We are seeking an experienced Director of Safety to lead and own our safety program from the ground up. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep expertise in construction and industrial safety operations.

Documentation & Audit Trails — Retention protocols and audit-ready recordkeeping.

Trend Analysis — Data-driven safety performance reporting and leading indicator tracking.

Permit Systems — Hot work, confined space, energized work, and all permit-required processes.

Energized Work Processes — LOTO, arc flash, and electrical safety program management.

Crane & Rigging Risks — Lift planning, equipment inspection, and operator oversight.

Owner/Client Reporting — Safety metrics, dashboards, and executive-level updates.

Schedule Pressure — Maintaining the highest safety standards without compromising project timelines.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Proven track record managing safety programs in construction or heavy industrial environments

- Experience writing SOPs

- Deep knowledge of OSHA standards, EMR management, and incident investigation methodologies

- Experience managing subcontractor safety programs and owner/client safety requirements

- Expertise in high-hazard work including energized systems, crane/rigging operations, and permit-required work

- Strong communicator who can influence at all levels — field crews, leadership, and clients

- Ability to hold the line on safety standards under schedule and budget pressure

- CSP, CHST, or equivalent certification preferred

If you are a safety professional who leads by presence, earns trust in the field, and knows how to build programs that hold up under pressure — we want to hear from you.
