Job Description
Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO)
Federal Construction Projects
A nationally recognized leading General Contractor is seeking an experienced Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO) to support high-profile federal construction projects across the U.S. This is a long-term opportunity to join a company known for delivering complex, federal work while maintaining an exceptional safety culture.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't a box-checking safety position. You'll be a trusted partner on-site-empowered to lead safety initiatives, influence field operations, and ensure compliance on some of the most visible federal projects in the country.
What You'll Be Doing
- Serve as the on-site SSHO for federal construction projects, ensuring full compliance with project safety plans and federal requirements
- Enforce and manage EM 385-1-1, OSHA, and site-specific safety programs
- Conduct daily safety inspections, job hazard analyses (JHAs), and toolbox talks
- Lead incident investigations and corrective action planning
- Work closely with Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, and owners to proactively manage risk
- Maintain all safety documentation, reporting, and training records required for federal projects
- Promote a strong, visible safety-first culture on every jobsite
- Proven experience as an SSHO on federal construction projects
- Strong working knowledge of EM 385-1-1 and OSHA regulations
- Current SSHO certification (or ability to obtain)
- CPR/First Aid certified
- Experience working on projects for USACE, NAVFAC, DoD, VA, or GSA preferred
- Confident communicator who can engage field crews and leadership alike
- Travel or relocation to project sites is required
- Competitive salary and living allowance/ travel support
- Strong benefits package
- Long-term stability with a respected federal contractor
- Opportunity to work on complex, meaningful projects with real impact
