WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• You have assisted with jobsite safety meetings, orientations, and toolbox talks by helping communicate basic safety expectations to employees and subcontractors.
• You helped conduct routine safety walks and inspections, learning how to document findings and follow up on corrective actions.
• You’ve assisted with safety documentation, including training records, inspection logs, and incident reports, using Microsoft Excel and Word.
• You have worked closely with Safety Managers, project leadership, and field teams to learn company safety standards and best practices.
• You participated in required safety training and certification programs, including OSHA coursework and on‑the‑job learning opportunities.
• You can demonstrate that you have remained flexible to support project needs, including travel to jobsites and occasional extended hours or weekend work when required.
