Industrial Safety Coordinator

Purpose of Role

The Industrial Safety Coordinator serves as the primary MSHA-focused safety representative for assigned active mine-site work. This role supports safe execution by monitoring compliance with MSHA regulations, company policies, and contractor/mine-site requirements; coordinating with mine management and contractors; conducting inspections and training; and promoting a proactive safety culture.
