• Issue and track NCRs through disposition and close-out

Independent Reporting

• Complete a written inspection report after every site visit, with photos, findings and open items, sent directly to the VPs of Operations
• Maintain HSEQ logs, NCR registers and leading/lagging indicators, and issue a monthly HSEQ scorecard by project so the VPs of Operations can compare sites and teams
• Inform Project Managers and Superintendents of findings and track corrective actions to close-out; escalated critical or unresolved findings (imminent danger, environmental releases, nonconforming work being covered up to the VPs of Operations the same day
• Identify recurring issues across projects and recommend updates to MBA procedures, ITPs and subcontractor prequalification

Qualifications and Required Experience:

• 5+ years in construction safety, QA/QC inspection or a combined HSEQ role on industrial, oil and gas, or energy projects
• Travel 80% or more, living on the road nationwide, with frequent flights, long drives and overnight stays most of the week; extended weekdays and occasional weekends
• Required OSHA 30-Hour Construction
