You should be comfortable engaging employees, coaching behaviors, challenging unsafe practices, working alongside project leadership, and representing Velocity Safety Advisors and our clients with professionalism and integrity.
We value safety professionals who lead through influence, build trust, communicate effectively, solve problems, and understand the realities of field operations.
Most importantly, you understand that compliance is the foundation—not the finish line.

Candidates must be willing to successfully complete applicable:
- Background check
- Pre-employment drug screening
