Are you an enthusiastic, self-motivated and technically sound OHS practitioner looking for an exciting, stable and supportive environment to practice your trade? Start your role with Pacific Safety Consulting working on a client project for one of Canada's top employers. We are looking for a committed, eager individual who has a customer-centric attitude and a people-first approach.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to set your career on the path to becoming a Safety Professional. The reason this role is open is that the previous advisor is advancing in their career path with us.

You will be required to build strong relationships with multiple stakeholders in order to support the implementation of a world-class contractor safety management program. You will gain exposure to both federally and provincially regulated work environments while enjoying a great balance between fieldwork and administration.

We want to invest in mature team members who are looking for rewarding, long-term opportunities. PacSaf is a lifestyle career move, not another job. If you are career-jumping, this will not be a good fit for you.
