Safety, Performance and Leadership Coach

Purpose and Scope

The Safety, Performance and Leadership Coach position (hereafter simply referred to as Coach) at CAVU International plays the key role in delivering our clients the world’s best consulting services for high- hazard work environments where the consequences of human failure are unacceptable. The Coach is embedded on site with the client’s crew to deliver the coaching and mentoring necessary to improve team behaviors and organizational culture. He/she uses the client’s tools and programs to define their "Perfect Day” and focuses their team on these targets based on their organization’s strengths and opportunities for improvement. The Coach then develops a deliberate approach to making the perfect day repeatable throughout their organization.

In the execution of his/her roles and responsibilities, the Coach routinely serves as the face of the Company on “hitch” (work period/event of various durations at a specific client on/off-shore rig or facility) with the customer – often with little to no supervision. As such, the position requires an extremely self- motivated individual who is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to perform the mission with excellence even in the face of long hours and austere environments.
