We are working with an esteemed electrical contractor who are seeking a Health and Safety Coordinator to join their team.

Your New Company:
This client celebrates a century of dedicated service as a leading Canadian electrical contracting company. Their impressive portfolio includes residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional projects, consistently earning recognition for their exceptional work. Their team of highly skilled professionals shares a common goal: to grow together and excel in their craft.

Your New Role:
As the Health & Safety (H&S) Coordinator, you will report directly to the Chief Safety Officer and play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing safety standards across various sites in the Lower Mainland. Your primary responsibility will be to conduct regular site visits to ensure that all health and safety protocols are implemented effectively and in accordance with best practices. In addition to site inspections, you will be tasked with completing detailed safety reports for each location, providing actionable recommendations for improving safety measures, identifying training needs, and assisting Project Managers and Supervisors with project safety assessments and the development of comprehensive safety plans. Your role will require you to spend the majority of your time on different job sites, ensuring a hands-on approach to safety coordination, while also maintaining an office base at the company's headquarters. Furthermore, you will be responsible for performing fit tests for workers as needed, investigating any incidents that occur, and preparing thorough reports that include corrective measures to prevent future occurrences. Your ability to lead, teach, and communicate effectively at all levels will be essential in fostering a culture of safety within the organization.

Key qualifications include:
  • Valid driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle.
  • A minimum of 2 years of experience in the construction industry. While electrical experience is an asset, it’s not mandatory.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to effectively engage with team members and clients.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office for documentation and project coordination.
  • Certification in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), whether through a diploma, degree, or recognized training program.
  • Valid First Aid certification.
  • Training and ability to work safely in confined spaces.
  • Fall Protection and Fit Testing certification are strongly preferred.

What You'll Get in Return:
As the Health and Safety Coordinator, you will be offered a competitive salary ranging from $60,000 to $80,000, based on your experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package. Additionally, you will receive a vehicle and gas allowance, with the option to use a company vehicle when available. This role provides a unique opportunity to work with one of Canada's leading electrical contractors, allowing you to gain diverse and valuable experience in your field.
