If you thrive on variety, independence, relationship building, training, and making a measurable impact, this could be an excellent next step in your safety career.

Prepare professional audit reports, inspection findings, training documentation, safety correspondence, and corrective-action recommendations.

The Right Candidate

We're looking for more than someone who can conduct an inspection or deliver a presentation.

The ideal candidate is a Safety Professional, Consultant, Trainer, and Field Leader who can move comfortably between each role.

You should be able to walk into a new client environment, quickly understand the operation, identify potential risks, communicate effectively with leadership, engage employees in the field, and provide solutions that are both practical and sustainable.

We're looking for someone who is:

A Consultant — You identify challenges and provide credible, practical solutions.

A Trainer — You can make safety requirements understandable, relevant, and engaging.

A Field Professional — You enjoy being onsite, observing work, asking questions, and interacting with employees.

A Relationship Builder — You establish trust and credibility with clients quickly.

A Problem Solver — You don't simply identify what's wrong; you help determine how to make it better.

A Communicator — You can confidently communicate with everyone from frontline employees to senior leadership.

Most importantly, you understand that effective safety is more than compliance. It's about people, communication, accountability, leadership, and continuous improvement.

Why This Opportunity?

This is not a traditional safety position tied to one project or facility.

You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple clients, industries, facilities, and operational environments, providing significant variety and professional development.

This role offers the opportunity to:

Expand your safety expertise across multiple industries

Conduct meaningful audits and assessments

Deliver professional safety training

Build lasting client relationships

Solve diverse and challenging safety problems

Strengthen your consulting and presentation skills

Work alongside experienced safety and operational leaders

Make an impact across multiple organizations—not just one job site

If you enjoy variety, meeting new people, solving problems, and never having the exact same day twice, this opportunity could be an excellent fit.

Employment Requirements

Candidates must successfully complete applicable:

Background check

Pre-employment drug screening

Verification of education, certifications, and qualifications

Valid driver's license and satisfactory driving record

Client-specific onboarding and qualification requirements

Travel throughout multiple client markets is required.

Some assignments may require extended hours, nights, weekends, or non-traditional schedules based on client and project requirements.
