Field Safety Specialist

Construction Safety Consulting | Omaha, NE (Travel to Job Sites Required)

If you’ve spent your career on construction sites - not behind a desk - and know how to command respect while keeping people safe, keep reading.

We’re looking for a Field Safety Specialist to partner directly with our clients across active construction projects. This isn’t a clipboard-only role. You’ll be in the field - walking sites, training crews, and stepping in when something doesn’t look right.

You’ll be the go-to safety expert on-site, working with contractors, GCs, and client teams to keep projects moving safely and efficiently.

In the field:

• Conduct job site safety audits (planned + unannounced)
• Identify hazards and hold teams accountable to OSHA and site standards
• Review JHAs, AHAs, and pre-task plans

Training & coaching:

• Lead OSHA training, toolbox talks, and safety orientations
• Deliver CPR/First Aid/AED certification training
• Train and certify operators on lifts, forklifts, and other equipment

When things go sideways:

• Respond to incidents and near misses
• Lead investigations and determine root cause
• Support clients through OSHA inspections and audits

Beyond the job site:

• Help clients build and improve safety programs
• Act as a trusted advisor, not just an enforcer
• Provide real-world, practical safety guidance that actually sticks

This role isn’t for everyone. You’ll do well here if you:

• Have 5+ years in construction safety (not general industry)
• Hold OSHA 500 & 510 certifications
• Can train crews and communicate clearly, both on-site and in reports
• Know OSHA 29 CFR 1926 like it’s your playbook
• Are comfortable working in active construction environments (heights, weather, mud, all of it)

• CHST, CSP, ASP, or STS-C certifications
• Experience across multiple job sites or clients
• Additional equipment certifications (rigging, crane, etc.)

• Field-based, hands-on, high-impact
• Client-facing and relationship-driven
• A mix of enforcement, coaching, and problem-solving
• Not internal-only safety
• Not for someone new to construction
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Ongoing training and certification support
