• Maintain a visible, approachable safety presence and encourage workers to raise concerns.
• Assist with site orientations, pre-task meetings, toolbox talks, and safety reminders.
• Immediately report injuries, incidents, near misses, and hazardous conditions.
• Help coordinate first aid or medical assistance when needed and within the limits of training.
• Support other basic site-safety activities as assigned.

Qualifications

• Current OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification is preferred.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Some previous experience on a construction or industrial jobsite, in safety support, or in a medical, clinical, or occupational health setting.
• Strong observation and communication skills, with the confidence to address basic concerns respectfully.
• Dependable, able to follow direction, and comfortable working independently while recognizing when to involve project leadership.
• First Aid or CPR certification is helpful but not required.
• Work Environment
• Work is performed primarily outdoors on a large solar construction project and in changing weather conditions.
• The position requires extended periods of standing and walking, including movement across uneven terrain, as well as bending and other routine field activity.
• All required personal protective equipment must be worn while on the jobsite.
