Amber Simmons
Safety Manager, Konecranes
My name is Amber Simmons. I am a Health, Safety, and Environmental manager with Konecranes. I have worked for Konecranes since October 2021. Prior to coming on board with Konecranes, I was a Training and Compliance instructor. I used to do compliance training for Konecranes in my previous job, which is how I discovered Konecranes! I provided training to Konecranes for just under 3 years before coming on board and starting my current position with them. ‘I didn’t always know I wanted to work in safety – I have a degree in Psychology and did a lot of work in research and development while earning my degree. While I was in College (and for a bit following), I worked as a Crisis Consultant. I have learned throughout all my roles that I love helping and supporting people. In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband. We love to visit different places locally and throughout different parts of the country. When I’m home, I love spoiling my two cats, working on jigsaw puzzles, and building Legos!
