• Transition ownership of established safety programs back to operations while continuing to provide oversight, support and follow-up.
• Coach Plant Managers, supervisors and operational leaders on Health & Safety expectations and best practices.
• Build accountability for safety within operations rather than having the H&S function own all day-to-day activities.
• Monitor Health & Safety KPIs and site performance to identify locations requiring additional support.
• Increase onsite presence and provide additional coaching when a facility is experiencing declining performance or elevated risk.
• Support sites during major incidents, serious injuries or significant Health & Safety concerns.
• Provide guidance related to incident investigations, corrective actions and prevention strategies when required.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and support the development of a strong prevention culture.
• Maintain regular visibility within the facilities while operating at a strategic regional level.
• Work collaboratively with the broader Health & Safety team to maintain consistency across the organization.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience implementing and rolling out Health & Safety or prevention programs across multiple locations.
• Proven ability to coach operational teams through implementation and successfully transition program ownership back to the business.
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety KPIs, prevention plans, corrective actions and continuous improvement.
• Strong coaching, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to influence leaders and employees without relying on direct reporting relationships.
• Experience working closely with Plant Managers, supervisors and operational leadership.
• Solid judgment, autonomy and ability to prioritize across multiple locations.
• Ability to identify higher-risk or underperforming locations and adjust priorities accordingly.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  
  
  
  
• Comfortable working both strategically and directly within manufacturing environments.
• Ability and willingness to travel regularly between sites within Quebec.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within food manufacturing, bakery, CPG or a similar manufacturing environment .
• Experience supporting a large employee population across multiple facilities.
• Experience within a corporate or regional Health & Safety structure.
• Experience improving Health & Safety performance at underperforming facilities.
• Experience leading organizational change or introducing new prevention initiatives.
• Strong background in coaching leaders and building operational ownership of safety programs.
• Experience with reliable incident response, investigations and corrective action planning.

Location & Travel

The role supports approximately five locations across Quebec, including facilities in the Montreal, Laval and Sainte-Marie/Beauce areas .

Candidates located near Quebec City, Sainte-Marie or Beauce may be particularly well positioned, as the largest and highest-risk facility is located in Sainte-Marie.

Candidates based in Montreal or Laval will also be considered and should be comfortable with regular travel to the Sainte-Marie area, approximately every other week depending on business needs.

Travel frequency will vary based on site performance, operational priorities and risk.

Contract & Compensation

• 18-month contract
• Maternity leave coverage
• No benefits
• Target compensation of approximately $120,000–$130,000
• Flexibility up to approximately $135,000–$140,000 for an exceptional candidate
• $10,000 contract completion bonus
• If the contract is terminated early by the employer, one month’s notice will be provided and the completion bonus will remain payable

This is an excellent opportunity for a Health & Safety leader who enjoys working at both the strategic and operational levels and who knows how to build sustainable safety ownership within a multi-site manufacturing environment.Gestionnaire regional(e), Sante et Securite – Quebec
