Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator

Cambridge, ON | On-Site

Job ID 10666

Company Description

Our client, seeking a Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator, is one of those rare manufacturers whose impact extends far beyond the walls of its facilities. For generations, this organization has engineered and built highly specialized equipment relied upon by major producers around the world, earning an enviable reputation for quality, innovation, reliability and long-term performance.

Today, its technology operates across an extraordinary international footprint, supporting customers in established and emerging markets alike. Its equipment is built for the long haul, its customer relationships often endure for decades, and its continued investment in engineering and innovation has helped it remain at the forefront of its industry through generations of change.

Behind that global presence is an organization doing work that matters. Its products support an essential worldwide industry and contribute, ultimately, to a supply chain that touches the lives of millions of people every day.

For the right professional, this is an opportunity to join a proven global manufacturer with genuine history, staying power and international relevance—while still being close enough to the operation to see the impact of your work.

Compensation

• $90,000 to $100,000*
• Comprehensive health, dental and extended health benefits
• RRSP matching program
• Paid time off
• Education reimbursement and professional development opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP/EFAP)
• Company social events and team activities
  

*The stated compensation range reflects the full scope of the role as currently structured and is provided in accordance with pay transparency requirements. Offers are determined based on relevant experience, demonstrated skills, internal equity, and alignment with the role’s requirements. The upper end of the range is typically reserved for candidates who fully meet all requirements and qualifications outlined in this posting and the official job description.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Health, Safety & Environmental professional who wants to have a meaningful impact within a global manufacturing organization.

Our client requires a Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator who can do more than administer policies and maintain documentation. This individual will be highly visible within the operation, working directly with employees, supervisors, management, Engineering and Maintenance to identify risk, improve programs and help build an increasingly proactive safety culture.

The position offers a meaningful degree of autonomy and ownership. The successful candidate will be trusted to exercise sound judgment, make decisions, take initiative and move priorities forward without requiring constant direction. Like any broad HSE mandate within a busy manufacturing environment, there will be challenges to work through; however, those challenges also create considerable opportunity for the right person to influence improvements, take ownership of the function and truly make the role their own.

The scope is broad, encompassing occupational health and safety, environmental compliance, WSIB and return-to-work programs, employee training, incident investigation, emergency preparedness, regulatory reporting and continuous improvement.

For someone with strong Ontario manufacturing experience, natural drive and a practical approach to problem-solving, this position offers the opportunity to combine regulatory expertise with hands-on involvement and make a visible contribution across the organization.

• Administer third-party contractor safety and compliance platforms, including Avetta and ISN.
  
  

Experience

• Demonstrated success developing and implementing occupational health and safety programs.
• Strong working knowledge of Ontario health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Experience with incident investigation, workplace inspections, hazard assessment and corrective-action management.
