Job Description
Ready to build your career? We want to hear from you.
As a Health and Safety Coordinator at Pomerleau Construction, your mission is clear: to protect lives, one protocol at a time. Working on large-scale construction projects - from $50 million to over $400 million - you'll ensure that health and safety on our sites and in our offices is not just a policy, but a way of life.

-
You are a key player from day one of project kickoffs; crafting plans, leading meetings, and spotting potential hazards through to project closeouts and team celebrations. You are a key member of the projects from start to finish.
-
Boots on the ground is your thing, getting active out on the job sites to conduct regular site inspections.
-
Lead the incident investigation processes for your project. Dissecting high-risk elements is what you do best, sharing the information with your Regional H&S Manager.
-
Prevention isn't just a program; it’s your way of life. You are the specialist when it comes to building an environment with a strong accident prevention foresight.
-
Be the first responder when an emergency strikes, orchestrating safety best practices when the unexpected strikes.
-
Share your passion for training, mentoring, and coaching your team on H&S best practices.
-
You compile statistics like no other, identifying patterns and paving the way for proactive improvements.
