This role functions as the dedicated safety point of contact, field-level safety leader, and first level of safety escalation for all site logistics, construction-adjacent, and deployment activities.

The Safety Coordinator oversees hazard identification, pre-task safety planning, safety communication, incident and near-miss management, corrective action tracking, safety training reinforcement, and compliance with client and regulatory safety requirements. This role works closely with the DC Logistics Manager, site safety personnel, construction leadership, operations leadership, and client representatives to ensure all work is planned, communicated, and executed in alignment with established hazard controls, safety procedures, and site-specific requirements.

This role operates within an active data center construction and deployment environment.

Work conditions may include exposure to moving equipment, construction materials, uneven surfaces, elevated noise levels, changing access routes, and other hazards commonly associated with active construction sites.

All employees are required to follow site safety rules, posted signage, access restrictions, and direction from site leadership, safety personnel, and authorized construction management representatives. Employees must remain aware of their surroundings at all times, use designated walkways and approved work areas, and immediately report unsafe conditions, near misses, damaged equipment, or potential hazards.

As the dedicated safety coordinator, this role is expected to proactively identify and control hazards, lead pre-task safety planning, develop and reinforce job hazard analysis (JHA) and job safety analysis (JSA) expectations, verify that required controls are in place before work begins, and stop or elevate work when conditions are unsafe or outside approved procedures.

• Serve as the primary safety point of contact for all logistics, deployment, and construction-adjacent team members during assigned operations.
• Champion safety communication across shifts, teams, and cross-functional partners.

• Conduct daily safety walks, field observations, and area inspections to identify hazards, verify controls, and assess compliance with safety requirements.
• Proactively identify, document, and communicate workplace hazards including material handling risks, pedestrian-equipment conflicts, housekeeping deficiencies, ergonomic concerns, fall hazards, and changing construction conditions.
• Verify that required hazard controls, barriers, signage, and access restrictions are in place before work begins and remain effective throughout operations.
