Job description

Full-Time EMT – Culpepper, VA

2 providers needed to cover 60 hours a week
Mon-Sat 6am-4pm

We are seeking two skilled and proactive EMTs to join our Medical Response Team at a large construction project in Hobart, IN. This full-time role is ideal for professionals who thrive in an occupational health, safety, and construction-site environment and want to directly impact the daily well-being of workers onsite.

In this position, you will provide rapid response to medical incidents and play a key role in promoting a safe, healthy work environment when not actively responding to injuries.

Key Responsibilities

Emergency Response & Care

• First Response: Serve as the first responder to all injuries, illnesses, and medical incidents onsite, providing immediate and effective care.
• Quick Response Bag: Maintain a fully stocked, within-arm’s-reach quick response bag at all times.
• Incident Triage: Administer first aid or determine when referral to an Occupational Health Clinic or Emergency Room is necessary.
• Escort & Support: Escort employees to external medical providers when needed for further evaluation.
• Follow-Up Monitoring: Conduct follow-up checks to ensure employees are adhering to work restrictions and progressing toward recovery.
• Incident Documentation: Maintain accurate, detailed logs of all injuries and incidents for project reporting and compliance.

Proactive Health, Wellness & Safety Engagement

This is not a role where you sit and wait for incidents.

When not actively treating or triaging an injury, you will be highly visible and proactive around the construction site:

• Promote injury prevention and safe work practices through daily interactions with crews.
• Conduct walk-throughs to observe work zones and identify opportunities for safety reinforcement.
• Engage workers in conversations about hydration, fatigue management, PPE use, and overall wellbeing.
• Support site leadership in reinforcing a strong safety culture and provide reminders about risk-prone behaviors.
• Look for opportunities to educate on proper lifting techniques, stretching, early reporting of discomfort, and other preventive strategies.

Your presence onsite should contribute to a culture where workers feel supported and comfortable approaching you for concerns, questions, or early signs of discomfort.

Qualifications

• Active EMT Certification (EMT or EMT-B) in Indiana
• Experience in emergency medical care or occupational first aid response
• Ability to remain calm and make sound decisions in high-pressure situations
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills for engaging with workers, foremen, and safety leadership
• Excellent organizational skills for maintaining detailed logs and documentation
• Comfort working in a construction site environment and collaborating with a multidisciplinary safety team
• A proactive, approachable, and engagement-focused mindset

Scheduling

We are hiring two EMTs to cover Monday through Saturday, approximately 35 hours each, with flexible scheduling options based on candidate needs. We are open to creative solutions to ensure full coverage.

Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Work in a dynamic construction environment
• Make a visible impact on worker health and safety
• Build relationships with crews and be a trusted onsite resource
• Be part of a growing occupational health model with strong support from Ramp Health
