The CEO will play a defining role in strengthening safety culture, advancing strategic partnerships, and ensuring NLCSA continues to deliver value to members, industry, and the public.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO provides strategic, operational, and industry leadership to advance NLCSA’s mandate and build on the current strong foundation. The CEO is accountable for the organizational performance, stakeholder confidence, and long‑term sustainability.

This is a highly visible role requiring a leader with deep construction safety credibility, strong governance experience, and the ability to effectively engage government, regulators, industry partners, and members.

  • Lead the continued growth and adoption of the SiteSafe Certification Program , with a focus on engaging smaller construction businesses and demonstrating its value as a practical safety tool.
  • Ensure programs and services, including training, audit programs, and member services, remain relevant, accessible, and aligned with industry needs and regulatory requirements.
  • Government & Stakeholder Relations

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with WorkplaceNL, municipal, provincial, and federal government partners, and industry associations.
  • Act as NLCSA’s primary spokesperson and advocate, representing the organization with professionalism and credibility.
  • Leverage established relationships and industry knowledge to advance NLCSA’s objectives.
  • Provide overall leadership for day‑to‑day operations, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities.
