EHS Supervisor

Site Construction Safety Supervisor - BESS & PV Projects

Safety leadership that powers the clean energy future. We're looking for a hands-on Site Construction Safety Supervisor to be the boots-on-the-ground safety champion at our BESS and PV construction sites. You'll take ownership of EHS programs where it matters most - in the field, every day - enforcing compliance, mitigating the unique hazards of battery storage and solar installations, and building a safety culture that sticks.

Working closely with the Site Construction Safety Manager, you'll be a driving force behind continuous improvement and a visible presence keeping crews safe on some of the most cutting-edge renewable energy projects in the industry.

• EHS Program Implementation & Enforcement:
  • Directly implement and rigorously enforce site-specific EHS plans, procedures, and programs.
  • Ensure all work activities strictly comply with OSHA (29 CFR 1910, 1926), NFPA 70E, local codes, and client requirements.
  • Ensure strict adherence to permit-to-work systems for high-risk activities (e.g., hot work, confined space entry, excavation, high-voltage electrical work).
• On-Site Hazard Management & Risk Mitigation:
  • Conduct frequent, thorough, and documented daily site inspections, walk-throughs, and audits to proactively identify potential hazards, unsafe conditions, and at-risk behaviors among all personnel, including subcontractors.
  • Actively participate in and lead Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Pre-Task Planning (PTP) meetings, and daily toolbox talks, ensuring effective control measures are clearly understood and consistently applied.
  • Proactively address and mitigate complex hazards specific to BESS and PV projects, including:
    • Battery thermal runaway prevention and response.
    • Arc flash and electrical shock hazards (AC/DC).
    • Safe handling, lifting, and installation of battery modules and PV panels.
    • Working at heights on solar arrays and racking systems.
    • Excavation safety (trenching, shoring, utility locates).
    • Safe operation of heavy lifting equipment and mobile machinery.
• Safety Training & Awareness:
  • Deliver engaging site-specific EHS orientations and daily toolbox talks to all new personnel and existing crews.
  • Assist the Site Construction Safety Manager in delivering specialized hazard training (e.g., LOTO, arc flash, fall protection, confined space, battery safety, emergency response).
  • Champion and promote a positive safety culture by consistently reinforcing safe behaviors, encouraging proactive hazard reporting, and fostering peer-to-peer safety observations.
• Incident First Response & Reporting:
  • Act as a primary first responder to incidents, accidents, and near misses, ensuring immediate safety measures are taken and emergency services are contacted if necessary.
  • Assist the Site Construction Safety Manager in preliminary incident investigations, meticulously gathering information, conducting interviews, and accurately documenting findings.
  • Ensure timely and accurate initial reporting of all incidents to the Site Construction Safety Manager and relevant project leadership.
• Compliance & Documentation Support:
  • Assist in maintaining comprehensive EHS documentation, including daily inspection logs, training records, incident reports, and safety meeting minutes.
  • Support the Site Construction Safety Manager in preparing and submitting required EHS reports to corporate EHS and clients.
  • Verify that all personnel have and consistently use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their assigned tasks.
• Subcontractor Safety Oversight:
  • Continuously monitor and evaluate subcontractor EHS performance on-site, ensuring their work activities align with company standards, project requirements, and regulatory compliance.
  • Communicate EHS expectations clearly to all subcontractor personnel and promptly address any observed deviations or non‑compliance.
• Emergency Preparedness & Response:
  • Ensure all personnel are thoroughly aware of and trained on site-specific emergency response plans (e.g., fire, medical, hazardous spills, severe weather).
  • Verify that all emergency equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers, spill kits, first aid supplies, AEDs) is readily available, properly maintained, and personnel are trained in its correct use.
• Communication & Leadership:
  • Serve as a direct, approachable, and knowledgeable safety resource for all personnel on site, providing clear guidance and answering EHS-related questions.
  • Foster open communication channels, actively encouraging workers to report concerns, utilize stop-work authority when necessary, and suggest safety improvements.
  • Lead by example, consistently demonstrating an unwavering personal commitment to safety in all actions, decisions, and interactions, inspiring others to prioritize safety above all else.

• This role primarily operates on active construction sites, involving exposure to varying environmental conditions (e.g., extreme heat/cold, rain), significant noise levels, dust, uneven terrain, and potential…
