Position Summary

Convergint is seeking a full-time, site-based Project Safety Manager to lead the Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) program for our Division 28 electronic security scope on a data center project in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Convergint is the prime security‑systems subcontractor to the general contractor, delivering access control, video surveillance, intercom, alarm across multiple blocks and central utility plants.

The Project Safety Manager owns the day‑to‑day execution of the project Safety Plan: planning work safely before it begins, identifying and controlling hazards, integrating Convergint and its subcontractors into the general contractor’s control‑of‑work system, and ensuring every worker has both the authority and the responsibility to stop unsafe work.

Safety Leadership & Program Ownership

• Own safety integration for the electronic security scope; provide visible, proactive safety leadership across all buildings and work areas.
• Support and reinforce the customer’s Vision Zero approach and Convergint’s safety culture, prioritizing elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls.
• Coordinate the project safety program with the Project Executive, Project Manager, General Superintendent, Superintendents, QA/QC Lead, and subcontractor leadership.
• Ensure adequate safety resources, competent supervision, trained workers, correct PPE, and proper tools/equipment are in place before work proceeds.

Daily Planning & Control of Work

• Lead and review daily task planning — JHA / SPA / PTP / RAMS — confirming hazard identification, controls, competent‑person/supervision assignments, permit interfaces, stop‑work conditions, and crew briefings/signatures before work starts and after any scope change.
• Integrate Convergint work into the GC control‑of‑work system: site access, orientation/induction, badging, daily planning, permits, DABS, four‑week lookahead, Last Planner, and morning whiteboard meetings.
• Confirm no task begins until the daily JHA/SPA, required permits, PPE, tools, access equipment, and supervision are verified.
• Obtain and enforce compliance with permits‑to‑work for energized work, hot work, confined space, out‑of‑hours work, lifting, and other site‑defined permit activities.
• Coordinate with electrical, telecom, doors/hardware, millwork, fire alarm, facilities, and other trades to prevent unsafe trade stacking and blocked or congested work areas.

High‑Risk Activity Management

• Forecast, review, approve, supervise, and document high‑risk activities (HRAs) through the GC planning process.
• Manage work at height: enforce the Convergint standard that any task with feet above 8 feet requires a lift unless a written exception is approved; apply ladders‑last requirements; verify equipment inspection, fall protection, tool tethering/dropped‑object controls, and rescue planning when fall arrest is used.
• Manage MEWP / lift use: confirm trained and authorized operators, pre‑use inspections, ground conditions, barricaded work zones, spotters, and tie‑off/secondary‑guarding requirements.
• Manage electrical safety, energization, and LOTO: interface with the GC Energy Management Program; enforce written, site‑specific LOTO procedures, documented isolation, zero‑energy verification, lockout devices (not tags alone), and the requirement that nothing is energized, de‑energized, or tested without written authorization.
• Escalate exception requests (e.g., ladder use above limits) through the appropriate operations‑leadership approval process before work begins.
• Establish and enforce safety controls across all commissioning phases — Phase I contractor pretesting, Phase II corporate systems testing, and Phase III final commissioning / validation.
• Confirm work‑area access, power readiness, safe access to devices, trained technicians, lifts/operators, lighting, radios, credentials, and emergency contacts before testing proceeds.
• Ensure re‑inspection and retesting follow the same safety‑planning process as original…
