Safety Manager

Edmonton–Calgary Corridor, Alberta | Scrap Recycling / Heavy Industry

We are seeking a Safety Manager to support multiple scrap-recycling facilities across Alberta. This is a strong opportunity for an experienced industrial safety professional who wants to work hands-on with hazard identification, machinery safety, incident investigations, frontline engagement, and practical risk reduction.

This role supports operations by partnering with facility leadership, addressing workplace hazards, and ensuring safety improvements last. The team is looking for a collaborative safety professional who can build trust, influence without direct authority, and operate independently with safety as the top priority.

What You’ll Do

- Support four primary facilities around Edmonton, Camrose, and Calgary, plus two smaller locations.
- Conduct hands-on safety assessments and inspections involving heavy machinery, mobile equipment, and material handling.
- Partner with site managers and frontline employees to implement practical corrective actions.
- Investigate incidents, identify contributing factors, and help prevent recurrence.
- Prioritize significant risks and direct available resources toward meaningful safety improvements.
- Audit and reinforce corrective actions to sustain improvements across facilities.
- Support regulatory compliance, employee training, contractor safety, and WCB/return-to-work activities.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

- Approximately 5–7+ years of progressive industrial health and safety experience.




- Relevant post-secondary education in occupational safety, environmental science, engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience addressing hazards involving heavy equipment, moving machinery, and material handling.
- Strong risk assessment, incident investigation, and practical corrective-action skills.
- A collaborative approach and demonstrated ability to influence operational leaders and employees without direct authority.
- Ability to manage a multi-site territory independently, travel regularly, and work comfortably in noisy, dusty, dirty industrial environments.

Preferred:

- Scrap recycling, metals manufacturing, steelmaking, or comparable heavy industrial experience.
- Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) designation or progress toward certification.
- Previous responsibility for safety across multiple facilities.
- Experience prioritizing risk mitigation within limited budgets and resources.
- Familiarity with Alberta occupational health and safety requirements.
- Experience supporting WCB claims and return-to-work activities.
- Demonstrated success sustaining improvements through inspections, audits, and frontline follow-up.




- Experience adapting to different facility management styles and building productive working relationships.

Compensation & Schedule

Compensation: CAD $115,000 target base salary; higher base may be considered based on qualifications and client approval.

Bonus: 20% target Annual Performance Incentive, bringing target annual cash compensation to approximately CAD $138,000 at the stated base. Bonus payout amount is not guaranteed.

Schedule: Primarily daytime work, with approximately 30% travel, also described as typically two to three site-visit days weekly, and remote work otherwise. Must be able to reach a facility by the end of the day when needed.

Benefits: Relocation support available. Additional benefits, vehicle/mileage arrangements, and travel reimbursement details will be discussed with the hiring team during the interview process.

Why This Opportunity

This is a great fit for a hands-on safety qualified who wants broader multi-site responsibility, meaningful autonomy, and the opportunity to make visible improvements. The operation offers the chance to influence safety across different facility teams while gaining exposure to a wider North American network of recycling and steelmaking operations.

Candidates based within the Edmonton–Calgary corridor, including Red Deer, are preferred for access to the full territory. Relocation support is available. This position has no direct reports.
