Job Overview:
GrizzlyTrek is currently seeking one C-Construction Safety Superintendent to join our Valued Clients team in Edmonton, Alberta. This is a full-time position, ideally suited to an individual committed to excellence, leadership, and safety. Reporting to the Manager.
The C-Construction Safety Superintendent oversees all safety activities on a construction site to ensure compliance with company policies, provincial regulations, and industry standards. The role focuses on preventing incidents, enforcing safe work practices, and maintaining a strong safety culture across the project.
Position Summary
The Field Safety Superintendent is responsible for leading and enforcing health, safety, and environmental (HSE) programs across a large-scale construction project in Edmonton. This role provides on‑site safety leadership, ensures compliance with regulatory and corporate safety requirements, and promotes a proactive safety culture among all project personnel, contractors, and subcontractors.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the implementation and enforcement of project safety policies, procedures, and safe work practices across all construction activities.
- Conduct routine and ad hoc site safety inspections, hazard assessments, and field observations to identify and mitigate risks.
- Deliver site‑specific safety orientations, toolbox talks, and targeted safety training to construction crews and subcontractors.
- Monitor contractor safety performance and ensure adherence to project safety requirements and regulatory standards.
- Investigate incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions; develop corrective actions and track closure to prevent recurrence.
- Maintain accurate safety records, reports, and documentation, including inspections, training records, and incident investigations.
- Act as the primary on‑site safety resource for project leadership, providing guidance and recommendations to support safe execution of work.
- Support emergency response planning and drills in coordination with project management and site teams.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Health and Safety, Construction Management, or a related discipline.
- Professional safety certification such as Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or equivalent.

Excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence safe behaviors in the field.
- Do you have direct experience working under Alberta Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) legislation on large construction projects?
- Have you served in a site‑based safety leadership role with authority to stop work on unsafe activities?
- Have you worked full‑time on a large, multi‑discipline industrial construction site (e.g., energy, petrochemical, hydrogen, LNG, or similar)?
- Have you provided safety oversight for multiple contractors and subcontractors simultaneously?
- Do you have hands‑on experience conducting field safety inspections, hazard assessments, and work observations (not solely administrative safety work)?
- Have you personally led or participated in incident and near‑miss investigations and implemented corrective actions in the field?

Occasional bending, crouching, kneeling, and infrequent climbing with fall protection may be necessary. Shift work flexibility is required based on project schedules.
