Bilingual Safety Manager OSHA510

Job Description

Job Description

AMTS is looking for an experienced, hands-on, bilingual (English/Spanish) OSHA510 Safety Manager to lead and oversee Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) operations within a high-hazard semiconductor construction and manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will possess extensive experience in construction safety, industrial safety, or semiconductor facility operations, with a strong understanding of OSHA regulations, high-risk construction activities, and semiconductor-specific hazards. This position requires a proactive safety leader who can effectively communicate, train, coach, and enforce safety expectations with employees, subcontractors, and management teams in both English and Spanish.

The Safety Manager will play a critical role in maintaining a proactive safety culture, preventing workplace incidents, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting the safe construction, installation, commissioning, and operation of semiconductor facilities. This is a field-focused leadership position requiring a consistent presence on the jobsite and the ability to identify hazards, correct unsafe behaviors, and hold all levels of the workforce accountable.

Roles and Responsibilities

Safety Leadership & Program Management

•      Provide visible, hands-on safety leadership throughout the project.

•      Conduct daily jobsite walks, safety inspections, and hazard assessments.

•      Lead daily safety meetings, toolbox talks, pre-task planning, and safety stand-downs.

•      Promote employee engagement, accountability, and proactive hazard recognition.

•      Work closely with project management, construction management, engineering, facilities, and subcontractors.

•      Exercise Stop Work Authority when unsafe conditions or imminent hazards are identified.

•      Monitor safety performance and implement improvement initiatives.

Semiconductor Facility & High-Hazard Construction Safety

Provide safety oversight for complex semiconductor facility construction, expansion, equipment installation, and manufacturing operations . Experience and knowledge should include the following:

•      Hazardous Materials & Chemical Safety

•      Hazardous Production Materials (HPMs).

•      Chemical handling, storage, and transfer systems.

•      Chemical distribution systems and piping installations.

•      Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and chemical hazard communication.

•      Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and hazardous energy control.

•      NFPA 70E electrical safety practices.

•      Arc-flash and shock hazard awareness.

•      Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installations.

•      Equipment energization and commissioning safety.

•       

Construction & Industrial Safety

•      Fall protection and elevated work.

•      Scaffolding and ladder safety.

•      Confined space entry.

•      Crane operations, rigging, and material handling.

•      Hot work and fire prevention.

•      Excavation and trenching.

•      Industrial equipment installation.

•      Forklift and aerial lift operations.

Semiconductor-Specific Operations

•      Cleanroom construction and contamination-control requirements.

The Safety Manager must understand the unique risks associated with working in active semiconductor facilities and coordinating multiple trades in highly controlled environments.

Bilingual Safety Training & Workforce Communication

•      Conduct all applicable safety orientations, toolbox talks, and training sessions in English and Spanish.

•      Communicate safety policies, procedures, and hazard alerts effectively to Spanish-speaking employees.

•      Translate or coordinate translation of safety materials, job hazard analyses, and safety communications.

•      Ensure employees understand task-specific hazards, emergency procedures, and required PPE.

•      Provide bilingual coaching, mentoring, and field-level safety instruction.

•      Work directly with Spanish-speaking employees and subcontractors to identify and resolve safety concerns.

•      Verify employee understanding through questions, demonstrations, and practical assessments rather than relying solely on attendance.

•      Ensure language barriers never compromise employee safety or regulatory compliance.

Incident Prevention & Investigation

•      Lead investigations involving injuries, near misses, property damage, and potential safety incidents.

•      Conduct root-cause analysis and identify opportunities to prevent recurrence.

•      Develop and implement corrective and preventive action plans.

•      Track leading and lagging safety performance indicators.

•      Monitor incident trends and develop proactive injury prevention strategies.

•      Prepare detailed incident reports and communicate findings to leadership.

•      Promote a proactive reporting culture that encourages employees to report hazards and near misses.

Contractor & Subcontractor Safety Management

•      Manage and monitor subcontractor compliance with company and project safety requirements.

•      Participate in preconstruction, coordination, and daily planning meetings.

•      Review subcontractor safety programs, JHAs, JSAs, and work permits.

•      Conduct subcontractor safety evaluations and field observations.

•      Verify employee qualifications, required training, and task-specific certifications.

•      Coordinate safety activities across multiple trades, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, pipefitting, HVAC, and equipment installation.

•      Address unsafe work practices directly with subcontractor supervision.

•      Hold subcontractors accountable for correcting identified hazards.

•      Ensure proper coordination of simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) to prevent conflicting activities and overlapping hazards.

Position Requirements

Required

•      OSHA 510 training required.

•      Minimum 5–7 years of professional safety experience in construction, industrial manufacturing, or high-hazard environments.

•      Previous experience in semiconductor construction, advanced manufacturing, industrial facilities, or complex MEP construction strongly preferred.

•      Strong working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926.

•      Demonstrated experience conducting safety inspections, audits, and incident investigations.

•      Experience developing and reviewing JHAs, JSAs, and site-specific safety plans.

•      Experience leading safety orientations, toolbox talks, and workforce training.

•      Proven ability to manage subcontractor safety and coordinate multiple construction trades.

•      Strong understanding of hazard recognition, risk assessments, and corrective action management.

•      Ability to work independently and make sound safety decisions in a fast-paced construction environment.

•      Proficiency in Microsoft Office and electronic safety management/reporting systems.
