Job Summary

• Lead safety planning, project-readiness, compliance, and construction support for data center projects and other complex, high-profile customer sites.
• Partner with Sales, Estimating, Project Management, Construction Operations, general contractors, and customers to identify project-specific safety obligations, costs, schedules, and access requirements before contract execution and mobilization.
• Own the timely completion and ongoing maintenance of customer safety submissions, contractor prequalification systems, employee onboarding records, certifications, and site-access platforms so changing construction teams can mobilize without avoidable delays.
• Maintain a visible jobsite presence, evaluate construction conditions, coach project teams, coordinate specialized resources, and respond promptly to customer findings and corrective-action requests.
• Success is measured by safe execution, complete and timely project readiness, uninterrupted site access, responsive closure of findings, reduced unplanned safety costs, and strong customer and general contractor relationships.
• Review project-specific safety requirements during pursuit, estimating, and contract review; identify scope, resource, training, PPE, inspection, documentation, and dedicated-coverage costs before commitments are finalized.

• Administer project-required drug testing and coordinate nondisclosure agreements, background checks, site-clearance requirements, and pre-access training for assigned construction personnel.

• Coordinate specialized third-party qualifications and training beyond Fabcon's standard requirements, including NCCCO rigging qualifications, customer-required OSHA 10- and 30-hour renewals, site-specific fall protection, fire watch, emergency response, and state- or locality-specific programs.
• Coordinate welding certifications and maintain accurate welder continuity logs in accordance with contract and project requirements.
• Schedule contractually required third-party rigging inspections, maintain inspection records, communicate results, and coordinate timely correction of identified deficiencies.
• Participate in onsite preplanning meetings, customer presentations, recurring project safety meetings, jobsite assessments, incident investigations, and construction coaching activities.
• Source and coordinate qualified third-party safety professionals when dedicated onsite coverage is required; confirm scope, credentials, scheduling, performance, and documentation.
• Respond promptly to customer and general contractor concerns, inspection findings, and corrective-action requests; track items through verified closure and communicate trends to project and EHS leadership.
• Build reusable project-readiness tools, dashboards, checklists, and lessons learned that improve submission quality, shorten onboarding lead time, increase construction presence, and reduce compliance and operational risk across future data center work.
• Customer Focus: Builds strong customer relationships and delivers responsive, customer-centered safety solutions.
• Plans and Aligns: Prioritizes complex preconstruction, mobilization, access, and construction-support activities to meet project commitments.
