Health & Safety Specialist

About the role

Take Safety Beyond Compliance At Gateway Services, Health & Safety isn't a function that operates from the sidelines. Our H&S team works directly with Operations to understand what's happening in our Care Centers, identify risks, solve problems and help our teams go home safely every day. We're looking for a Health & Safety Specialist to support Gateway's operations across the Central region. This is a field-facing opportunity for an H&S professional who enjoys being where the work happens. You'll partner directly with operational leaders, conduct workplace assessments and inspections, support incident investigations, help identify practical preventive actions and ensure commitments don't disappear after the investigation or audit is finished. You'll have the opportunity to influence safety across a geographically diverse operational business while being part of a broader H&S team that provides the technical programs, resources and support you need to succeed.

Gateway Services is North America's leading pet aftercare provider, supporting veterinary professionals and pet families during one of the most difficult moments of pet ownership. Protecting the people who perform that work matters just as much.

• Get into the operation. This isn't a role built around sitting behind a desk reviewing reports. You'll spend meaningful time in our Care Centers, working directly with the people responsible for operating them.
• Be a partner, not just the safety police. We want Operations leaders to involve H&S because the advice they receive is practical, responsive and useful.
• See your recommendations put into practice. You'll identify hazards, recommend controls and follow corrective actions through to completion.
• Work across a diverse regional footprint. You'll gain experience supporting multiple locations, leaders and operational environments across central United States and Canada.
• Make safety easier to understand and execute. Your job isn't simply to explain what a standard says. It's to help our leaders understand what good looks like and translate requirements into practical action.
