SHE Transformation Coach

The SHE Transformation Coach will drive operational safety excellence across assigned operating assets by supporting the implementation of enterprise SHE standards, systems, and critical risk requirements while guiding site teams to consistently apply approved governance and procedures. A core focus of the role involves building workforce competency—spanning leaders, supervisors, permit authorities, contractors, and site SHE personnel—through structured coaching, practical demonstrations, and workplace mentoring. Operationally, the Coach provides hands-on guidance during the planning and execution of high-risk work to strengthen hazard identification, task risk assessment, and critical control execution.

Administrative & Coordination Scope

Beyond field coaching, the role handles end-to-end administration and coordination for the site safety transformation program. The Coach manages coaching schedules, training logistics, and cross-departmental coordination between site leadership, contractors, and central SHE teams. This includes tracking performance metrics, maintaining competency databases, coordinating audit schedules, and serving as the primary operational liaison for Enterprise/National SHE initiatives.

To ensure continuous improvement and compliance, the Coach conducts robust field verifications, including PTW audits, leadership walkabouts, and critical control reviews. A significant emphasis is placed on leadership development, specifically coaching frontline leaders/supervisors and Site Senior Leaders to cultivate visible safety leadership and foster true ownership of critical risks. Furthermore, the role manages change by supporting the rollout of new enterprise safety initiatives, driving behavioral adoption, and embedding sustainable practices into daily operations.

Finally, the Coach promotes organizational learning by facilitating incident investigation coaching, capturing lessons learned, identifying systemic implementation gaps, and recommending strategic refinements to enterprise SHE standards.
