What You'll Actually Do
  • Serve as the primary safety leader for all regional locations, partnering closely with Regional VP's, General Managers and field teams
  • Identify, track, and reduce at-risk behaviors that contribute to injuries, incidents, and property damage
  • Ensure safety practices, procedures, audits, and measurements are consistently applied across the region
  • Conduct regular site visits and audits, translating findings into clear corrective actions that actually get done
  • Support managers in reviewing operational and safety reports (including out-of-gas and incident data) and implementing prevention strategies
  • Deliver and coordinate safety and compliance training for field personnel, including required certifications and refreshers
  • Ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, with particular attention to requirements (OSHA, EPA, NFPA, DOT, state agencies)
  • Assist with incident investigations, root cause analysis, and follow-up actions
  • Partner with corporate safety, risk, and insurance teams to support claims management and loss control initiatives
  • Review new or modified facilities, equipment, and systems to ensure safety and regulatory readiness
What You'll Do in Your First 30 Days
  • Visit key locations to observe operations, meet frontline teams, and understand site-specific risks
  • Review recent incidents, near misses, audit results, and claims affecting the region
  • Assess current training completion and identify immediate compliance or skills gaps
  • Establish trusted working relationships with General Managers and regional leadership
Insurance, Claims & Risk Support

  • Familiarity with West Coast specific regulatory environments (e.g., California OSHA/EPA)
  • Experience supporting claims, loss control efforts, or insurance coordination
  • Background in technical or field-based training
Company Culture
