Onsite Safety Coordinator

Job Description

Job Description

Safety isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.

At  Martin Concrete Construction , safety goes beyond hard hats and checklists. It’s about  people ,  communication , and  doing the right thing every day, on every jobsite.  We’re currently looking for a  Bilingual Onsite Safety Coordinator who thrives in the field, builds strong relationships with crews, and understands that the most effective safety leaders  teach, coach, and lead by example . If you’re approachable, organized, proactive, and passionate about keeping people safe — we want to hear from you.

This is a  fast-paced, hands-on field role where no two days are the same. You’ll spend your time interacting with people, identifying hazards, leading safety discussions, and helping crews solve problems before incidents occur.

• Serve as the primary onsite safety resource, supporting crews and leadership.
• Conduct weekly safety inspections, document findings, and submit reports.
• Continuously monitor jobsite safety practices and address unsafe conditions immediately.
• Enforce OSHA regulations, customer safety programs, and company safety policies.
• Lead Toolbox Talks, Stretch & Flex sessions, and daily JSA meetings in an engaging, interactive way — not lectures.
• Communicate safety expectations clearly and respectfully in both English and Spanish.
• Collaborate with Superintendents and Safety leadership to implement corrective actions.
• Ensure proper use of PPE by employees and subcontractors.
• Report injuries, incidents, equipment damage, or thefts within required timeframes.
• Assist with scheduling safety training and maintaining compliance records.
• Stock and maintain safety supplies while upholding professional jobsite appearance.
• Attend required meetings and training sessions and contribute ideas to improve safety culture.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Fully bilingual (English and Spanish) is preferred, but the ability to confidently communicate in multiple languages in the field is required.
• Be able and willing to travel regularly between jobsites. 
• Be flexible with work hours and based on job and project needs. 
• Builds trust and rapport with diverse crews and personalities. 
• Understands construction environments and jobsite realities. 
• Has experience in safety coordination, construction safety, or a related field. 
• Is knowledgeable in OSHA standards and general construction safety practices. 
• Can manage multiple tasks while staying organized and detail oriented. 
• Leads with a help-first mindset, not an enforcement-only approach.
• Maintains professionalism in a fast-moving, hands-on environment.
• Are comfortable documenting findings and using basic technology (Word, Excel, Outlook).

Safety certifications, administrative experience, and prior field leadership are a plus.

Physical & Field Requirements

• Walking and standing for extended periods throughout the workday
