Job type:
Full Time

We are hiring a Manager, HSE Communications to join our Internal Comms team and help us align, inform, and train employees on health, safety, and environment (HSE)

Our people work in a myriad of ways: in the field, at power plants, at data centers, on construction sites, on the factory floor, in offices, and traveling in between

Many of them don’t sit at a desk during the workday. Safety is Job #1 and we want them to have the knowledge and tools to work productively and safely

We’re looking for a communications practitioner and world-class writer who can turn complex HSE topics into clear, consistent, relevant communications

Furthermore, the desired candidate should be proficient in visual communication to design media—such as logos, graphics, and posters that translates expectations into clear, direct messaging across diverse operational environments

You’ll be embedded in the corporate HSE team working with HSE Program Managers, our HSE Training Manager, Safety Engineers, and other HSE leaders throughout the enterprise to identify and prioritize critical topics, and build the internal comms plan to address them

The role takes mastery of messaging and storytelling, a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to execution, and a meticulous eye for detail

Your work may extend to external comms, too. Our HSE strategy is distinctly Crusoe, and telling that story well can build the brand with customers, partners, and candidates
