Health, Safety, Environment Supervisor

Position Summary

This high-autonomy role requires a strategic architect and executor to lead North American Health, Safety, and Environmental functions. As a "Department of One," the successful candidate will own the end-to-end lifecycle of HSE programs across expanding manufacturing operations in the US and Canada. This position requires a unique blend of corporate policy development and "boots-on-the-ground" tactical execution.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Program Ownership

• Serve as the definitive Subject Matter Expert and primary point of contact for all HSE matters across North America.
• Author, implement, and evolve regional HSE manuals, SOPs, and emergency response protocols to ensure a unified safety culture.
• Maintain a visible presence through regular, hands-on safety audits and risk assessments while providing real-time coaching and corrective actions to plant & remote personnel.

Technical Compliance and Risk Mitigation

• Drive seamless compliance with OSHA (US) and OHS (Canada) regulations at federal, state, and provincial levels.
• Personally lead all incident investigations using Root-Cause Analysis and manage the workers' compensation process from initial report to return-to-work.
• Oversee all environmental permits while leading sustainability initiatives to reduce the North American resource footprint.

Data-Driven Leadership

• Develop and track critical HSE Key Performance Indicators to measure program effectiveness and identify emerging safety trends.
• Formulate and present data-backed recommendations to the leadership team to drive continuous improvement and organizational alignment.
• Maintain comprehensive reporting systems that provide transparency into regional safety performance and regulatory status.

Training and Culture Advocacy

• Design and deliver high-impact safety training and "Toolbox Talks" tailored to both front-line workers and executive leadership.
• Facilitate and energize local safety committees to foster a "floor-up" safety mentality where every employee acts as a safety stakeholder.

Qualifications

• Apply 5 years of HSE experience in a manufacturing environment with a demonstrable track record of scaling multi-site programs as an individual contributor.
• Utilize deep technical expertise in Machine Guarding, LOTO, Fall Protection, and HAZMAT.
• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related technical field.
• Possess CSP (Certified Safety Professional) or CRSP (Canadian Registered Safety Professional) credentials which are highly preferred.
• Travel up to 20% - 30% to maintain high-visibility leadership at regional sites.

The Ideal Mindset

• Thrive on building gold-standard programs from the ground up without requiring a pre-existing roadmap.
• Maintain the comfort level to present a data-driven safety strategy in the boardroom and walk a production line in steel-toed boots.
• Excel in an environment where individual impact directly correlates to the well-being of the workforce.
• Constantly seek ways to streamline compliance and safety processes to maximize impact across multiple jurisdictions.

The Opportunity

This is more than a compliance role; it is an invitation to define what safety looks like for a growing manufacturing leader. This position offers the autonomy to make high-level decisions, the authority to implement organizational change, and the backing of a leadership team that views HSE as a core business value
