Co-op/Contract Health, Safety, and Environmental Coordinator

CO-OP/Contract Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator - Western Canada

Co-op/Contract Position | Calgary, AB (Travel within Western Canada Required)

This is not your typical co-op opportunity.

If you're looking for a placement where you'll spend your term observing from the sidelines, this probably isn't the right fit.

If you want to:

• Gain hands-on experience on active construction projects

• Learn from experienced HSE and operational leaders

• Participate in inspections, audits, investigations, and risk assessments

• Help support a strong safety culture built on care, learning, and continuous improvement

• Build a foundation for a successful career in Health, Safety & Environment

...this role is built for that.

Why Soletanche Bachy Canada – We Care

At Soletanche Bachy Canada, safety isn't a rulebook. It's how we care for each other.

We are building a culture where people feel safe to speak up, leaders coach rather than blame, learning is valued alongside compliance, and risks are managed through effective planning, systems, and critical controls.

With more than 120 years of experience in North America and as part of the Soletanche Freyssinet global group, we combine local expertise with international capability while creating an environment where people can learn, contribute, and grow.

What This Job Actually Is

This is an opportunity to become an active contributor to our Health, Safety & Environmental team while gaining real-world experience in the construction industry.

You'll work alongside HSE professionals, Project Managers, Superintendents, Supervisors, and field crews to support the implementation and continuous improvement of our Health, Safety & Environmental programs. You'll gain exposure to project operations, safety systems, inspections, investigations, audits, training, reporting, and risk management.

This role combines field exposure, learning, collaboration, and professional development. No two days are the same.
