[Hiring] Safety Program Coordinator @Apex Companies

Role Description

We’re seeking a talented Safety Program Coordinator with practical, field-informed experience to support the development and continuous improvement of safety programs across a distributed workforce. This role is not field-based and does not have direct reports. Instead, it focuses on translating real-world field conditions into clear, practical, and usable safety policies, procedures, training, and systems. The ideal candidate brings hands-on exposure to field operations and applies that experience to develop fit-for-purpose guidance that is practical, actionable, and grounded in real-world conditions.

The Safety Program Coordinator role also supports the management of third-party safety platforms, subcontractor vetting processes, and alignment with client-specific safety and compliance requirements.

• Conduct subcontractor safety vetting reviews, including evaluation of safety programs, performance, and documentation.
• Maintain and update third-party safety platforms (e.g., ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce).
• Complete client safety questionnaires, proposals, and prequalification requests.
• Develop and update practical, field-focused safety training content.
• Support the development and improvement of safety policies, procedures, and guidance.
• Provide hazard-specific guidance to Regional Safety Managers for JSA development and PPE selection/use.
• Partner with H&S team members and field leadership to align programs with real-world work conditions.
• Administer and support training in the LMS (Cornerstone), including assignments and content updates.
• Identify gaps or inefficiencies and recommend practical improvements.
• Support broader H&S initiatives and special projects.

Qualifications

• High School diploma or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience supporting field operations (environmental, construction, industrial, utilities, or similar).
• Practical, field-informed safety experience with a strong understanding of how work is performed in the field.
• Experience developing or adapting field-ready safety policies, procedures, or training.
• Experience with hazard assessments, Job Safety Analysis (JSA) development, and/or PPE selection.
• Familiarity with subcontractor vetting and third-party safety platforms (e.g., ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce).
• Ability to translate safety requirements into clear, usable guidance.
• Ability to work across teams and balance compliance requirements with operational needs.
• Proven ability to work independently in a remote environment, manage competing priorities, and deliver results without direct supervision.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Requirements

• Experience with a Learning Management System (preferably Cornerstone).
• Preference for practical, field-applicable, fit-for-purpose solutions over theoretical approaches.
• Experience in environmental consulting, industrial hygiene, construction oversight, or similar field-adjacent roles.
• Prior experience developing safety training content or instructional materials.
• Familiarity with onboarding processes and field readiness requirements.
• Working knowledge of OSHA and/or DOT requirements as applied in field settings.

Benefits

• Company-subsidized medical and dental.
• Company-paid life, short, and long-term disability.
• 401k match, tuition assistance, and more.
• Cross-training and the ability to work on a variety of projects.
• Performance-based bonuses or other incentives.
• Working with the best and brightest in the industry.
• 2,000+ employee national firm with 70+ locations across the US.
