Safety Coordinator

JOB TYPE | Permanent, Full-Time, Year-Round

LOCATION | Blackfalds, Alberta

DIVISION | Manufacturing Facility

CLOSING DATE | As soon as possible

Position Summary

This is not a compliance-check role.
Safety at Eagle Builders is about holding the standard – every time – while earning the trust to influence it.

We’re looking for someone who is confident and direct, but just as important, someone who can build relationships across the floor. This role requires more than identifying problems; it requires the ability to connect with people, gain buy-in, and drive real behaviour change.

You won’t be successful in this role by standing on the outside. You’ll succeed in being present, respected, and working alongside crews to make safety practical, understood, and consistently followed.

What you will do

Build strong, day-to-day relationships with crews, supervisors, and sub-trades
Be present on the floor – observing, engaging and coaching in real time
Address unsafe acts directly, while working with individuals to reinforce expectations
Conduct site inspections and proactively identify hazards before they escalate
Lead safety meetings, orientations, and training that are practical and engaging
Investigate incidents and near misses, focusing on prevention and learning
Monitor compliance across crews and sub-trades, ensuring standards are understood and followed
Tract and report safety data, ensuring follow-through on all corrective actions

What we are looking for

Relationship builder – earns trust and credibility with crews at all levels
Confident and approachable – able to step in when needed, without creating resistance
Influential communicator – can gain buy-in and drive behaviour change, not just enforce rules
Present and engaged – spends time on the floor, not just behind a desk
Observant and proactive – identifies risks early and acts before issues escalate
Action-oriented – follows issues through to resolution
Detail focused – understands how small gaps can lead to bigger incidents
