The role

Ownership of health and safety across the client's construction portfolio - setting the standard, assuring contractor performance against it, and holding the line when schedule pressure builds. On a program running at this pace, in this climate, with penalties attached to milestones, this role exists to make sure speed is never bought with safety.

What you will own

• Development and implementation of the owner-side safety management system across campuses.
• Contractor safety pre-qualification, plan review and ongoing performance assurance.
• Site audit and inspection program, with direct escalation authority.
• Incident investigation, root cause analysis and corrective action tracking.
• Regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions - in Alberta, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and associated regulation.
• Winter working safety standards and cold-weather risk management.

What we require

• Senior safety leadership on major construction programs, ideally including data centers.
• Multi-jurisdiction regulatory experience across Canada and the United States.
• Demonstrated willingness to stop work and hold a position under commercial pressure.
• Owner-side experience assuring contractor safety performance, as distinct from delivering it directly.

What will set you apart

• Alberta regulatory experience.
• Cold-weather and winter construction safety background.
• CRSP, CSP or equivalent certification.
