Safety excellence doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built every day by people who care deeply about protecting others. As a Safety Coordinator , you’ll play a key role in creating a safe, compliant, and engaged work environment while developing the skills and experience needed to grow into future safety leadership roles.

This is a position designed for someone who wants hands-on experience, strong mentorship, and meaningful responsibility in environmental health & safety (EHS). You’ll partner closely with site leadership, front-line associates, and regional safety experts to drive continuous improvement and help everyone go home safe—every day.

Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity

• High visibility & impact – Your work directly affects employee safety, compliance, and site performance
• Career growth built in – Structured development plans, exposure to Safety Manager responsibilities, and coaching from experienced safety leaders

• Intervene and stop unsafe behaviors or conditions that could harm people or equipment
• Collaborate with associates and leaders to reduce injuries, illnesses, and operational risk

Incident Prevention & Investigation

• Complete qualified incident investigator training
• Lead or support timely, high-quality incident investigations
• Identify root causes and help implement corrective actions that prevent recurrence
• Support serious injury and fatality (SIF) or high-potential incident investigations alongside senior safety leaders

Training & Onboarding

• Support safety onboarding for new employees, contractors, and visitors
• Help deliver and maintain safety training programs and site-specific orientations
• Ensure training materials stay current and compliant with regulatory and company requirements

Safety Leadership & Collaboration

• Actively participate—and often lead—on the Joint Health & Safety Committee
• Partner with leadership and employees to respond to safety concerns and ideas, ensuring follow‑through
• Assist with developing and maintaining written safety procedures (JSAs, SOPs, lockout procedures)

Data, Reporting & Administration

• Maintain accurate safety records, training documentation, and reporting
• Support safety metrics, scorecards, and employee involvement tracking
• Handle confidential health and safety information with discretion and professionalism

Professional Development

• Create and execute an Individual Development Plan (IDP) with the Site Safety Manager and Safety Liaison
• Gain exposure to industrial hygiene programs such as air and noise monitoring, chemical management, and hearing conservation
• Serve as the site safety contact when the Safety Manager is unavailable

• High school diploma or equivalent
• At least 1 year of safety-related experience
• Strong communication skills with an approachable, empathetic style
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and record‑keeping skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and interpret safety data effectively
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)

Preferred (Not Required)

• Degree or certificate in safety, health, or a related field
