Job description

Join Amrize as a H&S Manager ( Construction) - Project NorthStar and help construct what's next. If you're ready to put your skills to work on projects that matter — and build a career with a company that’s building North America — we want to hear from you!

About The Role

The H&S Manager - Construction is fully committed to representing and supporting Amrize in all contractor meetings, critical decision-making, and stakeholder management. The primary responsibility is to develop, implement and drive the site safety program for the Saint Constant Plant Modernization NorthStar Project, in line with Amrize safety policy, the Quebec legislation, compliant with CNESST and Safety Code for the Construction industry and Safety Code for the Principal Contractor. This role acts as the principal point of health and safety coordination between the Amrize Project Team, plant management, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and regulatory authorities.

What You'll Accomplish

• Promote a proactive safety culture targeting "zero harm," and meet all corporate OH&S objectives.
• Develop, organize, and implement the site-specific OH&S program and emergency-response plans for the entire site workforce.
• Maintain visible, seamless H&S oversight and adequate coverage during all active site construction activities.
• Review and pre-qualify contractors and service providers, evaluating safety performance and job hazard assessment (JHA)/method statements.
• Oversee and audit the project permit-to-work system covering PPE, LOTO, hot work, and critical lifts.
• Lead or coordinate investigations for accidents, injuries, and near misses; identify root causes and ensure preventive actions are closed out.
• Lead and chair the site OH&S Committee and establish/maintain a formal hazard and deficiency register.
• Ensure full compliance with CNESST, the Safety Code for the Construction Industry, the Construction Site Prevention Program, and Principal Contractor obligations under Quebec legislation.
• Coordinate H&S communications, inspections, and relations with CNESST, union representatives, and project stakeholders.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in a technical field, supplemented by advanced training in OH&S or risk management.
• Must be locally qualified/certified as an OH&S Manager Construction according to regional regulations.
• Minimum of 5 years as an OH&S Coordinator/Manager on construction sites, specifically within major industrial or heavy-construction projects managing multiple contractors and simultaneous work fronts.
• Mandatory, strong working knowledge of Quebec occupational health and safety legislation, the Safety Code for the Construction Industry, and CNESST requirements.
• Proven experience navigating live, operating-plant environments (knowledge of cement plant operations is considered a strong asset).
• Bilingualism in French and English, both written and spoken. Knowledge of English is required, as the incumbent must communicate regularly with clients and suppliers of goods and/or services along with team members or support functions outside Quebec.
• Strong leadership, negotiation, stakeholder dialogue capabilities, quality/environmental awareness, and computer application proficiency (MS Office).

Additional Requirements

• Flexibility and capacity for mobility, balancing professional requirements with personal considerations.
• Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

• A generous Pension Plan designed to support you through various stages of your career and life.
• Access to voluntary programs like RRSP and TFSA for future financial planning.
