What You’ll Be Doing

As Consultant, Health & Safety, you will contribute to the development of a healthy, safe and inclusive work environment by supporting the mandate of the Health & Safety Team, with a particular focus on ensuring all workplaces have active workplace health and safety representatives and committees, and as appropriate, the first aid readiness program is implemented and remains current in all workplaces. You will also ensure emergency procedures, evacuation plans, and trained emergency and fire safety teams are in place to provide guidance to team members – including team members with disabilities who may require additional support in this regard – in the event of an emergency.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you’ll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
