Job description
Build something that matters. At Delta Star the work we do has a real impact. Every transformer we build helps deliver reliable electricity to homes, businesses, and communities across North America. As we continue to grow, we are looking for people who want more than just a job. We are looking for individuals who want to learn, contribute, solve challenges, and build a meaningful career alongside a team that is committed to delivering power at all times.
Summary At Delta Star, safety is more than a requirement. It's a commitment to our people, our customers, and the quality of everything we build. We're looking for an Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Technician who is passionate about creating a safe, compliant, and engaging work environment where employees can do their best work every day.
In this role, you'll partner closely with the EHS Coordinator, operations leaders, maintenance teams, and employees across the facility to support environmental, health, and safety initiatives. From conducting workplace inspections and supporting incident investigations to delivering safety coaching and maintaining compliance documentation, you'll play a hands-on role in strengthening our safety culture and driving continuous improvement.
This position is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow a career in Environmental, Health & Safety while gaining practical experience in regulatory compliance, incident investigation, employee engagement, risk reduction, and EHS program administration.
What You'll Do
As an EHS Technician, you'll help ensure our workplace remains safe, compliant, and focused on continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities include
Workplace Safety & Hazard Prevention Conduct routine facility inspections, safety observations, and workplace assessments. Identify hazards, unsafe conditions, and opportunities to reduce workplace risk. Track corrective actions and partner with site teams to ensure timely resolution.

Employee Safety Engagement & Coaching Provide day-to-day safety coaching and reinforcement of safe work practices. Promote employee involvement in safety programs, reporting, and awareness activities. Support toolbox talks, safety meetings, observations, and engagement initiatives.

A Day in the Life
No two days are exactly alike. One morning may begin with a facility walkthrough, identifying potential hazards and discussing corrective actions with supervisors. Later, you may assist with a safety-training session, support an incident investigation, or review safety records to ensure compliance requirements are met.
Throughout the day, you'll collaborate with employees, leaders, and support teams across the facility to promote safe work practices, solve problems, and contribute to a workplace where safety remains a shared responsibility. Your visibility, communication, and attention to detail will have a direct impact on employee wellbeing and operational success.
