Risk & Safety Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Spyglass Talent Solutions, a retained recruitment firm, has been engaged by a confidential client to conduct a search for a Risk & Safety Manager.

Our client is a well-established, family-owned specialty construction subcontractor serving commercial and industrial customers. The position is based in central North Carolina. The Risk & Safety Manager reports directly to the President and is the go-to person for contracts, safety, insurance, HR support, fleet and facility needs. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across multiple departments in a paper-based environment.

This is a true “catch-all” role where no two weeks look the same. Some weeks are spent reviewing contracts and updating safety records at a desk, and others are spent visiting job sites, handling a claim, or coordinating a facility project. There is no manual labor involved.

Key Responsibilities

Contract Review

• Read, review, and mark up customer contracts and purchase orders, flagging liability language and terms that need to be revised before signing.
• Negotiate revisions with customers and general contractors until contracts are fully executed.
• Complete customer prequalification packages and applications.
• Review and renew third-party contracts annually, and create and file sub-labor contracts.

Safety

• Oversee the company’s safety program, including the safety manual, weekly toolbox talks, and OSHA 300 logs.
• Maintain the safety training matrix in Excel, schedule required training (OSHA, First Aid/CPR/AED, customer-specific and third-party compliance training), and make sure employees are signed up on time.
• Visit job sites regularly, ideally weekly and shortly after a new job starts, to conduct safety inspections and build relationships with customer safety directors and site safety staff.
• Complete customer-required safety documents (SSSP, JSA, SOP, etc.) and keep third-party compliance portals up to date, including EMR reports.

Insurance and Claims

• Work with the company’s insurance broker on the annual package insurance renewal (June through August), including general liability and auto.
• Manage auto, workers’ compensation, and property damage claims from start to finish, including incident investigations, job site visits, photos, filing, and follow-up.
• Support employees after a workplace injury, including coordinating medical care and return-to-duty testing.
• Issue certificates of insurance (COIs) to customers and upload them to third-party contractor sites.

Human Resources

• Conduct new hire orientation and coordinate background checks, drug testing, and fit-for-duty appointments.
• Assist managers with hiring, discipline, and employee relations, with support from the company’s third-party HR service.
• Post job openings, attend job fairs, and keep required labor law postings and employee disclosures current.

Fleet and Facilities

• Oversee the company’s vehicle fleet, including GPS tracking, insurance cards, recalls, and new vehicle setup.
• Coordinate building maintenance and repairs, including HVAC, the alarm system, office equipment, and annual fire extinguisher inspections.
• Gather bids and quotes from outside contractors for facility projects and oversee their work on site.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in a related field.
• Comfort reading long, detailed contracts and spotting liability concerns.
• Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage many different priorities at once.
• Willingness to get out of the office and visit active job sites weekly.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel.
• Valid driver’s license.
• High school diploma or equivalent required.
