With a focus on public-sector construction throughout New York City, and the surrounding counties, Prismatic combines experienced project management, disciplined field execution, and strong client relationships to successfully deliver projects safely, on schedule, and within budget.

At Prismatic Development Corporation, safety is the foundation of our multi-million-dollar major building, municipal, and complex institutional projects. We are seeking a highly disciplined, legally credentialed NYC DOB Licensed Site Safety Manager (SSM).

Operating within a high-conformance, low-EMR (Experience Modification Rate) corporate culture, the successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing all safety enforcement, hazard mitigation, and regulatory compliance, shielding our workers, building sites, and the company from regulatory liabilities on complex vertical builds over $25M in value.

The Site Safety Manager is responsible for providing direct safety oversight of all self-performed construction activities, ensuring that work is properly planned, coordinated, and executed in accordance with OSHA requirements, company policies, and project-specific safety procedures.
