Looking for your next health and safety role?
Many organisations advertise safety manager jobs, but there is a particularly great need within the energy, process and infrastructure industries due to the risk involved in the work. This demand is global, so it’s common for employers to recruit new talent internationally.
Typical employers include:
- Oil and gas - HSE professionals are essential on oil rigs. A combination of extreme working conditions, long shifts, heavy machinery and flammable materials all contribute risks that need to be managed.
- Petrochemicals - In a refinery setting, HSE professionals need to manage risks around the use of heavy equipment, exposure to high temperatures and hazardous gases, and handling of flammable materials.
- Construction - Common duties for a HSE professional in construction include managing risks around working at height, moving heavy objects, handling asbestos and electricity.
- Mining - Mining accidents such as tunnel collapses, floods and fires can be fatal, so HSE professionals play a vital part in keeping staff safe and productive.

I was only with Airswift for 6 months and I lost count of how many calls I received from them to see how I was going. I was lucky to get a call from other recruiters. My new job will be direct but I would definitely use Airswift again in the future.
Airswift has helped us fill 5 roles across various functional groups in North America including Engineering, Project Management, QA/QC, Health and Safety and Business Development in the last 6 months. I’m happy with the quality of candidates and the level of service that I’ve received. I believe that Airswift has done a great job of identifying candidates in the British Columbia and USA market despite the shortage of talent.
