Description

A core operational mandate is ensuring 100% gate clearance : verifying all technician credentials, plant-specific training, and site access criteria before dispatch so no crew member is turned away at the gate.

The First Year (A Hands-On Build):

BBP plans to add a dedicated Safety Administrator within 12–18 months. Year one is an operational build: you will personally lead strategic safety initiatives while establishing and managing the day-to-day administrative frameworks—credential tracking, contractor compliance portals, and safety documentation. As the program matures, you will help hire, onboard, and transition administrative tasks to the new Administrator while shifting toward higher-level oversight.

Key Responsibilities

Site Access & Contractor Management Portals

Maintain company compliance ratings and documentation across third-party qualification platforms, including ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce, and DISA.

Track and manage field technician certifications, safety council badges (e. g., ISTC, BTC, Basic Plus, TWIC), drug and alcohol screenings, and site-specific training.

Partner with Field Service Managers to audit site access criteria well ahead of dispatch, proactively flagging gaps and credential expirations.

Establish safety council accounts, client site onboarding, and employee badging for new customer awards.

Field Safety & Jobsite Leadership

Conduct regular field audits, routine jobsite visits, and engaging toolbox talks tied to active work scopes, seasonal risks, and near-miss trends.

Serve as the primary onsite Safety Manager during major turnarounds, outages, and critical scopes, or direct assigned site safety personnel.

Enforce Stop-Work Authority decisively while coaching crews through root-cause corrections with a collaborative, field-first mindset.

Oversee and standardize Job Safety Analyses (JSAs/JHAs) to ensure critical hazard controls are in place prior to work commencing.

Formulate, update, and implement corporate safety policies meeting OSHA 1910/1926 standards, customer mandates, and industry best practices.

Partner with HR to establish baseline onboarding standards (e. g., OSHA 10, First Aid/CPR/AED) and build internal qualification programs (e. g., Confined Space, Fall Protection, Respiratory Protection).

Lead the company PPE and safety asset programs, overseeing procurement, regional stock levels (FR apparel, hard hats, vests), and periodic inspection tracking (harnesses, ladders, fire extinguishers).

Track, evaluate, and report key safety metrics (TRIR, DART, EMR, leading indicators) to executive leadership, maintaining audit-ready OSHA 300 logs.

Lead incident and near-miss investigations, root-cause analyses (RCA), corrective action plans, and cross-team lessons learned.

Prepare field technicians for site incident protocols, medical escalation pathways, and reporting standards prior to dispatch.

Manage workers' compensation cases, OSHA reporting, and return-to-work protocols in coordination with HR.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

Experience: 8+ years of industrial, refinery, chemical plant, or heavy construction safety experience, including 3+ years in a direct safety leadership role.

Field Knowledge: Proven experience serving as an onsite Safety Manager/Representative during industrial turnarounds, shutdowns, or plant outages.

Credentials: Associate Safety Professional (ASP) certification (or ability to achieve within 12 months of hire); OSHA 30 (Construction or General Industry).

Compliance Systems: Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with contractor management platforms (ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce) and safety council/consortium frameworks (DISA, TWIC, ISTC).

Technical Skills: Strong organizational aptitude with intermediate-to-advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.

Mobility: Valid driver’s license with an insurable driving record; ability to travel to customer facilities and provide field coverage as operational needs dictate.

Preferred Qualifications

Certified Safety Professional (CSP), CHST, or STS certification.

OSHA 500 or OSHA 510 authorization.

Prior experience with industrial valve, instrumentation, or rotating equipment service scopes.

Direct background building in-house safety training curricula (e. g., authorized Fall Protection, Confined Space, or CPR trainer).

Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health, Environmental Sciences, or a related discipline.

Core Competencies

Field Credibility: Connects effectively with technicians, speaking to the physical reality of the work rather than just regulatory manuals.

Coach Over Cop: Drives safety compliance through mentorship, education, and trust-building rather than punitive policing.

Builder Mindset: Eager to roll up their sleeves to create repeatable tracking templates, workflows, and procedures from scratch.

Working Conditions & Physical Requirements

Regular exposure to operating industrial environments, industrial plants, and outdoor Gulf Coast conditions (heat, humidity, inclement weather).

Ability to wear required PPE daily, including FR clothing, hard hats, safety glasses, and negative-pressure respirators (subject to medical clearance and fit testing).

Ability to climb stairs and vertical ladders, navigate grating and uneven surfaces, work at elevated heights utilizing fall arrest systems, and lift up to 50 lbs.

Must pass customer-required pre-access background checks and ongoing DISA/consortium drug and alcohol screenings.

Willingness to support early morning dispatches, night shifts, and weekend hours during peak plant outages and turnaround events.
