Join to apply for the Director of Safety role at Jombine

Our client is hiring a Director of Safety. This newly created role will be integral for our client as they continue to expand, evolve, and thrive as a market leader.

THE WHO:

• Our client is a leader in the restoration and reconstruction space with nearly 400 branches serving residential, institutional, and commercial customers and clients across the United States and Canada.
• For over 50 years, our client has served their communities in their time of need when facing disaster.

THE WHAT:

• You will be a key leader for the company, driving the important focus, value, and systematic approaches to safety, across the US & Canada.
• We are looking for an experienced safety professional, hands-on leader, and results-driven operator to establish and execute safety values and structures within each aspect of the organization.
• Because of the nature of the industry, job hierarchies, and branch networks, this leader will be challenged with developing organizational safety change across the company as a whole and the unique cultures of each specific branch, group, and team unit.

MUST HAVES:

• You will integrate your skills in program development, implementation, and management of specific initiatives, policies, procedures, and accountability measures (highlighting this one the most), to ensure all members are aligned and driven by the collective nature and goals within a safe workplace.
• This is a newly created position and you'll be a team of one in the first year. As such, you will bring a self-starter mindset, a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, and an executor track record as you implement, manage, and navigate the safety programs across the organization.
• We are also looking for people with a background of working through both a corporate-level team along with individual branches located throughout the US. This may include service-based businesses (plumbing, construction, cleaning, etc.), hospitality or food & beverage (restaurant groups, hotels, etc.), or any other business that has over 50 branch locations in addition to a headquartered office/team.

THE WHY:

• The reconstruction and restoration industry is in a truly unique sector. It is growing, stable, recession-proof, and strong - yet it also helps come alongside homeowners, property owners, and communities during incredibly hard times/disasters - floods, fires, mold, emergencies, and accidents.
• As such, everyone involved in the organization has the chance to touch the community with care, service, and a phoenix-like mentality to get people back in their homes and businesses.

THE WHERE:

• While our client has branches across the US and Canada, it is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
• At the same time, this will be a remote role and travel (up to 50-60%) will be expected to key branches, conferences, company events, and its headquarters.
• The ideal candidate can be located anywhere in the United States, but must be able to travel and proficient in a remote-based environment.

THE HOW:

• To ensure success as a safety director, you should manage, create, display, and implement exceptional knowledge and practice of company safety policies and relevant occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) standards.
• Ultimately, an outstanding safety director should be able to identify opportunities to minimize workplace health hazards quickly and efficiently, problem solve gaps in company processes, and develop the right communications (written and verbal) and training materials.

There are also three key strategic initiatives that this person will be initially tasked with:

• Build and implement a comprehensive corporate safety programacross all company-owned branches and corporate locations.
• Execute safety initiatives with key stakeholdersincluding executive team members, general managers, and team leaders to ensure alignment on safety objectives.
• Develop and deliver safety training programsfor all employees, including training materials, communication channels, and accountability measures.

THE NUTS & BOLTS:

• Comp range is a base of $100,000 - 150,000 plus a strong bonus structure.
• Strong benefits package is also included with Medical Benefits, 401k, PTO, and much more.

THE COMPANY & TEAM

Our client is one of the top restoration and reconstruction companies in the US, operating in nearly 400 different independent markets.

Even better - it is in an industry that truly serves its community. The restoration and reconstruction industry comes alongside home and business owners during unexpected hard days - floods, fires, mold, and more. Imagine a restaurant kitchen fire that closes the business and 50 employees are now temporarily out of work. Or a broken pipe that floods a home and displaces a family.

These are just a few of the examples of how our client steps in and serves their communities with steadfast service through innovative solutions and approach, and all-inclusive support to get people back in business.

YOUR DNA

• You are a people-first, results-oriented, and action-forward team leader. An implementer, a coach, a systematic thinker, program builder, and someone that executes the playbook, manages the processes, and delivers measurable safety results.
• You come to the table with practical experience, operational knowledge, proven execution skills, and strong program management abilities. You don't need to be the loudest or the most senior person in the room, but you do need to lead with competence, accountability, and a track record of delivering results.
• You bring a "roll up your sleeves" mentality and work ethic. You'll also be a team of 1 for the first year, so you'll need to be proactive and hands-on in your implementation. As such, you love and thrive in getting into the operational details and navigating success through methodical execution and continuous improvement.
• You are experienced in the safety business - and this runs deep into your professional background. You understand safety. You've managed it. You've implemented it. You've measured it. From navigating construction sites to regulatory compliance to building workplace safety cultures, you'll be the experienced professional supporting the organizational goals and objectives around safety.
• Since this is a new role (expectations will be high) and you'll need to be both a leader and an executor, your success will be founded on partnerships. As such, you know how to work with stakeholders, build consensus, lead through influence, and get teams to adopt and follow safety programs.
• You have experience improving TRIR and other safety metrics, and more importantly, you know how to get others on the team - especially key stakeholders and team leads - to adopt and maintain safety standards.
