About The Position

The Safety Manager for EdgePro Services is part of a team responsible for driving long-term client success and improving client safety performance year over year. The position serves as a strategic advisor and operational partner, learning each client’s operational pressures, risk tolerance, and business objectives to develop practical, sustainable safety solutions within agreed service boundaries and Safety Plus’s operational guidelines.

The Safety Manager works with clients to assess, design, and enhance safety management systems; conduct site evaluations; support regulatory compliance; and deliver training, reviews, and actionable recommendations. The role also manages client relationships and safety initiatives, uses data and audit findings to promote continuous improvement, and performs program administration and documentation across multiple client accounts.

The role supports clients in sectors including manufacturing, construction, industrial operations, mining, warehousing, transportation, and energy. It combines field-based client support with office-based work and requires approximately 60% travel, with roughly half of that travel potentially involving overnight stays depending on client location and project requirements.

• Strong understanding of OSHA regulations and experience applying them in diverse client settings.
• Knowledge of USDOT, MSHA, Industrial Hygiene, and Online Prequalification (Avetta/ISNetworld) requirements, or ability to quickly learn and apply them.
• Ability to analyze data, identify trends, and translate insights into actionable safety improvements.
• Strong documentation and reporting skills, including professional report writing, objective and defensible observation language, business review presentations, clear action items, and practical recommendations.
• Professional, clear written communication, including client-facing email and follow-up correspondence.
• Strong technology aptitude and ability to learn and use software platforms, safety management systems, CRM/task management tools, and related technologies.
• Disciplined organization, accurate documentation, scheduling, follow-up, task management, and prioritization across multiple clients and projects.
• Even-tempered and resilient under pressure, with the ability to work effectively with people at all levels and foster collaborative relationships.
• Ability to independently assess client questions and operational concerns, identify missing information, ask targeted follow-up questions, and develop practical, risk-based recommendations.
• Ability to independently research unfamiliar regulatory, operational, and compliance topics, synthesize credible sources, and provide timely, accurate, actionable guidance.
• Strong business and risk awareness, including the ability to assess client risk tolerance, operational pressures, and organizational maturity when recommending safety solutions.
• Strong critical thinking and operational awareness to balance regulatory compliance, practical field application, and client business realities.
• Focus on meaningful risk reduction and sustainable program improvement rather than a check-the-box approach.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with disciplined recordkeeping and the ability to prioritize competing responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.
• Regular travel to client sites is required; travel is approximately 60% of the time, and roughly half may involve overnight stays.
