Consultant, Continuous Improvement & Change

Are you looking to transform the world of work through strategy and culture? Are you worn out helping big companies just find ways to pad the bottom line and seek greater purpose in your work? Are you passionate about making a difference in the world and positively influencing the safety and wellbeing of others?

Propulo Consulting is the leading Safety Culture Strategic Advisory firm. In North America, nearly 14 workers needlessly die every day in workplace fatalities, and that trend has barely shifted in the last 10 years. We shape and implement strategies for leading organizations that are committed to eliminating workplace Serious Injuries and Fatalities.

We are seeking a dynamic and seasoned Consultant, Continuous Improvement & Change, to support key safety culture transformations, acting as an enabler for strategic initiatives and ensuring effective execution. While Safety experience is not required, Consulting experience in Continuous Improvement, Organizational Change, Communication and/or Business Transformation is required. The ideal candidate will possess a passion for safety and ensuring that workers come home safe to their loved ones.

Leveraging experience in Continuous Improvement & Change, this role effectively supports the assessment, development, and implementation of strategies for Safety Culture Transformations across large organizations. The right candidate will bring strategic thinking, business acumen, communications expertise, intellectual curiosity, energy, and creativity to help increase the impact of our consulting projects.
