About The Position

Chesapeake Employers’ Insurance Company is hiring for Safety Management Consultant and Senior Safety Management Consultant roles. Both positions provide occupational safety and risk consultation to internal and external stakeholders, supporting the reduction of workplace injuries and workers’ compensation costs through risk evaluations, safety recommendations, training, and improvements to workplace safety culture. The Safety Management Consultant provides risk evaluation and safety consultation services, participates in on-site account visits, documents evaluation findings, analyzes loss data, identifies hazards and control methods, and helps customers improve safety practices. The role delivers training, collaborates with internal stakeholders, maintains customer and agent relationships, and may provide non-complex industrial hygiene services, including noise and ergonomics assessments. It requires travel to policyholder locations. The Senior Safety Management Consultant independently serves larger, more complex, higher-risk accounts. This role provides advanced evaluations and technical consultation, develops comprehensive service and safety plans, analyzes loss trends, mentors and trains less senior consultants, supports internal decision-making, and manages special projects. It also maintains customer and agent relationships, collaborates with internal partners, may provide non-complex industrial hygiene services, and travels to policyholder locations. Both roles require effective use of Microsoft 365 and role-specific platforms, a valid driver’s license, and the ability to travel for field work. The work includes office and field settings. When in the office, the environment has a moderate noise level. The positions may involve sitting, using hands and arms, standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, and occasionally lifting up to 30 pounds. The roles are hybrid and offer a competitive benefits package.
