Health & Safety Compliance Director

About Carylon

Since 1949, Carylon Corporation has grown into a national network of operating companies specializing in sewer maintenance, industrial cleaning, water supply maintenance, and sediment and sludge remediation. Our companies help municipalities, utilities, and industrial clients keep essential infrastructure running safely and in compliance with environmental regulations. Given the field-intensive, safety-critical nature of the work — confined space entry, traffic control, hydro-excavation, chemical cleaning, and heavy equipment operation — safety leadership is central to the company's success.

The Director will establish safety strategies, policies, standards, training, reporting, and performance expectations while leading and developing Carylon's EHST & Compliance Managers.

This role will partner closely with Operations to integrate safety into business decisions, ensure regulatory compliance, reduce risk, and drive consistent safety practices across all operating companies.
