Safety Manager

Safety Manager

Safety on a job site is critical as is the culture that drives it, and that's exactly what you'd be responsible for at Complete Fence. You would own the safety function from end to end, writing the policies, setting the standards, and building the systems that keep every crew, every job site, and every driver working safely and in line with OSHA and customer requirements, while the Field Safety Specialist works under you to put those standards into practice in the field every day.

This is a role for someone who wants to build a program from the ground up rather than just maintain one that already exists, and who is just as comfortable writing policy as they are walking a job site to see whether the program you build it living and breathing.

You will write and maintain the company's safety policies, procedures, and training programs, and you will be the person who sets the standards that Superintendents, crews, and the Field Safety Specialist are expected to work to on every job. As the company grows, you will be expected to grow the program along with it.

You will own the full certification and compliance calendar, covering OSHA, DOT, and whatever additional requirements individual customers bring to the table, and you will keep the company's documentation in a state where it could stand up to an audit on any given day. Working alongside Fleet and HR, you will partner with internal departments to make safety 'part of what we do around here' and not an oversight.

When something does go wrong, you will own the incident from the first report through investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action, and closeout, and you will report findings and trends to leadership and to the company's insurers in a way that turns each incident into a lesson the whole organization actually learns from.

You will track the leading and lagging indicators that tell the real story of how safe the company is, including near misses, recordables, and EMR, and you will establish and chair the Safety Committee, using it as the ear to the ground for continuous improvement. You may also engage with customers and general contractors on safety expectations and performance, and you will lead, coach, and hold accountable the Field Safety Specialist and any additional safety staff who join the team as it grows.

A Safety Manager who is doing this job well is the reason incidents keep trending down year over year, the reason an audit never turns up a surprise, and the reason crews follow the standards because they believe in it and not because someone is standing over their shoulder.

5 or more years leading safety programs in construction or field operations, including experience building or substantially improving a program rather than only administering one.

OSHA 500 or 510 trainer certification.

Demonstrated experience leading incident investigations and root cause analysis.

A valid driver's license.

Excellent training and communication skills.
