Health, Safety, and Environment Manager

Salary:
$100,000
- $115,000 On-site

Location:
Regular site travel to Princeton, Lavington, and Armstrong, BC is required. Preferably located near one of these operations. Ready to be at the heart of a zero-carbon energy future? As the Health, Safety and Environment Manager at Drax, you’ll be a highly visible, boots-on-the-ground HSE partner supporting our Princeton, Lavington, and Armstrong operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to stay close to day-to-day operations: spending time in the field, building relationships with employees and site leaders, identifying hazards, coaching safe work practices, and helping teams turn HSE expectations into practical action. Working closely with site leadership and operations teams, you’ll serve as the day-to-day HSE resource across the three sites, supporting compliance, risk management, incident prevention, investigations, training, and continuous improvement. You’ll have support and connection to Drax’s broader HSE function while remaining focused on what is happening at the site level each day. Regular travel between Princeton, Lavington, and Armstrong is an important part of the role. Why join Drax? At Drax, we’re not just generating power; we’re transforming it. We’re a diverse, committed team working together to create a brighter, more sustainable future. When you join us, you’ll find:
• A Clear Purpose: Be part of a company at the forefront of sustainable energy, making a real difference for the planet and our communities.
• Growth Opportunities: We believe in developing our people.
• Comprehensive

Benefits:
From day one, you’ll receive competitive wages, comprehensive health and dental benefits, and an RRSP matching plan to support your financial goals. You’ll also participate in a company bonus plan that rewards overall Drax performance and safety.
• A Supportive Team: Work in an workplace where continuous learning is encouraged, and your contributions are valued. We’re a ‘can-do’ kind of place, empowering you to make informed decisions and do the right thing. Your day-to-day duties as an HSE Manager:
• Cultivate a “Safety First” culture with a “Zero Harm” mindset.
• Support and implement the company's safety culture, policies, and procedures.
• Oversee risk assessments and mitigation measures on-site prior to the commencement of projects.
• Implement corrective and preventive measures to ensure a safe and healthy environment at the organization’s sites.
• Develop proposals for corrective or preventive measures and investigate, analyze, and routinely review accidents or near misses within the organization.
• Through strong leadership and by setting an example, ensure that the company’s safety policies are adhered to at the site level.




• Enforce work safety permits as necessary at all sites.
• Ensure that employees are well-informed about the organization’s working, environmental, and safety policies.
• Encourage teamwork at all levels of the organization, particularly across functions, while empowering individuals to contribute.
• Foster an environment of data-driven continuous improvement in all aspects of the departments.
• Engage all department employees in safety issues and establish high personal standards through a highly visible, hands-on management style.
• Ensure that regular emergency response procedures are effective by providing written policies and ensuring that managers and employees are always prepared.
• Manage key external interfaces, including primary responsibility for WSBC compliance, consultants, legislation, and, where appropriate, local community representatives.
• Maintain safety statistics and create reports that reflect site performance for relevant parties, such as upper management.
• Responsible for implementing the DBI Safety policy and safety documentation at the designated location.
• Collaborate with the VP of HSE to drive continuous improvements in safety performance across the designated location.
• Assist in the development of DBI management systems and, in partnership with the site team, develop site-level risk assessments and operating procedures.
• Coordinate with operations, engineering, and maintenance departments, and collaborate with HR on health policy development and implementation.
• Ensure adherence to budgeted financial management and controls for all safety activities. What you’ll bring: To excel in this vital role, you’ll need:
• This role is best suited to someone who enjoys being out in the operation and wants to remain closely involved in the day-to-day work, not someone looking for a primarily corporate, executive, or desk-based HSE position.
• Approximately 5+ years of progressive HSE experience in an industrial, manufacturing, forestry, energy, or similarly operational environment, including experience influencing safe work at the site level. Previous HSE leadership experience is an asset, but we also welcome experienced HSE Advisors, Coordinators, or Specialists who are ready to take the next step into a hands-on manager role.
• A CRSP designation, Occupational Health and Safety certificate/diploma, or a relevant degree in safety, environmental sciences, occupational health and safety management,



environmental health, environmental engineering, public health, or a related field is preferred.
• One to two years of experience in operations, maintenance, and engineering.
• A credible and robust leader with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of the organization.
• Strong teamwork ethic with the willingness to travel between sites and respond during off-hours in the event of an onsite incident.
• Capable of climbing ladders and stairs and working outdoors in various environments.
• Experience in conducting a variety of training classes.
• Ability to mentor, coach, encourage, hold team members accountable, and set high standards in all aspects of the department’s work.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to apply sound business and commercial knowledge in a production setting.
• Proficient in developing technical documents.
• Certification by WSBC is a plus. How we act at Drax: Our culture is built on a few core beliefs that guide everything we do:
