Senior EHS Technician (CTX

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.

We’re a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership.

Our vision:
Recognize a Need & Fulfill It.

Own the S in STEEL.

Our values spell STEEL, and the first letter is yours. Our mission literally ends “without defects or accidents” — you’ll own the programs, training, and boots-on-the-ground presence that send every crew member home safe.

You’ll integrate safety into the day-to-day operation of our South Texas projects — building and maintaining the processes and procedures that prevent injuries, keep us compliant with the law and company policy, and minimize the environmental impact of our operations. This is a hands-on, proactive role for someone who solves safety challenges in the field, not from behind a desk.

Safety IS the culture here, not a checkbox. It’s the first letter of our values and the last word of our mission. You won’t fight for a seat at the table — this role is the table.

Boots on the ground, ear of leadership. You’ll partner directly with project managers, superintendents, and field crews — with real standing to act when something isn’t right.

Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — disciplined shop and field operations worth protecting.

People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, a 401(k) match, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.

Room to rise. Divisions across Texas, leadership training, Udemy learning, and AISC membership for every Patriot employee.
