Property and Safety Risk Auditor

General Purpose

PACS is experiencing rapid growth and is committed to making safety a foundational element of our culture. We are developing a best-in-class safety program that goes beyond regulatory compliance to proactive prevention, cultural integration, and measurable injury reduction.

The Property and Safety Risk Auditor will play a pivotal role in this mission — leading facility audits, identifying and mitigating risks, influencing behavior, and collaborating across leadership levels. We’re seeking somebody who is resourceful, solutions-oriented, and thrives in an evolving environment where they’ll grow alongside the business.

Essential Duties

• Conduct comprehensive safety and property audits across all PACS facilities, with a target of two visits per facility per year.
• Evaluate facility conditions, systems, and operations against applicable regulatory frameworks (OSHA, NFPA Life Safety Code, state/local requirements) and PACS internal standards.
• Inspect key risk domains including:
  • Slip, trip, and fall hazards (interior/exterior)
  • Patient/resident handling and positioning
  • Combative resident scenarios and restraint ergonomics
  • Fire protection systems (sprinklers, alarms, suppression)
  • Emergency lighting/generator systems
  • Electrical and mechanical safety
  • Kitchen/food service suppression systems
  • Exterior site conditions (walkways, lighting, access, exits)
  • Documentation, logs, preventive maintenance, staff training.
• Review documentation and records: injury logs, OSHA 300/300A, IIPP/injury prevention programs, audit reports, maintenance schedules, training completion, emergency drills.
• Identify hazards, generate clear audit findings, partner with facility leadership to develop, implement, and monitor corrective action plans.
• Provide photo documentation, digital summarised reports, status tracking of open items, and follow-up verification.
• Aggregate data across audits to identify trends, systemic risks, and opportunities for proactive prevention.
• Partner with the VP of Safety & Risk Management to develop and refine audit tools, reporting dashboards, and predictive metrics that drive down incident frequency and severity.
• Champion the adoption of a strong safety culture — engaging facility leadership and staff, coaching toward safe behaviors, and elevating safety as a core value at PACS.
• Travel extensively: anticipate multiple overnight stays, site visits across geographic regions, ability to adapt to busy schedule and shifting priorities.

Required Qualifications

• Foundational understanding of OSHA standards, NFPA Life Safety Code, or healthcare facility safety practices (training provided for the right candidate).
• Strong observational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to document findings clearly and concisely.
• Comfortable working independently in the field and collaborating remotely with a corporate safety team.
• Self-directed learner with the ability to adapt to new systems, tools, and procedures.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and digital reporting tools.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel frequently (up to 75%).

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Healthcare Safety Professional (CHSP), or equivalent safety certification.
• Experience in skilled nursing, assisted living, long-term care, or health-care affiliated facilities.
• Familiarity with safety programs such as Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), Workplace Violence Prevention (WVPP), Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) programs, Respiratory Protection, and Ergonomics (resident handling, slip/fall prevention).
• Experience coaching or training site leadership and staff on safety behaviors, culture change, and continuous improvement.
• Experience working in a rapidly growing organization, comfortable with ambiguity and evolving processes.
