Safety & Training Manager

Ready to Make a Real Difference?

Are you someone who takes pride in the details, speaks up when it matters, and isn't afraid to take the lead when something's off? Are you someone who values coaching over criticizing?

At High Plains Steel Services, we're not just looking for someone to fill a seat. We're looking for a boots-on-the-ground leader who lives and breathes safety to fill our Safety & Training Manager position.

This isn't just about keeping people compliant; it's about keeping people alive, respected, and working at their best.

What Makes High Plains Steel Services a Great Place to Work?

At High Plains Steel Services, our reputation is built on excellence, safety, and teamwork. We work on diverse commercial and industrial projects that challenge your technical skills and reward your dedication.

You're not just taking on a new job when you join our team. You're becoming part of a family that values your expertise.

We take pride in our culture which is built on three ideas:

Give a Damn: We care about the details and the people doing the work.

Build Trust: We follow through on commitments and do what we say we will do.

Stand Behind the Work: We own our responsibilities and hold ourselves accountable.

When safety improves, it means someone avoided an injury. That's the real impact of this role.

A Day in the Life as the Safety & Training Manager
