Job Details

We are seeking a Director of Safety who is a true leader of people, not just a manager of paperwork. In this role, you will bridge the gap between executive strategy and field execution. You won't just be sitting behind a desk; you will be the face of our safety culture, equally at home walking a dusty construction site with a Foreman as you are presenting safety metrics to our executive board. The ideal candidate understands the unique rhythms of construction and maintenance and possesses the operational "street cred" to influence behavior at every level. You will be empowered to move beyond simple compliance, building a proactive environment where hazard recognition is second nature and every employee feels coached, supported, and protected.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement comprehensive, company-wide safety initiatives, policies, and training programs tailored to landscape operations.
• Conduct regular jobsite inspections and safety audits to identify risks and ensure high standards of field performance.
• Lead all incident investigations, performing deep-dive root-cause analysis and establishing effective corrective action plans.
• Provide direct coaching to Crew Leaders and Foremen on hazard recognition and safe work practices.
• Collaborate with Account Managers and Project Managers to address site-specific safety concerns and operational hazards.
• Analyze safety data and metrics to report progress to executive leadership and hold department heads accountable for safety results.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive safety leadership experience, specifically within landscape maintenance, commercial construction, or a related field.
• Expert-level knowledge of OSHA construction standards and federal/state safety regulations.
• Proven track record of leading safety programs across multiple active jobsites and diverse field operations.
• Exceptional ability to influence and build relationships with employees at all levels, from entry-level laborers to executives.
• Strong proficiency in risk assessment, incident investigation, and the ability to translate data into practical field actions.
