Onsite Safety Professional - Data Center Construction (East Region)

As an Onsite Safety Professional, you serve as the primary safety authority for major campus developments in the East Region. This dynamic, project-based position involves deploying to various client sites for 3- to 5-year engagements to ensure rigorous safety compliance and risk mitigation in high-stakes, critical environments.

You will operate directly from onsite construction trailers, spending 70% of your time in the field providing oversight and 30% on critical documentation. Because construction timelines fluctuate, you must be available on-site five days a week.

Serve as an expert coach and advisor to the site safety committee. Support the construction management team by delivering current data on EHS performance, metrics, and incident management to facilitate informed, timely decision-making.

Assist in the conduct of risk/hazard assessments and participate in significant incident investigations. Promptly escalate non-compliance issues to both the GC and owner's management.

Lead safety meetings and ensure relevant EHS information is disseminated across the site. Facilitate daily and weekly safety tours with GC and owner's representatives.

Assist in design reviews across the project lifecycle, including planning, permitting, construction, commissioning, and handover. Contribute to the development of the Data Center Construction EHS Plan (DCCEHSP).
