Insurance and Safety Program Manager - Construction

Day - 08 Hour (United States of America) This is a Stanford Health Care job. Protecting people on a construction site takes more than enforcing rules. As our EH&S Insurance and Safety Program Manager, you’ll help create a culture where safety professionals are trusted partners who keep workers healthy, reduce risk, and make complex construction environments safer. This fully onsite, individual contributor role is based at Menlo Park and blends construction safety, insurance expertise, and hands‑on field engagement, with two to three days each week spent in the field.

You’ll conduct risk assessments, monitor high‑risk activities, investigate incidents, support safety and insurance programs, and partner closely with Facilities construction managers, general contractors, and Risk Management while participating in weekly construction safety meetings and the on‑call rotation.

Bring approximately 10 years of construction experience with a strong construction safety background and Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) knowledge. Understand high‑risk construction environments, hazard controls, insurance, claims, and broader risk management. Develop safety programs and training, support OCIP‑enrolled workers, and use data and KPIs to strengthen safety performance. Build trust through a collaborative, coaching‑focused approach that is firm when needed but emphasizes partnership over policing.

Microsoft 365, data analysis, and strong Excel skills are valuable; healthcare experience is preferred.

The Facilities Services division enhances health through leadership, collaboration, and innovation. Our team offers essential non‑clinical support 24/7, ensuring safe operations and planning for future needs. We represent the intersection of planning, construction, general services, and facilities operations.
