Health and Safety Coordinator

• Location: Exshaw, Alberta
• Type: Direct Hire
• Job #14077
• Salary: CA$79,000 Per Hour

MatchBox Consulting Group is currently seeking a Health & Safety Coordinator on behalf of our client, a major industrial manufacturing organization operating a large-scale cement production facility in Exshaw, AB.

This role is a key part of the site's senior leadership team and plays a central part in driving a strong, proactive safety culture across all plant operations. If you're someone who leads by influence, earns credibility on the floor, and genuinely believes safety is built – not enforced – this one's worth a look.

The position is fully on-site, Monday through Friday, at the Exshaw facility. Candidates should be comfortable with the commute from Calgary or the surrounding area.

Key Responsibilities

Site Safety Leadership

• Serve as the on-site HSE presence, providing visible coaching and mentorship to frontline employees and management alike.
• Champion a safety culture built on buy-in and trust – influencing behavior rather than relying on authority.
• Oversee the implementation and continuous improvement of health and safety programs aligned with the site's HSE Management System.

Training & Communication

• Develop and deliver safety training modules, site orientations, and toolbox talks tailored to an industrial plant environment.
• Coach management and employees on applicable provincial OH&S legislation and internal safety standards.

Incident Management & Compliance

• Lead workplace incident investigations and support corrective action follow-through.
• Manage WCB paperwork and support claims management in coordination with operations.
• Conduct COR and internal HSE audits; maintain safety documentation across platforms, including Intelex, iCare, and Avetta.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the plant management team and the broader Canadian Cement HSE group to align on programs, priorities, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Adapt day-to-day priorities to support a dynamic, high-activity industrial environment.

Qualifications

Education

• Post-secondary certificate, diploma, or degree — preferably in Occupational Health & Safety or a related field.

Certifications

• NCSO or CSO required; CRSP strongly preferred.

Experience

• Minimum 3 years of HSE experience in a manufacturing, industrial, oil & gas, or mining environment.
• Trades background with supervisory experience is a strong asset — candidates who have come up through the tools and transitioned into safety often thrive in this environment.

Skills & Attributes

• Proven ability to influence without authority and build genuine credibility with a trades workforce.
• Strong interpersonal skills — adaptable, approachable, and effective across varying personalities and seniority levels.
• Solid knowledge of Alberta OH&S legislation and regulations.
• Proficient in MS Office and Google Suite.
• Valid driver's license required.

What's on Offer

• Competitive Base Salary
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus of 0–24% of base, plus merit increase of 2–5%
• Benefits: Comprehensive Sun Life coverage for you and your dependents, effective immediately
• Vacation: Starting at 3 weeks; 4 weeks negotiable for experienced candidates
• RRSP: Company-matched contributions
• Stock Purchase Plan: Available at an employee discount
• Growth: Real opportunity to grow into operational or senior HSE leadership as the team expands its Western Canada scope

Additional Requirements

• Comfortable with a Monday–Friday on-site schedule in Exshaw, AB
• Pre-employment drug and alcohol testing and criminal record check required
• Respirator use may be required; clean-shaven fit where applicable per safety standards
