Regional Safety Manager (Fuquay-Varina)

Regional Safety Manager| Charlotte, NC and Fuquay Varina, NC

Safety Leadership That Makes a Difference

At InServ, safety isn't something that happens from behind a desk.

It's built in the field—through good planning, strong relationships, sound judgment, and the willingness to speak up when something isn't right.

We're looking for a Regional Safety Coordinator who can lead safety across multiple projects and earn the trust of the people doing the work. You'll partner with craft employees, Project Managers, Field Safety Coordinators, clients, and InServ leadership to identify risk, solve problems, coach teams, and continuously improve safety performance across your region.

This is a role for someone who is confident without being confrontational, detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture, and comfortable taking ownership without waiting to be told what to do.

When you see a risk, you act.

When you see an opportunity to improve, you pursue it.

And when safety requires a difficult conversation, you're willing to have it.

• Identify and address unsafe conditions and behaviors.
• Respectfully challenge decisions when safety is at risk.

• Review client safety requirements and help project teams meet or exceed those expectations.
• Participate in client meetings and represent InServ on safety matters.
• Identify potential risks early and work with project leadership to develop practical solutions.

• Visit assigned projects regularly, ensuring jobs without on-site safety personnel are seen at least bi-weekly.
• Use audits, observations, and field engagement to identify trends and recurring risks.

• Lead or assist with incident investigations in partnership with the On-Site Field Safety Coordinator.
• Identify contributing factors and root causes.
• Develop practical corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

• Manage regional safety staffing and provide coverage during absences.
• Verify staffing and timekeeping for safety personnel.
• Partner with the Regional Safety Manager to establish and track site-specific safety goals.

Communicate & Collaborate

Safety leadership requires influence—not just authority.

• Attend bi-weekly InServ safety meetings and handover meetings with the Safety Director.
• Participate in Safety Committee initiatives.
• Assist with employee orientation and safety training as needed.
• Share safety trends, concerns, and opportunities with leadership.
