Description

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 Qualifications & Experience Required: * Bachelor’s degree in Safety, Risk Management, Environmental Health & Safety, Fire Science, or related field (or equivalent experience). * Minimum 5+ years of progressive safety leadership experience in multi-site or regional operations. * Demonstrated experience delivering live training to diverse workforces. * Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and general fire/life safety principles. * Proven ability to work independently in remote, fast-paced, and operationally complex environments. * Valid driver’s license and ability to travel as needed. Preferred * Experience in concessionaire, hospitality, parks, marinas, food service, fleet, or mixed-use operations. * Professional certifications (e.g., ASP, CSP, CHST, SSH, CHSP, or equivalent). * Prior experience working with federal land agencies, AHJs, or multi-employer worksites. * Strong presentation, facilitation, and executive communication skills.
