About The Position

This posting is for a Personal Safety Professional (PSP) supporting the Logistics and Storage organization from Anchorage, Alaska. The selected PSP will provide safety oversight and technical support for West–Northwest Area Terminal Operations across Alaska and Washington. Working closely with Terminal Leadership and Operations, the PSP will help achieve safety goals and objectives through day-to-day operational support, project-related work, monthly safety meetings and initiatives, project reviews, safety training, auditing, and safety program management.

Because the role supports multiple Regions and Areas across a large geographic footprint, the successful candidate must be effective at working independently, prioritizing competing demands, and managing responsibilities with limited direct oversight.
