The Spirit of the Position:

The Field Safety & Training Manager is a hybrid safety and operations support role focused on improving safety performance at high-risk locations within the New York market. Reporting directly to the Director of Safety and working in close partnership with Safety leadership, General Managers, and Operations Leadership, this position serves as an embedded field resource responsible for reducing risk, strengthening leadership accountability, and improving frontline execution.

Unlike traditional safety roles focused primarily on compliance or broad market oversight, this position provides hands-on intervention, coaching, and targeted training within a small number of high-risk operations. Success is measured through incident reduction, behavior change, leadership engagement, and sustained operational improvement.

• Focus on measurable behavior change and performance improvement.
• Conduct or support new-hire driver evaluations at assigned locations and other designated high-risk operations.

Leadership Accountability & Development

• Partner with supervisors and managers to strengthen safety ownership and execution.
• Evaluate leadership presence, coaching effectiveness, and accountability practices.
• Provide direct feedback and recommendations to improve safety performance.
• Escalate recurring risks, performance concerns, and breakdowns in execution when necessary.

Market Safety Support

• Support New York market leadership with targeted safety initiatives tied to identified risks, incident trends, or operational exposures.

• Document observations, participation, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement.

Incident & Risk Management

• Support operational reviews and response efforts following significant incidents.
• Conduct risk-based evaluations of employees, processes, and work environments.
• Identify emerging trends and recommend actions to reduce future exposure.
• Maintain clear documentation of field observations, coaching activities, and recommendations.

Experience:

• 2-5 years of experience in operations, safety, valet operations, transportation, hospitality, or similar field-based environments.
• Valid driver's license with the ability to safely operate passenger vehicles.
• Experience in safety, EHS, risk management, or loss prevention preferred.
