Contract role

On-site (travel required)

We are seeking an experienced Senior Safety Manager/Safety Lead to provide hands-on safety leadership across complex construction, industrial, pipeline, and energy projects. This role is ideal for a seasoned safety professional who is equally comfortable in the field and at the leadership table-someone who partners with operations, drives accountability, and serves as a trusted safety advisor to both craft and management teams.

This position requires deep regulatory knowledge, a strong field presence, and the ability to implement practical, real-world safety solutions in high-risk environments.

What You'll Be Doing:

* Provide onsite safety leadership for large-scale construction, industrial, pipeline, and energy projects

* Develop, implement, and manage site-specific safety programs, plans, and procedures

* Conduct daily field audits, inspections, and hazard assessments (confined space, excavation, lifting, hot work, LOTO, etc.)

* Lead and document incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective actions

* Serve as the primary safety liaison with clients, subcontractors, and project leadership

* Oversee and issue work permits (hot work, confined space, critical lifts, PJHAs, JSAs)

* Facilitate toolbox talks, safety meetings, and formal training sessions

* Support emergency response activities, including ICS roles when applicable

* Mentor field personnel and reinforce a proactive, accountable safety culture

* Ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, EM 385-1-1, MSHA, and client-specific requirements

* Maintain accurate safety documentation, reporting, and regulatory records

What We're Looking For:

* 15+ years of progressive safety experience in construction, industrial, energy, or pipeline environments

* Proven success supporting high-hazard work scopes including excavation, confined space, lifting, commissioning, shutdowns, civil work, demolition, and industrial installations

* Strong working knowledge of: OSHA 29 CFR 1926 & 1910, Confined Space, Excavation/Trenching, Cranes & Rigging, and work permitting systems and hazard mitigation

* Demonstrated ability to lead in the field, influence operations, and communicate effectively at all levels

* Experience working directly with clients and maintaining strong professional relationships

* Willingness to travel and work on active job sites for extended project durations

Preferred Certifications (One or More):

* CHST or CSP

* OSHA 500 / 510 / 511

* EM 385-1-1

* MSHA (where applicable)

* TapRooT or similar root cause analysis training

* ICS 100-400 / Emergency Response experience

* CPR / First Aid / AED

* TWIC (preferred for certain sites)

The Intangibles That Matter:

* A respected field presence-someone crews listen to

* Practical, solutions-driven mindset (not "policy for policy's sake")

* Calm, confident decision-maker in high-pressure environments

* Strong communicator who balances enforcement with collaboration

* A professional who treats safety as a core operational function, not a checkbox

Why This Role:

* Long-term, repeat-client project opportunities

* Ability to make a real impact on jobsite safety culture and performance

* Support from a team that values experienced, field-driven safety leadership

* Competitive hourly pay aligned with experience and certifications
