Job Title

Most people avoid investigations.We built a role around them.At Hutton Safety Group, were looking for someone who gets genuinely fired up by figuring out what really happened. Not the surface-level answer. Not the version written to close a file. The real story underneath the event.If youre the type of person who sees an incident and immediately starts pulling threads, asking better questions, spotting system failures, and connecting dots others miss, keep reading.This role is investigation-focused, but not investigation-only. Youll also support our advisor team on active projects across industrial, construction, and energy environments to continue building your operational knowledge, field exposure, and credibility. The stronger your understanding of how work actually happens, the stronger your investigations become.This is not a clipboard compliance role.This is for someone who wants to become exceptional at incident investigation.About Hutton Safety GroupWe act as the safety department for companies that dont have one. When incidents happen, clients call us because they need more than paperwork. They need someone who can step into difficult situations, uncover the real causes, navigate tough conversations, and help leadership make meaningful changes that actually reduce risk.Most investigations are completed remotely through interviews, document review, photo analysis, timelines, and evidence gathering. But when the situation demands it, youll be expected to mobilize quickly and head to site.Sometimes that means a same-day departure to a facility, construction project, or incident scene in Alberta, BC, or Saskatchewan. If you need every day perfectly predictable, this role will feel uncomfortable. If you thrive under pressure and like meaningful work that matters, youll probably love it.What Youll DoLead investigations from initial response through final closeoutConduct interviews with workers, supervisors, and leadership teamsReview evidence including reports, procedures, permits, FLHAs, photos, and timelinesAnalyze events using SCAT and other root cause methodologiesIdentify both immediate causes and deeper system failuresWrite reports that are sharp, credible, and actionableDevelop corrective actions that improve operations, not just satisfy paperworkPresent findings and facilitate difficult conversations with clientsSupport field advisors and project teams to continue building operational understandingRespond to serious or high-risk events with professionalism and urgencyWhat You Bring3+ years of investigation experience in industrial, construction, oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, or related sectorsStrong understanding of SCAT methodology or equivalent root cause analysis systemsExcellent written communication skillsStrong interviewing ability and emotional intelligenceAbility to stay calm and objective in high-pressure situationsStrong critical thinking and pattern recognition skillsValid drivers license and ability to travel on short noticeThis Role Is For You If:You love investigations enough that you read investigation reports for funYou care more about understanding failure than assigning blameYou are naturally curious and ask better questions than most peopleYou get frustrated by weak corrective actions and generic root causesYou want to specialize and become known for this skillsetYou like autonomy and dont need someone managing every minute of your dayYou can walk into uncomfortable situations and still communicate professionallyWhy Join Hutton Safety Group?Investigation-heavy role with exposure to complex, real-world eventsOpportunity to become highly specialized in incident investigationCalgary-based team supporting clients across Canada and the USShared 24/7 on-call rotation with two other team members so the responsibility is distributed and sustainableHigh trust, high autonomy, high standardsA company that believes safety should improve operations, not slow them downA team that cares about getting to the truth, not protecting opticsCompensation$80,000-100,000 per yearBenefitsCompany eventsDental careDisability insuranceExtended health careLife insuranceMileage reimbursementOn-site parkingPaid time offHow to ApplyApply directly through LinkedIn.Want to stand out?
