Job description

The Boldt Company, a subsidiary of the Boldt Group

Location: GM Marion (primary/base location) Marion, Indiana

At Boldt, we build more than complex projects, and we build strong relationships, great teams, and lasting impact.

Lead safety excellence across some of the Midwest's most complex automotive, industrial, and manufacturing construction projects. As a Safety Manager, you'll drive safety strategy, OSHA compliance, risk management, workforce development, and operational excellence across Michigan and Indiana, helping create an extraordinary safety culture while partnering with project teams, field leadership, and clients to deliver world-class results.

Build Something Bigger Than a Job. Lead Safety on Projects That Matter.
