Intermediate Safety Coordinator

Intermediate Safety Coordinator
Full-time | Year-Round | Blackfalds, AB
Position Summary
This is not a compliance-check role.
Safety at Eagle Builders is about holding the standard – every time – while earning the trust to influence it.
We’re looking for someone who is confident and direct, but just as important, someone who can build relationships across the floor. This role requires more than identifying problems; it requires the ability to connect with people, gain buy-in, and drive real behaviour change.
You won’t be successful in this role by standing on the outside. You’ll succeed in being present, respected, and working alongside crews to make safety practical, understood, and consistently followed.
What You’ll Do
Build strong, day-to-day relationships with crews, supervisors, and sub-trades
Be present on the floor – observing, engaging and coaching in real time
Provide practical safety guidance to supervisors and employees when addressing hazards or changing work conditions
Address unsafe acts and conditions directly while reinforcing expectations and gaining employee buy-in
Conduct inspections and independently follow identified concerns through to resolution
Lead incident and near-miss investigations, identify contributing factors, and recommend meaningful corrective actions
Deliver safety meetings, orientations, and training that are practical, relevant, and engaging
Interpret and apply occupational health and safety legislation, company policies and industry requirements
Track and analyze safety data to identify recurring risks, emerging trends and opportunities for improvement
Support internal audits, program reviews, policy development, and continuous improvement initiatives
Monitor corrective actions to ensure they are completed effectively and within established expectations
Provide support and guidance to less-experienced safety team members when required
What We Are Looking For
Relationship builder – earns trust and credibility with crews at all levels
Confident and approachable – able to step in when needed, without creating resistance
Influential communicator – can gain buy-in and drive behaviour change, not just enforce rules
Present and engaged – spends time on the floor, not just behind a desk
Observant and proactive – identifies risks early and acts before issues escalate
Action-oriented – follows issues through to resolution
Detail focused – understands how small gaps can lead to bigger incidents
Requirements
Successful interview candidates will be required to complete a pre-employment assessment
3+ years of progressive health and safety experience
Valid Class 5 driver’s license and reliable transportation
Available to work Monday – Friday 6:30am – 5:00pm
Minimum 40 hours per week, must be flexible, willing to work overtime and the occasional Saturday
Valid Advanced First Aid
Working knowledge of Alberta occupational health and safety legislation, WHMIS, WCB requirements, and related standards
Experience independently conducting workplace inspections and incident investigations
Demonstrated ability to recommend, document, and follow up on corrective actions
Experience writing professional reports, procedures, or health and safety policies
