Description

Are you a Safety Manager who thrives both behind the scenes and in the field? At HELIX Environmental Planning, we're looking for a dynamic Safety Manager who can build strong programs, influence culture, and help keep our employees safe wherever their work takes them. This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on Safety Manager who enjoys developing policies and training programs just as much as conducting field audits, visiting jobsites, and engaging directly with employees. The Safety Manager reports to the Human Resources Director and plays a key leadership role in strengthening HELIX's positive safety culture.

Day in the Life

One day, you're visiting jobsites, conducting safety observations, coaching field teams, and identifying opportunities to improve safety performance. The next, you're updating health and safety policies, developing training content, and completing safety documentation for proposals and client requirements. As a trusted Safety Manager, you'll work closely with leadership, project teams, and employees to create a culture where safety is integrated into everything we do.

What You'll Do

• Lead and manage all aspects of HELIX's Safety Program.
• Develop, implement, and maintain safety policies and procedures.
• Create and deliver corporate and field safety training programs.
• Conduct new-hire safety orientations.
• Perform regular field audits, safety inspections, and jobsite observations.
• Lead safety committee meetings and track corrective actions.
• Assist with project-specific safety plans, JHAs, and work plans.
• Support proposal and contract teams by completing safety questionnaires and documentation.
• Manage safety records, reporting, KPIs, and program effectiveness metrics.
• Maintain third-party safety platforms such as ISNetworld and Avetta.
• Oversee workers' compensation claims, investigations, and injury prevention efforts.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA and Cal/OSHA regulations.
• Provide safety updates and recommendations to company leadership.

Salary will be based on qualifications and/or experience, with a robust benefits package. Expected starting pay range of $110,000 to $150,000.
