Responsibilities & Expectations:

The Vice President of Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) serves as the enterprise leader responsible for building and sustaining a world-class safety culture across IPS. Reporting directly to the Chief Performance Officer, this executive will lead a geographically dispersed team of site, regional, and divisional HSE professionals while ensuring IPS maintains a relentless focus on critical risk management, leadership accountability, talent development, and operational excellence - with the understanding that safety excellence and business performance are inseparable.

Lead enterprise initiatives involving electrical safety, energized work, arc flash protection, lockout/tagout, confined space entry, lifting and rigging, driving safety, contractor safety, and field service operations.
Ensure strong governance and consistent execution of HSE standards across all divisions, service centers, and field operations.
Develop executive-level reporting and dashboards that provide meaningful visibility into both leading indicators (observations, near-miss rates, safety conversation frequency, audit closure) and lagging indicators, emerging risks, and organizational capability.
Lead incident investigations, root cause analyses, corrective action programs, and enterprise-wide learning initiatives.
Partner with Operations, HR, Legal, Risk Management, and CIPS leaders to strengthen safety performance and operational discipline.
Embed IPS safety culture as a foundational integration priority in acquired businesses - not a post-close afterthought - ensuring standards and accountability are established.

Represent IPS with customers, regulators, industry organizations, and external stakeholders as a senior executive leader .
Build safety leadership capability in operational leaders - Division Presidents, Service Center GMs, and field supervisors - ensuring every leader is equipped and expected to drive safety performance, not just the HSE team.
Leverage technology and predictive analytics to drive proactive risk identification, digital safety workflows, and real-time performance visibility across the enterprise.

A robust leading indicator program - behavioral observations, near-miss reporting, safety conversation frequency, and audit closure rates - is active across all divisions and demonstrably driving proactive risk reduction.
Safety metrics are embedded in operational leader scorecards and performance evaluations enterprise-wide, reinforcing safety as a core leadership competency alongside financial and operational results.

Professional certifications such as CSP, CIH, CUSP, CHMM, or equivalent strongly preferred.
