Position Summary :

The Director of Safety and Sustainability is a dynamic and hands-on leader responsible for driving a proactive culture of safety, environmental health, and sustainability across our manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Canada. This role is not about managing from behind a desk—it’s about being on the floor, actively engaging with team members, and leading change through education, influence, and accountability. The ideal candidate is a passionate advocate for employee well-being, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship, with a track record of building strong safety cultures and delivering measurable impact.

Key Responsibilities :

Safety Leadership

  • Develop and implement safety programs, policies, and procedures that foster a zero-incident mindset.
  • Serve as the key driver of safety initiatives—modeling safe behaviors, coaching frontline leaders, and ensuring accountability at all levels.
  • Partner with site leadership to conduct regular audits, hazard assessments, incident investigations, and root cause analyses.
  • Track and analyze safety metrics and trends to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA, Cal / OSHA, Work Safe New Brunswick and other applicable regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Canada.

Environmental Health & Compliance

  • Lead environmental programs and compliance efforts related to air, water, waste, and chemical management.
  • Maintain all required permits and documentation, and ensure timely reporting to regulatory agencies.
  • Serve as the subject matter expert for environmental regulations in both U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions.
  • Collaborate with plant teams to minimize environmental risks and reduce the environmental footprint of operations.
  • Sustainability Strategy

  • Design and implement sustainability initiatives aligned with corporate goals, including waste reduction, energy efficiency, and water conservation.
  • Drive continuous improvement projects focused on long-term environmental impact and cost savings.
  • Partner with procurement, engineering, and operations to evaluate sustainable materials and practices.
  • Promote a culture of environmental responsibility through employee education and engagement programs.
  • People & Culture

  • Serve as a visible leader and coach to safety, environmental, and plant leadership teams.
  • Conduct training and development initiatives that empower employees at all levels to own safety and sustainability.
  • Champion a culture of accountability, transparency, and collaboration.
  • Lead by example—being a consistent presence on the floor and in the plants, listening, teaching, and inspiring others.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field. Master’s preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in safety and / or environmental health in a manufacturing environment.
  • Multi-site leadership experience strongly preferred.
  • Deep knowledge of OSHA, EPA, and Canadian environmental and health regulations.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to lead change and influence across all levels of the organization.
  • Demonstrated success in building a safety culture and delivering sustainability initiatives with measurable results.
  • Ability to travel regularly to Cape May, Santa Fe Springs, and Blacks Harbour.
  • What We Offer :

  • The opportunity to shape the future of safety and sustainability at a company that values people and the planet.
  • A collaborative, mission-driven environment where your voice matters.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
