The individual we are looking for is someone who enjoys working in a team environment and excels at working at an individual level. This position will focus on reducing auto incidents and workers’ compensation injuries within a route-based service environment. This role designs and implements integrated safety programs that leverage data, influence field behavior, and embed safety into daily operations to ensure employees operate safely and consistently. 

What we offer:

• $125k+ Base Salary

• Annual Merit bonus potential of up to 15%

• Group Health, Dental, and Vision plans

• Pet insurance, Life insurance, and EAP benefits

• 401K with employer match up to 4%

• Paid holidays and paid time off

• Opportunity for advancement

• Upbeat and exciting company culture and much more!

Responsibilities include:

• Manage the enterprise-wide telematics program to monitor high-risk behaviors such as speeding, harsh braking, and distracted driving

• Leverage real-time data to drive field performance, overseeing targeted coaching and process discipline for technicians to prevent common rear-end collisions and other unsafe driving behaviors

• Utilize GPS tracking to optimize right-hand routing, reducing failure to yield incidents

• Enhance and modernize the Defensive Driver Safety Program, moving beyond basic training to incorporate advanced techniques tailored for service van and truck maneuvers in residential and high-traffic areas

• Implement "behind-the-wheel" evaluations and simulation-based training to sharpen technicians' reflexes and hazard recognition

• Design and deploy a proprietary safety model that embeds safety protocols directly into the technician’s end-to-end service workflow (from en route to arrival and inspection to treatment and departure)

• Partner with Operations and IT to integrate safety "hard stops" and digital checklists, including identifying route hazards, into the mobile service application, ensuring safety isn't an afterthought but a core part of the service delivery

• Host post-incident calls, facilitating discussion to determine the root cause and preventative measures 

• Develop proactive programs relative to hazard identification/assessments to combat the industry's most frequent claims: slips, trips, and falls, often caused by uneven ground or backpack sprayers affecting balance

• Design safety protocols for high-severity risks, using ergonomics to reduce strain and sprain risks

• Oversee Workers' Compensation case management, focusing on early intervention to reduce repetitive strain injuries

• Develop a comprehensive field observation program that goes beyond basic compliance to identify "near-misses" in ever-changing environments

• Establish a culture of safety where technicians are empowered to pause work if they encounter unsafe conditions like unstable structures or aggressive animals

• Collaborate with operations managers to ensure the effective use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and strict adherence to chemical labels and SDS instructions

• Analyze safety KPIs to identify "signal assessments" in injury trends, specifically looking for correlations between schedule pressure and incident rates

• Prepare executive-level dashboards that visualize the ROI of safety initiatives in terms of reduced insurance premiums and improved operational efficiency

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred

• Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Fleet Safety Director (CFSD) preferred

Requirements:      

• Minimum of 5+ years of experience in safety management, preferably within a route-based or field service industry

• Experience using Learning & Development principles

• Deep expertise in safety management within route-based or field service environments, including defensive driving programs and fleet risk mitigation strategies

• Strong systems-thinking capability with the ability to design and integrate safety programs into operational workflows and service delivery models

• Proficiency in telematics platforms, data analysis, and the ability to translate safety data into actionable insights and measurable performance improvements

• Ability to influence behavior and drive cultural change through collaboration, communication, and alignment with operational leadership

• Strong problem-solving and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to address safety risks, balance operational demands, and continuously evolve programs to maintain engagement and effectiveness
