• Stay current on HSE legislation across Canada
• Manage audits, inspections, certifications (COR, etc.)
• Own regulatory relationships and due diligence (e.g., for M&A)
• Maintain contractor and corporate safety portals (ISN, ComplyWorks, Avetta)

Contractor Management

• Build and enforce a national contractor safety program
• Lead contractor pre-qualification, onboarding, and site audits
• Ensure jurisdiction-specific compliance is met on all projects
