Corporate Safety Manager

Department: Corporate Risk & Safety

Reports To: Director of Risk & Safety (Corporate)

Travel: Approximately 25–40% (3–4 full weeks per quarter)

POSITION SUMMARY

The Corporate Safety Program Manager plays a key role in advancing the organization’s safety culture and risk management strategy across multiple trades and districts. This is a corporate governance and program development role, not a site-based safety position.

As part of the Corporate Risk & Safety team, this individual designs, implements, and standardizes enterprise-wide safety programs, policies, and training initiatives. Using data analysis, incident trends, and root-cause insights, they ensure consistent compliance, communication, and continuous improvement throughout the organization.

The ideal candidate brings both field credibility and corporate acumen — combining hands-on construction experience with experience in a district or regional safety management capacity where they have led program development, training, and policy implementation.

• Partner with leadership to align safety programs with operational goals and strategic direction.

• Deliver executive-level presentations and written communications outlining performance, trends, and initiatives.

Training, Collaboration & Engagement
