Position Summary:
The Regional Safety Manager & Trainer is a corporate-based role responsible for leading, implementing, and continuously improving safety, fire & life safety, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance programs across assigned concessionaire operations. While this position is anchored in the corporate office, it primarily supports field locations in a remote capacity, with occasional travel as needed to reinforce training, assess operations, and support key initiatives.
This role serves as the field-facing extension of the Corporate Director of Risk & Safety, ensuring corporate standards are effectively deployed, understood, and executed at the operational level. The position balances remote leadership, virtual training delivery, program implementation, and risk-based coaching—supplemented by periodic on-site engagement—to drive measurable reductions in incidents, claims, and regulatory exposure while supporting operational excellence in complex, high-risk, and often remote environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Regional Safety Leadership
- Serve as the primary safety leader for assigned regions, properties, and operational units.
- Act as a trusted advisor to General Managers, Operations Leaders, Maintenance, Food & Beverage, Marina, and Facilities teams.
- Champion a proactive safety culture that integrates safety into daily operations—not as a compliance exercise, but as an operational standard.
- Represent corporate safety expectations consistently across diverse locations and leadership teams.
Training & Workforce Development
- Deliver instructor-led and hands-on training programs, including but not limited to:
- OSHA regulatory awareness and operational compliance
- Fire & Life Safety fundamentals
- Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and evacuation procedures
- Hazard communication, PPE, LOTO, confined space, fall protection, and hot work
- Incident reporting, near-miss recognition, and hazard identification
- Customize training for seasonal staff, remote locations, and varying operational risks.
- Support train-the-trainer initiatives and frontline leadership coaching.
- Ensure training documentation, attendance, and competency records meet corporate and regulatory standards.
Compliance & Risk Management
- Conduct scheduled and unscheduled site safety inspections, audits, and operational walkthroughs.
- Identify OSHA, fire/life safety, and operational risk exposures; develop corrective action plans with site leadership.
- Support regulatory compliance aligned with:
- OSHA 29 CFR (General Industry and Construction, as applicable)
- Fire & Life Safety standards (e.g., NFPA-aligned programs)
- Local AHJ, state, and federal requirements applicable to concessionaire operations
- Monitor corrective action tracking and closure to ensure sustainable risk reduction.
Incident Management & Investigations
- Lead or support investigations of incidents, near misses, property damage, and vehicle-related events.
- Perform root cause analysis and trend evaluations.
- Partner with operations and corporate leadership to implement preventive measures.
- Support claims management processes through timely documentation and field support.
Fire & Life Safety / Emergency Preparedness
- Support fire prevention, life safety, and emergency preparedness programs across facilities and operations.
- Assist with emergency drills, tabletop exercises, and response readiness evaluations.
- Coordinate with maintenance and leadership teams on life safety system readiness (egress, extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting, signage).
- Support business continuity and emergency response planning aligned with corporate expectations.
Program Implementation & Corporate Alignment
- Deploy corporate safety programs, SOPs, and initiatives at the regional and site level.
- Provide feedback to the Corporate Director of Risk & Safety on field challenges, trends, and improvement opportunities.
- Support standardization while recognizing operational realities unique to concessionaire environments.
- Assist with enterprise-wide safety initiatives, campaigns, and performance metrics.
- Other duties as requested
