Summary:

Field Safety - Senior Personal Safety Professional

This posting is for a Personal Safety Professional (PSP) supporting the Logistics and Storage organization from Anchorage, Alaska. The selected PSP will provide safety oversight and technical support for West-Northwest Area Terminal Operations across Alaska and Washington. Working closely with Terminal Leadership and Operations, the PSP will help achieve safety goals and objectives through day-to-day operational support, project-related work, monthly safety meetings and initiatives, project reviews, safety training, auditing, and safety program management. The PSP will also participate in emergency response events and drills. Because the role supports multiple Regions and Areas across a large geographic footprint, the successful candidate must be effective at working independently, prioritizing competing demands, and managing responsibilities with limited direct oversight.

Travel is estimated at 40-50%. Pending business needs, asset growth and resource fluctuation, the position coverage areas (outside of the host area) may change to support the business.

  • Provide safety training and evaluate employees' Life Critical skills. Assess safety risks within facilities and project scopes, then develop and execute appropriate risk-mitigation plans.
  • Support project-related work by reviewing and approving Commissioning, Decommissioning, and Recommissioning Plans; Management of Change documentation; Energy Isolation plans; and other safety-support plans. Support the field execution of safety programs, including Life Critical, Contractor Safety, Industrial Hygiene, and AWARE.
  • Review Life Critical tasks, work permits, excavations, and lift plans to identify and correct deficiencies and opportunities for improvement. Conduct audits and job-site visits to identify and mitigate hazards and address compliance or conformance issues.
  • Provide input in the development and review of operations and safety procedures and standards. Serve as an advocate for front line employees to support, educate and help them work safely.
  • Respond to emergency events and serve within the Incident Command System (ICS). Responsibilities may include air monitoring, developing health and safety plans, and performing other response actions as needed. Perform other duties as assigned.
  • Mentor less experienced members of the team.
  • Support Operations in maintaining or pursuing OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs certification.


Education and Experience:

Minimum Qualifications:

  • High School diploma or GED required with 6 years of relevant experience or Bachelor's degree with 4 or more years of relevant experience.
