Strategic Safety Leadership Lead the development and execution of an integrated OHSMS aligned with ISO 45001, corporate standards, SafeState, and high-energy hazard controls. Embed SIF potential (pSIF) identification, SIF actual (aSIF) prevention, and critical control verification into both construction workflows and large-scale modular manufacturing lines, where repetitive high-risk activities require engineered safeguards and standardized work. Drive organizational adoption of PausePoint as a mandatory decision-making tool before high-hazard work, including factory rework, lifting operations, testing, and factory-to-site transitions. Alignment With Enterprise Goals Collaborate with business unit executives to align safety strategy with modular production schedules, task planning, logistics timelines, and site commissioning milestones. Ensure SafeState onboarding, competency pathways, and readiness metrics are integrated into all modular factory operations and into mobilization planning for factory-built units shipped to construction sites. Support the scaling of manufacturing capacity safely by integrating safety requirements into capital equipment selection, layout design, and production engineering. Performance Accountability Drive accountability through leading and lagging indicators, including SIF-related metrics, SafeState verification rates, manufacturing quality escape trends, and PausePoint adherence. Oversee regional/site safety leadership to ensure consistent execution of high-hazard controls across factory production lines, test areas, electrical integration bays, and site installation activities. Governance, Incident Prevention & Learning Establish governance mechanisms for incident prevention, emergency response, investigation, RCA, and learning across manufacturing and construction operations. Ensure incidents and near misses undergo energy-based hazard review, and critical-control effectiveness analysis. Lead enterprise risk councils and learning teams focused on modularization risks such as: crane & rigging for module movement testing bays production line pinch/crush points high-volume powered-industrial-truck traffic shipping stability and load securement Regulatory & Standards Compliance Manage compliance with OSHA, EPA, NFPA, ANSI, ISO 45001, and industry-specific manufacturing regulations. Direct audits and gap assessments across factories, integration facilities, and job sites, ensuring seamless safety integration from modular fabrication through installation. Culture, Capability & Workforce Development Promote a unified culture of SafeState readiness, PausePoint, and human performance principles across manufacturing teams, construction trades, and commissioning personnel. Implement enterprise learning pathways and capability development tailored to modular manufacturing. External Representation & Leadership Interface Represent the organization in legal, regulatory, insurance, client, and industry safety forums related to both modular manufacturing and construction risk. Serve as a primary safety liaison to senior leadership, communicating enterprise SIF exposure trends, manufacturing capacity risks, and readiness indicators. Process Safety, Modularization & High-Energy Hazard Integration Oversee integration of human performance, PSM principles, and energy-control protocols across large-scale modular manufacturing - including electrical integration, mechanical assembly, and high-density testing environments. Ensure seamless alignment between factory-built systems and site installation procedures, focusing on SIF reduction across the entire factory ? transport ? installation ? commissioning lifecycle.
