Occupational Health and Safety Manager Job Description
Our client specialized in civil, excavation, and environmental services throughout BC. They’re forward-thinking, technology-driven, open-minded, collaborative, success-focused, and people-oriented.
About You
You take pride in doing things the right way and want to be part of a team that looks out for one another, where communication is open, and where safety is part of how things get done, not an afterthought.
You’re confident in the field and you lead by example, earning respect through consistency, fairness, and genuine care for the people you work with.
