Job description

United Front Safety Solutions is a veteran-owned construction safety consulting, training, and staffing firm headquartered in Greenville, SC. We train the crews and companies who do the highest-risk work in construction — practically, on the jobsite, in language that works.

About the Role

We're hiring a full-time Construction Safety Trainer to own our high-hazard, competent-person course portfolio: Crane Rigging & Signal, Scaffolding, Confined Space, Fall Protection, and Excavation. This is a field-facing role — you'll be in client training rooms and on active jobsites across the Southeast, teaching working crews, supervisors, and safety officers how to recognize the hazards that kill and apply the controls that prevent it.You'll be the technical specialist on our training bench, working alongside the trainer who owns equipment, First Aid/CPR, and leadership development. If you know these standards cold and can teach them to skeptical tradespeople, this seat is yours to own. Southeast Travel 25–50%

• Occasionally lend technical credibility on client scoping calls.

• Working knowledge of OSHA 1926 standards in your area(s).
• Experience teaching or leading others (trainer, foreman, superintendent, or crew lead).
• Willing to travel 25–50% across the Southeast, including overnight.
• Able to perform the physical requirements of the job, including climbing, working at height, entering permit-required confined spaces, and lifting up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Valid driver's license and a driving record that meets our auto insurance carrier's requirements.

• Group health, dental, and vision coverage, with eligibility no later than the 90th day of employment.
• 80 hours (2 weeks) paid time off per year, plus 5 paid holidays.
• Paid parental leave (after 12 months of service), bereavement, jury duty, and military leave per company policy.
