Job Description

HSE Manager
Corporate Safety and Contingent Workforce

Employment: Full time   |   Coverage: Corporate offices and client worksites Position Summary Bergaila is seeking a hands-on Health, Safety and Environmental Manager to lead safety programs for employees assigned to oil and gas and industrial client locations. This corporate role combines client interaction, field support, incident management, fleet safety and safety systems administration. The HSE Manager turns information from Novara Flex, Holman and Geotab into timely action that protects employees, strengthens client relationships and reduces preventable losses.
The position partners with Operations, Account Managers, the Fleet Manager, Recruiting, HR and Business Development to establish clear responsibilities, maintain reliable records and ensure safety issues are followed through to documented resolution. Contingent Workforce and Client Safety

• Coordinate Bergaila and host-client safety responsibilities before assignments begin, including job hazards, required training, PPE, site orientation, emergency procedures and incident reporting contacts. Verify readiness and address gaps with Operations and the client.
• Serve as a primary HSE contact for clients; participate in safety meetings, worksite visits, audits, investigations and performance reviews. Communicate requirements and corrective actions to Account Managers and assigned employees.
• Maintain practical safety procedures for dispersed employees, including driving, lone work, hazard reporting, stop-work escalation and task-specific exposures. Coordinate environmental and spill-response requirements applicable to Bergaila assignments.
• Support employee orientations, refresher training and safety communications. Track credentials and client requirements, and coordinate updates when duties, locations or hazards change.
• Support Business Development with accurate safety information for proposals, prequalification submissions and client onboarding. Maintain safety documentation in client-required contractor platforms, where applicable.

Incident Management and Follow Through

• Lead timely reporting and investigation of injuries, near misses, vehicle accidents, property damage and environmental events. Collect statements, photographs and relevant records; identify causes and assign corrective actions with owners and due dates.
• Coordinate with HR, Operations, insurers and clients on injury response, claims documentation and return-to-work activities. Protect medical and other confidential information through appropriate access and handling practices.
• Track open incidents and claims through closure. Preserve evidence and coordinate repair records, third-party responsibility and potential recovery of losses with the Fleet Manager, Finance and insurers. Escalate delays and unresolved exposures.

Novara Flex Administration

• Own day-to-day administration and continuous improvement of Novara Flex, including incident forms, inspections, vehicle-condition photographs, training records and corrective-action workflows.
• Configure and maintain approved forms, notifications, task assignments, permissions and reports in coordination with internal owners and Novara support. Apply access restrictions appropriate to sensitive records and validate configuration changes before rollout.
• Train employees and Account Managers on reporting and assigned tasks. Review data quality, missing documentation and overdue actions; follow up until records are complete and actions are verified.

Fleet Safety with Holman and Geotab

• Partner with the Fleet Manager and Account Managers on vehicle readiness, condition inspections, maintenance follow-up, repair documentation and driver accountability. Escalate safety concerns before a vehicle is issued or returned to service.
• Use Holman records and available services to track maintenance status, repairs, downtime and accident-related activity within Bergaila’s contracted program. Coordinate required approvals and follow-up with responsible managers.
• Use Geotab reports and alerts to identify speeding, harsh driving, seat belt exceptions and other available risk indicators. Validate events, coordinate driver coaching, document follow-up and escalate repeat concerns under company policy.
• Maintain consistent employee, driver, vehicle and incident identifiers across systems. Reconcile information through available reports, approved integrations or documented manual processes; identify gaps in tracking or ownership.

This role provides HSE standards, guidance, monitoring and escalation. Account Managers retain operational responsibility for their assigned employees and vehicles; the Fleet Manager coordinates fleet services and vehicle administration. Qualifications

• Five or more years of progressive HSE experience supporting oil and gas, industrial services, staffing or a geographically dispersed workforce; contingent labor or host-client safety coordination experience strongly preferred.
• Hands-on Novara Flex experience, including configuration, reporting and workflow management, strongly preferred. Experience with Holman and Geotab preferred; comparable fleet management and telematics experience considered.
• Demonstrated ability to investigate incidents, manage corrective actions, support fleet safety, analyze trends and communicate effectively with clients, field employees and leadership.
• Working knowledge of applicable occupational safety and environmental requirements, incident recordkeeping and contractor safety practices. Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent relevant experience; CSP, ASP or comparable credentials preferred.

Performance Expectations and Work Requirements Success will be measured through timely incident reporting and closure, corrective-action completion, training compliance, audit readiness, documented driver coaching, improvement in preventable incident trends and follow-through on claims and recoveries. Measures and targets will be established with the VP of Operations.
The role requires travel to client worksites and Bergaila offices, participation in field activities using required PPE, and availability to coordinate urgent incident response. Essential duties may be performed with reasonable accommodation.

Bergaila is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to any status protected by applicable law. Reasonable accommodations are available during the application process and employment.
