Drive the zero-accident culture on a major, long-term utility infrastructure project for one of Canada's leading construction companies.

Health and Safety Advisor — Lead Safety on One of Quebec's Largest Infrastructure Builds
This role may also be known as: HSE Advisor, Construction Safety Advisor, Site Health and Safety Coordinator, EHS Advisor.

You won't be pushing paper from a trailer. You'll be the on-site safety authority for one of Quebec's most significant infrastructure builds, embedded in a complex heavy civil environment involving marine work, lifting, excavation, and dozens of concurrent activities across multiple subcontractors. If you're the kind of safety professional who earns credibility by being on the ground rather than behind a desk, this project gives you the scale to prove it.

The project itself is the real draw here. Given its size and duration, this isn't a short-term assignment or a one-and-done safety audit contract. It's a long-term seat with genuine stability and a clear runway to grow within a well-established health and safety organization, including mentoring newer team members as the site matures.

What separates this role from a typical site safety posting is the scope. You'll work directly alongside project, engineering, and construction leadership, shaping how safety gets built into planning rather than bolted on afterward. The complexity of the site, marine work, heavy lifting, excavation, and constant subcontractor turnover, means no two days look the same, and the autonomy to make real calls in the field is built into the job.

Relevant OHS certifications such as ASP Construction, first aid, lockout/tagout, and confined space training
