Safety and Training Partner

Since 1933 Heath Consultants Incorporated is the leading provider of services and equipment to the natural gas and utility industry. Heath develops and manufactures its equipment in its own world‑class facility located in Houston, TX.

The Safety and Training (S&T) Partner is the front‑line trainer for new hire orientations and Operator Qualifications (OQ). The S&T Partner will conduct onboarding in their area of responsibility and will be expected to travel to support other areas and projects as needed. Delivering OQ training requires that the S&T Partners be certified on the OQ platforms as dictated by the client.

The S&T Partner is often the first Heath employee that new hires encounter and therefore must be a positive role model for the company. Safety and Training Partners are also required to be the face of the Safety Department in the field. They will conduct GREET inspections and will support front‑line managers and supervisors in compliance with both regulatory and Heath expectations.

The purpose of the Safety and Training partner is to serve as an expert on client and Heath expectations to seamlessly integrate new hires into Heath, and to manage safety in the field.
