Job Description

Project-level safety performance will guide the direction of the overall Queen Street Safety Program. As the SHE Program Manager you will monitor safety performance and engage with project team members through on-site training, orientations, communications, “brown-bag” information sessions, and periodic safety audits. You will review safety incidents that occur, assess the causes and corrective actions, and provide site-specific training if needed. You will collect project safety data to spot trends and potential risks that may lead to incidents and formulate a communication strategy to disseminate “accident avoidance” procedures.

We have established safety programs and “Safety First” protocols that lead the industry in safety performance.
