Jobs & Resumes

Update!! I have been asked by several firms looking to hire excellent safety professionals if I wouldn't mind dedicating a section for this. I have changed this page to allow for this. Please feel free to either post your position here with full details and your contact info. Whether looking for the right person or the right job, I wish you great success!

Dear All,

Through this blog and our weekly podcast I have had the pleasure to “almost meet” passionate people who are interested in safety, from all over the world. It is almost weekly that I am asked if I have any leads on opening for safety professionals. While I am not always able to assist in a search like that, I wanted to somehow be able to try to help my fellow, global colleagues. The blog has thousands of readers and subscribers so I’m hopeful that this may somehow help.

Please understand that I’m limiting this to facilitate individuals finding their next position, this is not to promote consulting firms, services or products. Respectfully, I do this to ensure that it will be easy for people to view, without being lost in a mass of commercials.

Please provide your information if you would like to promote yourself to prospective companies, who may be searching for their next safety leader. I encourage you to be brief in your description, rather than posting your entire resume/curriculum vitae. If you have a link to your online resume, consider posting, as that would be beneficial!

I truly wish you well!

    I am a CSP and a Six Sigma Black with a Masters in Safety looking for a Director/Manager role in a great organization. I have had many opportunities to work in diverse high-hazard manufacturing environments as a safety professional for the past 30 years. In the past 15 years, I have specialized in developing safety management systems which have initiated fundamental changes in safety mindset that have helped to reduce work-related injuries coupled with associated cost savings.

    I have found through experience that there are four key elements in a Safety Management System: Management Commitment and Leadership, Roles and Responsibilities, Employee Participation, and Hazard Recognition and analysis.

    If you are interested, you can review my resume and recommendations from other professionals on Linkedin.

    Hello,

    I have more than 20-years of experience in construction that includes working my way up from the smallest to the largest projects/companies in the country.

    I have a hands-on perspective to safety that comes from the supervision and management of construction professionals who include trades people, engineers, and fellow supervisors.

    I’m interested in safety for many reasons not the least because of it’s dynamic and developing nature. That and I love the construction industry and it’s people potential.

    I was told one time from the owner of a small general contracting company “you have so much potential.” I’m still working to achieve that potential but now it’s not just for me anymore. DO you have a job that can use my experience and potential.

    Sincerely;

    Todd Wilson twil62@yahoo.com

    I am currently supporting the work of a Behavioural safety consultancy, through the delivery of training and coaching relating to safe behaviour’s and cultural change. This is done through the application of psychological concept’s and theories in organisations within the Oil and Gas Industry, high hazard industries and safety critical environments. The training and coaching is conducted all around the world in very multi-cultural environments for organisations including BG Group, BP, Chevron, Schlumberger and WesternGeco.

    I have served in the armed forces for eleven years & throughout my career I have advanced through the ranks to senior middle management (Platoon Sergeant). Having made the decision to pursue a career within the safety field, and in particular the role of safety within the Oil and Gas Industry, I have successfully attained my NEBOSH General Certificate, as well as those other safety specific qualifications listed below, and I’m currently studying for my Diploma.

    On a more personal basis, I am accustomed to accepting responsibility and having delegated authority, I am a totally reliable and trustworthy individual, able to work to my own initiative or as a valuable team member or leader, my place of work has always required a very open sense of humor and a personal dedication to managing many different personalities within multi-cultural environments. I am able to communicate fluently with management, peers and subordinates regardless of the circumstances; I am calm under pressure and have a demonstrable track record in managing and leading a team by example and driving new challenges through to successful completion within budget and timescale.
