U.S. Safety Manager

Convergint

About The Position

The U.S. Safety Manager is responsible for leading the consistent implementation, oversight, and effectiveness of Convergint’s safety programs across assigned U.S. regions and CTCs. This role provides national governance, coaching, and oversight for safety execution across U.S. regions and CTCs, ensuring alignment with global safety standards and regulatory requirements. This role is also responsible for managing operational risk within a tiered safety support model that emphasizes dedicated field safety execution at the CTC level. Rather than serving as the primary day-to-day safety executor, the U.S. Safety Manager ensures that CTC-level safety resources are properly aligned, effective, and operating in accordance with global safety standards and ISO-aligned safety management system principles. The U.S. Safety Manager plays a key role in shifting the organization from reactive incident response to proactive risk management by strengthening accountability, improving visibility, and reinforcing leadership ownership of safety.
