The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Health, Safety & Environmental professional who wants to have a meaningful impact within a global manufacturing organization.

Our client requires a Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator who can do more than administer policies and maintain documentation. This individual will be highly visible within the operation, working directly with employees, supervisors, management, Engineering and Maintenance to identify risk, improve programs and help build an increasingly proactive safety culture.

The position offers a meaningful degree of autonomy and ownership. The successful candidate will be trusted to exercise sound judgment, make decisions, take initiative and move priorities forward without requiring constant direction. Like any broad HSE mandate within a busy manufacturing environment, there will be challenges to work through; however, those challenges also create considerable opportunity for the right person to influence improvements, take ownership of the function and truly make the role their own.

The scope is broad, encompassing occupational health and safety, environmental compliance, WSIB and return-to-work programs, employee training, incident investigation, emergency preparedness, regulatory reporting and continuous improvement.

For someone with strong Ontario manufacturing experience, natural drive and a practical approach to problem-solving, this position offers the opportunity to combine regulatory expertise with hands‑on involvement and make a visible contribution across the organization.

As the Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator, you will help lead the ongoing development, implementation and improvement of the organization’s health, safety and environmental programs.

• Stay current with changes in legislation, technology, processes and industry best practices and recommend improvements.
• Partner with Engineering and Maintenance to ensure appropriate safety and ergonomic considerations are incorporated into new and existing equipment.
• Maintain a strong shop-floor presence and build effective relationships with employees throughout the operation.

Training & Safety Culture

• Develop and deliver health and safety training for employees and management.
• Conduct new-hire safety orientations and support training initiatives for employees across the broader organization.
• Promote employee awareness and engagement through ongoing education and communication.
• Maintain health and safety information boards and digital communication displays.
• Help reinforce a workplace culture in which safety is understood as a shared responsibility.

Incident Investigation & Corrective Action

• Lead investigations of workplace accidents, incidents and near misses.

• Partner with management and employees to implement and monitor corrective actions.
• Analyze incident trends to identify opportunities for prevention and continuous improvement.

WSIB & Return-to-Work

• Coordinate and manage WSIB claims.
• Support effective accommodation and return-to-work programs and associated documentation.

• Prepare environmental compliance reports and recommendations.
• Coordinate annual regulatory reporting requirements, including NPRI, ESDM, E2, ChemTRAC, annual reports and waste audits.
• Manage required annual environmental and occupational testing, including air quality, noise and hearing testing, stormwater and sanitation-related testing.

Joint Health & Safety Committee

• Participate as a key member of the Joint Health and Safety Committee.
• Facilitate regular meetings and coordinate follow-up on committee action items.
• Work collaboratively with committee members to identify and implement meaningful workplace safety improvements.

• Coordinate emergency drills and evaluate results.
• Ensure appropriate emergency equipment, processes and personnel remain prepared for response.

Reporting & Compliance Administration

• Maintain accurate health, safety and environmental documentation, including incident reports, SDS records, employee training records and inspection logs.
• Prepare health and safety performance reports and KPIs for senior management.
• Analyze accident statistics by type, frequency and severity and recommend opportunities to improve workplace health, safety and loss control.
• Administer third-party contractor safety and compliance platforms, including Avetta and ISN.

Experience

• At least 5 years of progressive health and safety experience within an Ontario manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated success developing and implementing occupational health and safety programs.
• Strong working knowledge of Ontario health and safety legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Experience with incident investigation, workplace inspections, hazard assessment and corrective-action management.
• Exposure to environmental compliance, regulatory reporting and environmental testing.
• Previous Human Resources experience would be an asset.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of health, safety and environmental practices in a manufacturing environment.
• Sound judgment and demonstrated ability to make well‑considered decisions in a largely autonomous role.
• A proactive, self‑directed approach with the initiative and drive to identify priorities and move them forward.
• Excellent analytical, investigative and problem‑solving capabilities.
• Strong communication, presentation and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to effectively train, coach and influence employees and management.
• Comfortable working with employees at every level of an organization, from the manufacturing floor through senior leadership.
• Strong organizational and documentation skills with an ability to manage multiple compliance requirements and priorities.
• A practical, collaborative approach and a willingness to be highly visible within the operation.
