Job summary

ATMS in Ashburn, VA is seeking a Construction Safety Manager to own safety performance on the data center site from mobilization through closeout. This is a hands-on field role: you will observe crews, correct hazards, coach foremen, and exercise stop-work authority when conditions warrant.

You’ll enforce NFPA 70E, manage LOTO processes, lead incident investigations, maintain OSHA records, and report safety metrics to leadership and clients.

Qualifications

• Five or more years in a dedicated construction safety role, with at least two years as the lead safety representative on a project.
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction card, current.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 70E and electrical construction hazards.
• Demonstrated command of OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and the ability to apply it to live field conditions.
• First Aid, CPR, and AED certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire).
• Proven ability to influence and direct field crews, including holding foremen and subcontractors accountable.
• Strong written documentation skills and comfort with digital safety reporting platforms.
• Valid driver's license and reliable daily transportation to the Ashburn, VA site.
• Ability to pass a background check, drug screen, and client site badging requirements.

Responsibilities

• Own daily on-site safety oversight for electrical installation crews.
• Walk the site continuously to identify hazards, correct unsafe conditions and behaviors in real time, and verify corrective actions are closed out.
• Exercise stop-work authority whenever an imminent hazard is present, and elevate promptly to project leadership.
• Coach foremen and crew leads so that safety ownership sits with the crews, not solely with the safety team.
• Enforce NFPA 70E compliance, including arc flash boundaries, PPE category selection, and energized work permits.
• Administer lockout/tagout, verify energy isolation, and audit LOTO documentation.
• Oversee high-risk activities: fall protection, aerial and scissor lifts, rigging and crane picks, hot work, confined space entry, trenching and excavation, and temporary power and GFCI protection.
• Conduct and review daily JSAs and pre-task plans; ensure they reflect actual scope and site conditions.
• Maintain OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 recordkeeping, training records, equipment inspection logs, and SDS files.
