Risk Safety Consultant

If you love workplace safety, problem-solving, and building strong client relationships, our Risk Safety Consultant role might be the perfect match for you! You’ll partner with business owners to proactively identify and mitigate risks, enhance safety programs, and help reduce workplace injuries and workers’ compensation claims.

Apply today if you’re passionate about safety, compliance, and enjoy turning data and inspections into meaningful solutions for clients.

About the role:

Time management and communication are essential in this position because you’ll be responsible for performing detailed workplace assessments, guiding clients on regulatory compliance, and delivering timely, accurate reports.

A typical day could include:

• Conducting workplace safety surveys (onsite and virtual) to identify potential hazards and evaluate safety programs.
• Analyzing claims and incident data to uncover trends, root causes, and opportunities for loss prevention.

• Collaborating with Nextep’s underwriting, sales, and risk teams to assess prospective clients and support risk management strategies.
• Guiding clients on accident investigations, safety training, and compliance with federal and state regulations (OSHA, ANSI, NFPA).
