We are looking for an Occupational Health Manager to lead and strengthen our workplace health strategy, ensuring employees work in a safe, compliant, and supportive environment. This role is responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring occupational health programs that reduce risk, promote employee well-being, and align with legal and organizational standards. The Occupational Health Manager serves as a key advisor to leadership, human resources, safety teams, and employees on matters related to workplace health, injury prevention, medical surveillance, return-to-work planning, and health education.
In this position, you will assess workplace health risks, analyze incident and absence trends, and recommend practical solutions that improve both employee outcomes and operational performance. You will collaborate with internal stakeholders and external medical providers to coordinate health assessments, case management, wellness initiatives, and regulatory reporting. A strong understanding of occupational health regulations, health promotion strategies, and confidential employee support practices is essential.
The ideal candidate combines clinical or occupational health knowledge with leadership, communication, and program management skills. You should be comfortable working across departments, interpreting health and safety data, and building policies that support prevention and compliance. You will also play an important role in fostering a culture where health, safety, and well-being are integrated into daily operations and long-term planning.
Success in this role requires sound judgment, empathy, discretion, and the ability to balance employee care with business needs. You will help shape procedures for health screenings, ergonomic interventions, mental health awareness, exposure management, and fitness-for-duty evaluations. In addition, you will support managers in responding appropriately to health-related workplace issues and ensure that records, processes, and communications meet professional and legal standards.
This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive professional who is passionate about protecting people at work and improving organizational resilience. If you are experienced in occupational health management and motivated to create healthier workplaces through strategic planning, education, and collaboration, we encourage you to apply.
