The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

The Metro Safety Administrator plays a key role in advancing a districtwide Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) that emphasizes leadership commitment, worker participation, continuous improvement, and integration of safety into daily operations.

This position provides technical expertise and field-level support to employees, supervisors, and managers to identify and control hazards, promote safe work practices, and ensure compliance with occupational safety and health, environmental, and other applicable regulations.

This role requires both office and field work (approximately 50/50) and involves regular travel throughout the Metro District. The incumbent operates with a high degree of independence and collaborates across all levels of the organization to prevent injuries, vehicle incidents, and environmental harm.

This position will be based out of a Metro District truck station or office. The location will be determined at the time the position is filled.
