The Safety and Risk Management Consultant (Consultant) of TRISTAR’s Risk Control Division, Aspen Risk Management Group (Aspen), provides safety, risk, and loss control consultation services to clients of varying sizes and complexities.

The Consultant is responsible for delivering expert guidance and innovative risk management and safety practices solutions. This role focuses on assessing client needs, developing tailored safety and risk prevention programs, and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies across various industries.

The Consultant will collaborate closely with clients to enhance their safety culture, ensure compliance with regulations, and reduce workplace hazards. By leveraging industry knowledge and analytical skills, the Consultant aims to provide actionable insights that drive improvements in safety performance and operational efficiency.

This position requires strong communication skills, building relationships with stakeholders, and a commitment to delivering exceptional service that aligns with the organization's mission of protecting lives and promoting a safe working environment.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

This is a remote position, generally working from home or a virtual office. Occasionally, there may be the need to visit a traditional office for meetings, training, or other events.
Provides clients with onsite (and virtual) safety and risk management services.
Due to client locations, overnight travel may be required. The ability to bundle client work is an expectation of maximizing Consultant time and client servicing utilization.
Scheduling is self-managed, focusing on priorities such as client demands and service schedules, travel and bundling efficiencies, risk and underwriting needs, client expectations, incident and injury trends, client hazards and exposures, injury potential, and other factors.
Creates action plans for safety and risk management services, visiting (onsite or virtual) some clients several times per year.
Conducts “one-time loss control surveys” onsite or virtual.
Working with clients, exercises independent consideration for workplace safety recommendations and support, independent of direct supervision. Evaluates the effectiveness of the client's hazard controls associated with their operations.
