Safety & Regulatory Compliance Manager

The Safety & Regulatory Compliance Manager manages the regulatory compliance efforts and builds safety culture for the organization.  This person should make safety regulations easy to understand and implement safety practices to improve our daily work.  This person should also actively measure all safety and compliance efforts to lead us toward positive change in our safety practices.  To meet our expectations for what this role can be, you will participate thoughtfully during strategic discussions of business goals and action plans.  This is not a good role for someone who is driven to gain and possess “power.” You are part of the key decision team that works at RMA and should be seen as a leader.

As our organization is regulated by many regulatory bodies, we expect you to have familiarity and experience in managing FDA, DOT, OSHA, EPA, Homeland Security, State & Local Governments, and the Fire Department regulations. You will manage all claims, audit our practices, and push us to be ever smarter and safer in our work, because doing it right the first time is actually faster, even when cutting corners is tempting.

Operating in 5 states with 14 branches, this is a leadership role and will come with the responsibility of leading RMA’s goal to maximize the safety and performance of the company. The Safety Manager role will teach best practices to our branch and production plant managers and assist them in improving the safety of their teams. We believe that the right person for this position will not accept excuses and will not coddle people. Instead, this person will work well with people through relationship management to improve the overall safety habits of our employees.
