Industrial Safety Manager & Business Development Specialist About the Company We are a specialized industrial contractor providing field and shop-applied weld overlay services to clients in petroleum refining, petrochemical processing, pulp and paper, power generation, and related heavy industries. Our work is technical, our team is tight-knit, and our standards are high. We don't do corporate bureaucracy — we do quality work, done safely, on time. About the Role This is not a desk job, and it's not for someone looking to punch a clock and collect a paycheck. We're looking for a self-starter with a hands-on industrial background who has transitioned into safety and wants to take full ownership of our safety program — while also representing the company at industry events and helping us build client relationships. If you're the kind of person who sees a problem and fixes it, who communicates openly, who takes pride in developing your expertise, and who thrives in a lean, entrepreneurial environment — keep reading.
