About The Position

Meeco Sullivan is seeking a proactive and experienced National Health & Safety Manager to serve as the safety expert across all divisions, leading local implementation of corporate safety standards while making a direct impact on the wellbeing of workers across four facilities. Reporting directly to the President and supported by Tuckahoe Holdings’ corporate safety framework, this role operates within established corporate policies — with influence over how programs and procedures are structured, implemented, and run at each site. The successful candidate will bring their own expertise and judgment to build programs that work in practice, support communication channels that strengthen local outcomes, and lead from the floor as a visible, trusted presence who can clearly explain the “why” behind every safety requirement. Every decision made in this role has a direct impact on the safety and lives of the people who work across Meeco Sullivan’s four facilities. You’ll be the expert others turn to — building trust with front-line workers and leadership alike and drive the safety culture of a company that takes this work seriously.
