Health and Safety Specialist

We are seeking an experienced Health & Safety professional who is motivated by one clear purpose: protecting people. This role is designed for someone who understands that behind every procedure and metric are real employees and families. You will play a key role in strengthening our safety culture by being present on the floor every day—listening, intervening, and leading by example to create an environment where safety is lived, not just managed.

Your day-to-day: on the floor, where it matters most.
This role is made for a hands-on individual — someone who believes that a strong H&S culture is built through direct engagement with operations and teams. You will be present every day in the Saint-Hubert and Chambly plants, at the heart of the action, to observe, prevent, intervene, and positively influence behaviors.

This is not an administrative or remote role — it is a practical, strategic, and operational position where you will be a key agent of change.

Your Responsibilities:

• Be visible and active on the production floor daily: identify risks, engage with teams, intervene on-site, and act quickly.

• Actively participate in the implementation of corrective measures – you are the one who does, not just the one who delegates.

• Organize, lead, and follow up on monthly health and safety committee meetings, ensuring accountability for projects and commitments.

• Manage workplace accident, near-miss, and CNESST claim files with both rigor and empathy.

• Investigate incidents, analyze root causes, implement concrete corrective measures, and ensure diligent follow-up.

• Conduct internal audits, lead safety walkthroughs, and verify compliance with H&S standards.

• Develop, recommend, and lead the H&S strategy for both sites, working closely with operations.

• Track and optimize key H&S performance indicators to guide action plans.

• Prepare and deliver impactful training sessions for managers and employees on procedures, tools, and best practices.

• Ensure compliance of PPE and safety procedures (including lockout/tagout – LOTO), adapting them to each site’s reality.

• Maintain up-to-date, accessible, and regulatory-compliant H&S documentation.

• Actively promote safety on the production floor: correct gaps, reinforce safe habits, and lead by example.

• Work closely with production teams and HR as a strategic operational partner.

• Serve as the point of contact for all internal and external H&S communications, including audits and official visits.

• Collaborate with other H&S professionals across the company to align and harmonize practices across all sites.

• Advise operational leaders and HR partners on H&S best practices.

• Travel regularly between the Saint-Hubert and Chambly sites.

Qualifications

In order to succeed, you must:

• Possess a university degree with a certificate in health and safety or any other relevant training;
• Have a minimum of 3 years of experience in the field of occupational health and safety;
• Have experience in managing work-related accidents and disabilities and in evaluating physical requirements related to functional limitations;
• Be recognized for your professionalism, your thoroughness and your ability to work in a team;
• Possess a strong sense of analysis and problem solving;
• Have an excellent knowledge of health and safety laws and regulations;
• Be bilingual (French and English), both written and spoken;
• Experience with WSIB or OSHA regulations, an asset;
• Experience in the manufacturing industry, an asset;
• Mastery of standard computer tools including Ms Word and Ms Excel.

Key Competencies:

• Ability to provide influential leadership;
• Strong interpersonal and listening skills;
• Ability to work as part of a team while establish partnership relationships.
