Job description

Field Safety Manager – EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety)

Experitec is seeking an experienced field safety professional to own and demonstrate safety on the job sites, shaping and leading safety efforts with a direct impact on day‑to‑day operations across our field teams.

Key Responsibilities

• A visible, trusted safety leader across job sites — on the ground, engaging directly with crews rather than managing from a desk.
• Leading field walkdowns, observations, toolbox talks, and Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) that catch risk before it becomes an incident.
• Owning incident response, investigations, and root cause analysis when something happens, and driving corrective actions until they hold.
• Enforcing safety policies, PPE requirements, and Stop Work Authority with the standing to halt unsafe work.
• Building and owning core safety infrastructure, including the Risk Management System and equipment programs (PMs, 4‑gas monitor supply, repair, and bump‑test).
• Serving as the primary point of contact for customer safety requirements and representing Experitec in customer and partner safety meetings.
• Defining the training crews need to work safely, including role‑based requirements like HAZWOPER and Hazmat, and delivering field‑based training directly.
• Reviewing escalated fleet safety events — repeat violations and serious camera‑flagged incidents — and having direct conversations with employees about driving behavior and expectations.
• Partnering with EHS leadership and the Safety Coordinator to set and periodically review fleet safety escalation thresholds.
• Analyzing trends across sites to get ahead of risk before incidents repeat.

Key Contributions

• Regular, visible presence at job sites that reinforces safe work practices in real time.
• Sound judgment under real field conditions, balancing safety, schedule, and customer relationships.
• Hands‑on leadership of audits, inspections, and corrective action follow‑through.
• A proactive, prevention‑focused approach that reduces incidents rather than just responding to them.
• Strong working relationships with customers, field crews, and the Safety Coordinator to keep systems and field execution aligned.
• Development and ownership of the annual field safety budget, with regular reporting to leadership on program status and performance.
• A collaborative approach to fleet safety — reviewing escalated issues and coaching employees while the Coordinator handles day‑to‑day monitoring.

Required Skills, Experience & Abilities

• Bachelor's degree OR Associate degree with two or more years of relevant experience OR High School diploma or equivalent with four or more years of relevant experience OR an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Five or more years of experience leading safety programs.
• Three or more years of experience conducting audits, inspections, and Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs).
• Three or more years of experience leading incident investigations and root cause analysis.
• Three or more years of experience monitoring safety performance metrics while proactively identifying and mitigating risks.
• Ability to create and maintain technical documentation, standards, and operating procedures.
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and field safety practices, with sound judgment for making effective decisions in dynamic work environments.
• Ability to handle sensitive employee, medical, and compliance information with discretion and professionalism.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, SharePoint), with the ability to quickly learn and administer new software platforms and learning management systems.
• Ability to effectively communicate (written and verbal) with field crews, customers, and leadership.
• Ability to work from one of Experitec's three office locations (St. Louis, MO; Kansas City, KS; or Memphis, TN), with regular travel to customer field locations and other company sites across our territory.
• Ability to lift and move up to 30 pounds.
• Ability to work Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm in the field or office, with occasional after‑hours availability for incident response or other job‑related needs.
• Ability to drive for the company with a valid driver’s license and the ability to pass driving record background check.
• Ability to utilize personal vehicle for the majority of work travel AND ability to rent a car when requested by supervisor for work travel.
• Ability to independently travel domestically up to 25% of the time (including overnights) to job sites and company locations as needed.

Preferred Skills, Experience & Abilities

• Five or more years of experience leading safety programs, including responsibility for program development, implementation, and continuous improvement.
• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, Engineering, Business Administration, Human Resources, Industrial Hygiene, or a closely related field.
• Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Health and Safety Technician (CHST), and/or similar professional safety credentials.
• Possess OSHA 30‑hour certification.
• Possess HAZWOPER, Hazmat certification and/or training experience.
• Experience in industrial, manufacturing, or oil & gas field environments.
• Experience supporting multi‑site and/or multi‑state field operations.

• Experience with fleet safety programs and/or vehicle telematics/monitoring systems.
