• Conduct regular jobsite inspections and audits
• Identify hazards and ensure corrections happen before incidents occur
• Lead toolbox talks, safety orientations and training
• Own procedures around lockout/tagout (LOTO), electrical safety, fall protection and confined space
• Investigate incidents and near misses, documenting root cause and corrective actions
• Serve as the point person for OSHA compliance, client safety requirements and third-party audits

• Partner with Project Managers and Superintendents on pre-task planning and project safety

• Strong communicator comfortable working directly with contractors, subs and field crews
• Confident, resilient personality — able to hold contractors accountable and enforce safety standards

What's In It for Me?

• Opportunity to build and shape safety processes from the ground up, not just police them
• Work on high-growth data center and critical infrastructure projects
• Operate independently with strong support from leadership
• Medical, dental and vision benefits
