Communicate with Operations, EHS and/or Project Management regarding updates, risks or escalations.
• Logistics & Planning Coordination: Coordinate and communicate with project management, facilities teams, and other project leads to plan for upcoming contractor activities. Identify potential space or schedule conflicts and organize the logistics of site activity to ensure a seamless workflow. Work closely with Site Services Manager and EHS to ensure safety reviews are completed and contractors/teams are coordinated on the work taking place each day.
• Safety Leadership: Maintain a proactive OSHA-focused mindset. Identify potential hazards, enforce site safety rules, and exercise stop-work authority if necessary to prevent incidents.
• Stakeholder Communication: Participate in relevant planning and strategy meetings with client management. Act as the primary liaison between field activities, facilities operations, and leadership.
• Issue Escalation: Promptly identify and escalate any deviations from the project plan, schedule delays, or site conflicts to the appropriate management channels.
