Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and oversee the project’s Environmental, Health & Safety program

• Investigate injuries, incidents, near misses, and general liability events
• Monitor OSHA compliance and assist with OSHA-related issues, citations, and documentation
• Provide and oversee project safety orientations
• Develop and deliver weekly safety talks, toolbox talks, Safety Stand Downs, and pre-shift safety communications
• Deliver employee training on topics such as Fall Protection, Ladder Safety, Scaffolding, Trenching & Excavation, PPE, and other applicable safety requirements
• Identify safety trends and implement proactive injury-prevention strategies
• Coach and mentor field personnel while reinforcing a positive safety culture
• Attend pre-construction, project safety, planning, and other project-related meetings
• Monitor changes to applicable federal and state regulations and communicate requirements to project personnel

• CHST certification AND/OR a degree in a safety-related field

• Experience with electronic safety management and inspection platforms
• Experience developing site-specific safety plans and JHAs/JSAs
• Additional OSHA or safety certifications
• Experience conducting incident/root-cause investigations

You’d rather coach than cite, recognize good work as fast as you correct bad work, and measure success by one thing: everyone goes home safe.

Background check, drug screen, and certification verification required.

If you are a safety professional who believes that effective safety leadership is about more than compliance—it's about people, communication, accountability, and creating a culture where everyone goes home safely—we want to hear from you.
