About Commercial Tire
At Commercial Tire, we believe great people build great companies. As a proudly employee-owned organization, every team member has a stake in our success. Full-time employees enjoy outstanding benefits — medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, stock ownership opportunities, a strong 401(k) plan, and generous paid time off. If you're looking for a career where you're valued, supported, and set up to grow, we'd love to meet you.
About the Role
The Field Safety Specialist is on the front lines of keeping our people safe. You provide technical safety and health support across the business, with an emphasis on behavioral-based programs that can be measured and monitored organization-wide. You'll travel a defined territory along the I-15 corridor — from Idaho Falls south through Pocatello, Twin Falls, and into Utah, including the Wasatch Front, Orem, Roosevelt, and east to Vernal — visiting 13 Commercial Tire locations to conduct safety observations, coach store teams, identify hazards, and drive consistent safety practices.
You'll develop safety, employee health, and environmental programs that keep the Company compliant with general and industry-specific standards, and ensure all OSHA, MSHA, and related regulations and reporting requirements are met. This is a field-first role: your office is your vehicle, and your impact is measured in the people who go home safely every day.
What You'll Do
- Provide technical safety and health support and information to business and corporate teams
- Write safety and health programs and policies, with a focus on behavioral-based safety
- Identify company safety training needs, then develop and coordinate the training programs to meet them
- Partner with company leaders to set annual safety and health goals
- Build safety meeting content around tire-industry hazards and our most common accident themes
- Conduct on-site safety inspections and ensure prompt, documented communication of any issues
- Follow up with leadership when corrective action plans aren't completed
- Coordinate external safety inspections (BSU-OSHA, WC carriers, etc.) and own the internal communication and corrective action plans for issues found
- Formulate, promote, and ensure compliance with safety policies and procedures
- Keep the Company compliant with OSHA, DOT, EPA, and other regulations — and stay current as they change
- Work with store managers and Safety Coordinators so training and coaching reach every employee and monthly safety meetings stay relevant and worthwhile
- Coach managers on how to run safety meetings, and attend at least two per location each year
- Make sure monthly safety meeting agendas, content, and quizzes hit required topics and are documented
- Lead RCCAs on post-incident investigations with managers, and follow up with Market Managers on corrective actions and accountability
- Manage the company-wide driver's program
- Lead the Safety Coordinator program — coordinator selection, records management, safety assessment requirements, and coordinator training
- Manage safety-related technology solutions
- Write company-wide safety messages for business communications, and participate in and lead training
- Provide investigation training to managers and safety coordinators annually (or as needed) so all accidents and injuries are properly documented
- Schedule and coordinate regional safety trainings — at least two per year, per region
- Report monthly on incident frequency and general safety compliance by location
- Take on other duties as assigned
Your Territory
13 locations across two states. Local Utah stores are visited weekly; Idaho locations are covered on planned quarterly sweeps, so expect some overnight travel. This role is 80% field time.
