About the role
HELP US CHANGE THE WAY COMPANIES THINK ABOUT HEALTH AND SAFETY. At Adapt Safety Solutions, we do things differently.
We're a growing health and safety consulting company that combines practical consulting with technology to make health and safety easier for our clients. We work with companies across construction, mining, industrial and manufacturing sectors, providing everything from on-site support to our safety management software.
We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us—not just fill a position.
This position is based out of our Ottawa office (located off March Road) and is primarily office-based, with potential travel to client sites throughout Ontario.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR We're looking for someone who is motivated, curious and genuinely enjoys helping people.
You don't need to have every certification or the perfect resume. If you've worked in construction, mining or another industrial environment and you're eager to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
The right person is someone who: Takes initiative and ownership of their work Is naturally organized Loves solving problems Has a positive attitude Communicates well with everyone—from workers to executives Enjoys learning new things Is coachable and open to feedback Is comfortable working independently Likes being part of a small team where everyone pitches in Follows through and gets things done
TECHNOLOGY MATTERS HERE Technology is one of the things that sets us apart. It's at the core of how we support our clients and how we continue to improve the way health and safety is delivered. We're looking for someone who is extremely comfortable with technology—not just someone who can use Microsoft Word.
You'll probably be a great fit if you're the type of person who: Figures out new software without needing a manual Builds your own Excel spreadsheets because it's easier Learns new technology on your own Enjoys finding better ways to do things Is the person everyone calls when they need help with technology. Has exceptional Microsoft 365 skills Is very comfortable using Outlook, Excel, Word and PowerPoint Enjoys learning new software as technology evolves
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING No two days are the same. One day you might be building a health and safety program, the next you could be delivering training, visiting a client site, or helping solve a challenging compliance issue.
Your responsibilities will include: Developing health and safety programs, procedures and forms Delivering software demonstrations and onboarding new clients Conducting workplace inspections and audits Assisting with incident investigations Delivering orientations and training Helping clients meet legislative and COR® requirements Coaching clients, supervisors and workers Supporting clients with our health and safety software Building reports and documentation Researching legislative requirements and industry best practices Identifying opportunities to better support existing clients
WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE We're ideally looking for someone with around five years of health and safety experience. That said, if you have strong industry experience, exceptional technical skills, the right attitude, and can demonstrate your ability to learn quickly, we'd still encourage you to apply.
The following would be considered strong assets: NCSO designation through IHSA (or an equivalent organization) Strong understanding of Ontario occupational health and safety legislation Knowledge of Quebec health and safety legislation Bilingual (English/French) Experience in construction, mining or industrial environments
We're far more interested in your attitude, work ethic and ability to learn than whether you have a particular diploma or degree.
HOW WE’LL SUPPORT YOU We want you to succeed, and we're committed to helping you grow both personally and professionally. Here's what you can expect from us: Regular check-ins during your first year. We'll meet after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, then annually after that, to talk about how you're enjoying the role, what's working well, where you'd like to grow, and how we can better support your success. Professional development opportunities. We'll support training and learning that helps you develop your skills and advance your career. Real input into the business. We're a small company, and your ideas matter. If you see a better way of doing something, we want to hear it. A collaborative work environment. You'll work closely with the owner of the company, have the opportunity to take on new challenges, and play an important role in helping Adapt Safety Solutions continue to grow.
WHAT WE OFFER Here's what you can expect when you join Adapt Safety Solutions:
Compensation: $50,000–$65,000 per year, depending on experience, skills and qualifications Additional bonus compensation may be offered for securing new business opportunities Bilingual proficiency in English and French is considered an asset Full-time permanent position – 40 hours per week Two weeks of paid vacation. Company-approved travel expenses reimbursed. Monthly cell phone allowance.
WHY JOIN ADAPT SAFETY SOLUTIONS? This isn't a job where you'll spend your days checking boxes.
It's an opportunity to work closely with clients, solve real problems, embrace technology, and help build a company that's changing how health and safety services are delivered.
If you're excited by the idea of helping build a growing company—and not just filling a position—we'd love to hear from you.
APPLY You'll enjoy this role if you like variety. Some days you'll be building safety programs, other days you'll be meeting clients on-site, delivering training, or helping someone solve a problem.
Send your resume and a brief introduction telling us why you'd be a good fit. Please include a short cover letter (or email) telling us about a time you taught yourself a new piece of software or technology and how you used it to solve a problem.
We're interested in the person behind the resume as much as the experience.

About Adapt Safety Solutions
Adapt Safety Solutions was incorporated in 2023 emerging from the collaboration of business owners and a safety professional who recognized a common challenge: not every organization can afford a full-time health and safety advisor, yet they still require vital support. Often, companies resort to hiring inexperienced or unqualified individuals for safety roles, leading to greater costs in the long run. We’re here to change that narrative by offering accessible solutions that empower organizations to prioritize safety effectively and efficiently, regardless of their resources or experience level.
