About The Position

Tri-City Group is seeking an Organizational Safety Training Specialist to design, coordinate, and deliver safety training across all Tri-City Group operating companies in Davenport, IA. This role ensures our workforce is trained, current, and confident in the skills that keep them safe — from OSHA-required courses and task-specific field training to specialized programs like MSHA and DOT-related vehicle and equipment safety. The ideal candidate is an engaging presenter who is equally comfortable leading a classroom session, running a hands-on field demonstration, and welcoming new hires into the Tri-City Group family on day one. This is a highly visible, cross-company role that partners closely with the Director of Safety & Training, the DOT Compliance Coordinator, the Talent Development Administrator, and operating company leadership to ensure consistent, high-quality safety training.
