About The Position

The posting describes two role levels: Safety Management Consultant and Senior Safety Management Consultant. The Safety Management Consultant provides risk evaluation and safety consultation to internal and external stakeholders, supporting efforts to reduce work-related injuries and workers’ compensation costs. The role promotes safety culture, conducts risk assessments, identifies and delivers training, and recommends hazard controls and risk improvements. The Senior Safety Management Consultant provides advanced occupational safety and health evaluations and consultation, independently supporting larger, more complex, higher-risk accounts. The senior role also delivers technical expertise, mentors other consultants, and supports internal decision-making and workplace safety performance. Both roles involve evaluating account risks, analyzing loss data, advising customers on workplace safety and health practices, collaborating with internal stakeholders, maintaining customer and agent relationships, providing non-complex Industrial Hygiene services, and traveling to policyholder locations. The consultant role also emphasizes on-site visits, professional development, and identifying and delivering training. The senior role additionally develops comprehensive service and safety plans, mentors and orients less senior teammates, delivers technical consultation in areas of expertise, and manages special projects and departmental initiatives. The consultant position pays $64,605–$96,907 per year, commensurate with experience. The senior consultant position pays $75,358–$113,043 per year, commensurate with experience. Both roles require field travel within Maryland and surrounding states, a valid driver’s license, and the ability to identify when PPE is needed at a work site. The stated physical demands include regularly sitting, using hands and arms, occasionally standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, crouching or crawling, and occasionally lifting up to 30 pounds. When working in the office, the noise level is moderate.
