At Cooper Tacia, we’re building more than projects; we’re building a company where talented people can do meaningful work, take ownership, and grow.

Founded in North Carolina in 2003, Cooper Tacia is a dynamic general contractor serving clients across the Southeast. Our work spans complex commercial, industrial, manufacturing, education, government, multifamily, aviation and civil and environmental projects, but what defines us isn’t simply what we build. It’s how we approach the work: with creativity, collaboration, accountability, and a drive to continually raise the standard.

We’re growing, and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us. People who bring ideas to the table, build strong relationships, take pride in their work, and want to make an impact on the projects, partners, and communities we serve.

We are currently seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Field Safety Coordinator to support our growing project portfolio across our Southeast division. Reporting directly to our Corporate Safety Director, this individual will champion our safety culture by performing regular audits, facilitating training, and driving continuous improvement in all safety-related operations across our field sites. The ideal candidate is a confident communicator who can build trust while ensuring compliance with OSHA and company safety standards.

Responsibilities:

· Conduct regular site safety audits and document findings using Safety Reports software.

· Provide coaching and on-site training to ensure teams are practicing safe work procedures in line with OSHA and Cooper Tacia policies.

· Monitor the execution of high-risk activities, working alongside contractors to implement the best safety practices.

· Represent Cooper Tacia’s safety interests on-site, advocating for the highest standard of health and safety.

· Investigate safety incidents as needed and assist in the development of corrective action plans.

· Travel to job sites, including overnight or extended stays, based on project needs.

· Continuously evaluate and recommend improvements to Cooper Tacia’s Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) procedures.

Requirements:

· Ability and willingness to stay near assigned job sites approximately 35% of the time.

· Potential for full-time placement on a project, based on project needs.

· Minimum 3+ years of experience identifying safety hazards and implementing hazard controls on construction sites.

· Strong communication skills with a demonstrated ability to engage all levels of personnel in safety programs.

· Working knowledge of OSHA regulations and construction site safety standards.

· Experience creating and evaluating Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) and Pre-Task Plans (PTPs), with a clear understanding of their differences and applications.

· Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint.

· Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

· Valid driver’s license and clean driving record.

· Company vehicle with fuel card
