS content and incorporate findings into program enhancements.

Training, Engagement & Culture Building

• Design and deliver training in safety compliance, hazard recognition, emergency response, and best practices.
• Coach supervisors and production teams to reinforce high-impact safety behaviours.
• Champion a safety-first culture through consistent communication and engagement.

• Respond to serious incidents and ensure proper investigation, documentation, and follow-up.
• Maintain accurate records, documentation, and reporting systems to protect organizational interests and compliance status.

What You Bring

• Post-secondary education in Occupational Health & Safety (or related field).
• CRSP designation preferred (not required).
• 5–7 years of progressive experience in safety compliance within industrial, manufacturing, or high-volume processing environments.
• Strong understanding of plant processes, equipment, and industrial operations.
