Job Description
Safety Implementation Consultant -EHS
• This role requires 100% Travel to client location in United States*
This is a Full Time or Contractor Opportunity
About Proudfoot
Proudfoot is a global management consulting firm specializing in operational transformation. For over 75 years, we have partnered with organizations to improve performance through hands-on implementation — working Shoulder-to-Shoulder with frontline teams, supervisors, and leaders to embed sustainable change. We don’t just advise; we implement, coach, and transfer capability.
The Role
We are looking for experienced EHS professionals to join our team as Safety Implementation Consultants. You will work on-site with clients to implement Safety Operating Models (SOMs) — PDCA-based governance frameworks that transform how organizations manage safety from the frontline up. This is not a desk-based advisory role. You will be coaching supervisors, managers, and EHS specialists in the field, embedding safety governance routines into daily operations, and building the client’s internal capability to sustain the system independently.
What You Will Do
• Implement Safety Operating Models at client sites, including SQDC-P governance boards, Management Review Meetings (MRMs), Site Safety Committees, and escalation pathways
• Coach supervisors, managers, and EHS specialists in the practical application of:
– Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) — proactive risk identification, oversight, quality, and pattern analysis
– Event Reporting & Investigation (ER&I) — investigation methods, root cause analysis, CAPA closure, and governance
– Management of Change (MOC) — change authorization, decision-making authority, and QA processes
• Deliver training to groups of 20–30 participants using structured curricula, scenario-based practice sessions, and role-differentiated content
• Use Coaching Assessment Tools to track supervisor and manager progression through implementation stages (Demonstrate → Joint Execution → Guided Practice → Independent Execution)
• Facilitate daily SQDC-P meetings, weekly MRMs, and monthly governance reviews alongside client leaders — modeling effective meeting discipline and signal-to-action translation
• Support the deployment of Sustaining Elements including Audits & Inspections (A&I), Behavioral Observation for Learning (BOL), and Six Minutes of Intensive Training (SMIT)
• Build client capability through a Train-the-Trainer approach, coaching internal resources to deliver training and sustain the SOM independently
• Contribute to change management activities: stakeholder mapping, resistance identification, communication design, and close-out reviews
What We Are Looking For
Essential:
• Practical experience implementing safety management systems, safety operating models, or EHS governance frameworks in field-based or industrial environments
• Hands-on experience coaching supervisors and managers in safety leadership behaviors — not just classroom training, but at the point of execution
• Working knowledge of JHA, incident investigation (ER&I / ICAM / TapRooT or equivalent), and MOC processes
• Experience facilitating safety committees, management review meetings, or equivalent governance forums
• Ability to train and coach diverse audiences (frontline supervisors, site managers, EHS specialists, union safety representatives) in practical, accessible language
• Comfortable working on-site in field environments (utilities, energy, construction, mining, manufacturing, or similar sectors)
• Strong interpersonal skills — ability to build credibility quickly with both frontline workers and senior leadership
• Willingness to travel extensively (Monday–Friday on-site at client locations is the norm during implementation phases)
Desirable:
• Experience with PDCA-based management systems (ISO 45001, OSHA VPP, or proprietary safety operating models)
• Background in utilities, energy, or infrastructure sectors
• Experience leading multi-site rollouts or wave-based implementations
• Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or equivalent EHS certification
• Familiarity with behavioral observation programs (BBS, BOL, or equivalent)
• Experience with Train-the-Trainer program design and delivery
• Consulting background or experience working in a client-facing advisory/implementation role
What We Offer
• The opportunity to do work that directly improves safety outcomes for thousands of frontline workers
• A Shoulder-to-Shoulder implementation culture — we work in the field, not from a back office
• Structured professional development within a global consulting firm with 75+ years of operational transformation experience
• Exposure to multiple industries, clients, and operational environments
• A collaborative, expert team that values practical results over theoretical frameworks
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• This role requires 100% Travel to client location in United States*
