Safety Manager in Vernon

Our Safety Manager works closely with operations to make sure work is done safely, every day. This role provides trusted leadership, strengthens safety culture, and champions practical, people-focused solutions across the organization. It’s an opportunity to make a real impact in a values-driven, future-focused company. If this sounds like something you're interested in, we’re looking for a Safety Manager to partner with our mills, woodlands, and operational teams across the organization. This role can be based out of any location we have an office or operating facility. Strong relationships are built on-site, and this role involves up to 70% travel, depending on which Tolko office you call home. We value diversity at Tolko and know that experience and knowledge come in many forms. Even if you don’t have all the qualifications above, we would love to hear your story and have you grow with us.

In this role, you will:

• Act as a strategic partner to operations and leaders on all occupational health and safety matters.
• Provide leadership and guidance to Safety and Asset Protection Advisors (Canada) and Safety Managers (U.S.).
• Lead regulatory compliance initiatives across all Tolko operating jurisdictions.
• Drive implementation and continuous improvement of Tolko’s safety standards, with a strong focus on leadership behaviours and safety culture.
• Partner with Woodlands Managers to develop and sustain effective contractor safety programs.
• Coach and influence leaders at all levels to strengthen safety accountability and consistency.
• Lead development and delivery of occupational health and safety and safety leadership training.
• Oversee our Claims Management Program to support injured employees and minimize disruptions.
• Develop and execute internal and external audit programs to measure compliance and program effectiveness.
• Report on safety performance, inspections, regulatory changes, and emerging issues to leadership, the Board, and external stakeholders.

So, what’s in it for you? You’ll take on an exciting new challenge with supportive team members. You’ll earn a competitive salary based on your skills and experience. The expected base salary range for this position is $117,000 to $156,000 per year. You’ll be eligible for excellent benefits, so you don’t have to choose between your bottom line and your wellbeing or your future. You will be eligible to participate in Tolko’s bonus program. You may also be eligible for relocation support including community connections so you can live (and play) where you work. You’ll be supported in continued development through on-the-job and classroom training and reimbursement of tuition and membership fees. You’ll be part of a positive, innovative, and inclusive work environment. If you want to work in a sustainable, future-focused industry, there is no better place than Tolko.
