Head of Health and Safety

Job Description Description: Job Title: Safety Manager
Volumod (Vol-U-mod) is a multi-family modular construction company located on the Far East Side of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Volumod’s team of more than 100 skilled professionals builds apartment buildings and other multi-family housing in sections - called modules - within a heated-and-cooled facility. On the factory floor, each home moves through 20 different stations, including framing, electrical, plumbing, flooring, drywall, siding, roofing, and interior finish, with kitchens and bathrooms installed, to produce a home that is 90% complete!

The modules are then wrapped, transported by semi truck, and lifted with a crane to form multifamily communities. Modular construction improves speed, consistency, quality, and efficiency compared with traditional, onsite construction, bringing value to our clients.

We’re helping transform lives by creating beautiful, affordable housing - sacred spaces where people live and are proud to call home. We’re also passionate about seeing lives transformed within the Volumod organization as our employees improve their lives with a great job and whole-person support that helps them thrive in every area. We offer living wages, major medical coverage, 401K contributions, and a culture of hope. The Safety Manager is responsible for developing, leading, and executing a comprehensive safety strategy across all modular housing manufacturing facilities and field installation operations. This role ensures compliance with all federal, state, and local safety regulations while fostering a culture of safety excellence.
