About The Position

The manager will effectively communicate C&W’s safety culture and operating philosophies, assist in identifying and mitigating potential losses, and develop and audit plans to ensure their effectiveness. A key part of the role includes maintaining and updating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for safe work practices and equipment, and using them for training. The manager will also ensure coordination of inspections by regulatory agencies, minimize deficiencies, and work with Regional Engineering Leaders and site management on corrective actions. Maintaining logs and documentation for permits and regulatory requirements, reviewing accidents and incidents, and conducting field audits are also essential functions. The role supports the Workers Compensation (WC) claims tracking, investigation, and management process, liaising with the WC Program Manager and benefits group on injury management and rehabilitation. Compliance with EH&S record keeping, including corporate and regulatory requirements, is crucial. The manager will participate in site inspections and third-party audits, travel as required, and develop and maintain the online safety training platform to meet industry standards and OSHA requirements. Collaboration with other service lines and global EH&S teams is expected for program implementation. The role also involves reviewing EH&S-specific policies and procedures, supporting sites in preparing Emergency Procedures manuals, and developing standards for common environmental issues in commercial buildings. Attending new business presentations to discuss EH&S topics is also part of the responsibilities.
