Summary We’re looking for a hands-on HSE Specialist to support field teams and operations across Eastern Quebec.

If you're someone who thrives in dynamic, field-based settings and enjoys translating policy into real-world practice, this could be a perfect fit.

Key Responsibilities Conduct regular field visits to operational sites across Quebec, supporting employees and subcontractors in applying safety and environmental standards.

Provide expert guidance on safety policies, procedures, and technical compliance with local and internal regulations.

Advise teams on sustainable practices and help integrate those principles into day-to-day work.

Track and analyze safety and environmental performance metrics; prepare reports and share findings with leadership to support data-driven decisions.

Contribute to the development and rollout of new programs led by the HSE and sustainability team.

Take initiative on related tasks or challenges that support broader safety and environmental goals—especially those that require collaboration and cross-functional input.

You will need at least five years of experience in health and safety, ideally with some exposure to renewable energy or complex field operations. The role also requires a confident communicator who can turn technical regulations into clear, actionable steps. And above all, you lead by example—supporting others with empathy, integrity, and a shared commitment to safety and sustainability.
