The Driving Force Group of Companies is a network of world-class transportation and fleet management solutions companies. We're proud to be an Alberta success story that began in a rented office above a small service station. With a can-do attitude and people-first culture, we've grown into an industry leader, operating across Canada, spanning over 40 locations with over 600+ employees.
We are currently looking for a Health and Safety Advisor at our Edmonton location. Please note that this position is based at our Edmonton Corporate Office and requires an on-site presence five days per week. Following successful completion of the three-month probationary period, employees may be eligible for one remote workday per week under a hybrid work arrangement.
What Moves You:
You believe a strong safety culture is built through everyday actions, meaningful conversations, and a shared commitment to protecting people, and you take pride in helping create workplaces where everyone feels safe, supported, and heard.
You're energized by bringing structure and consistency to complex operations, knowing that your attention to detail, organization, and follow-through help keep safety programs effective and people accountable.
You enjoy building relationships with people across different locations and departments, approaching safety conversations with empathy, confidence, and a practical mindset that encourages collaboration rather than simply enforcing rules.
You're naturally curious and proactive, always looking for opportunities to strengthen safety practices, identify potential risks, and turn lessons learned into meaningful improvements.
You thrive in an environment where priorities can shift, bringing adaptability, sound judgment, and a solutions-focused approach to challenges while maintaining a strong commitment to doing things the right way.
What You'll Do:
Coordinate the day-to-day operations of our Health and Safety Management System (HSMS), keeping inspections, training, audits, emergency drills, and corrective actions on track while maintaining accurate records and supporting consistent safety practices across locations.
Support incident management and prevention by reviewing safety notifications, conducting assigned investigations using SCAT methodology, documenting findings, and collaborating with location leaders and Human Resources to address incidents and strengthen workplace safety.
Drive audit readiness and regulatory compliance by coordinating internal and external audits, supporting Certificate of Recognition (COR) and National Safety Code (NSC) requirements, monitoring legislative updates, and identifying opportunities to improve safety performance.
Partner with managers, supervisors, and employees to strengthen workplace safety through inspections, hazard assessments, emergency preparedness, and practical guidance that encourages employee participation and proactive risk management.
Develop and coordinate engaging safety communications, orientations, toolbox talks, and training initiatives while using safety data, reporting dashboards, and employee feedback to identify trends and recommend meaningful program improvements.
Travel between company locations to provide hands-on health and safety support, with most travel taking place within the Edmonton area and occasional out-of-town travel required for audits, incident response, and operational needs, including travel on short notice when necessary.
What You'll Bring:
A diploma or certificate in Occupational Health & Safety, along with at least two years of relevant health and safety experience, including hands-on experience within an established HSMS coordinating recurring activities, maintaining records, and following up on corrective actions.
COR Auditor certification or active progress toward certification, along with current first aid certification or a willingness to obtain it within six months of employment.
