Description

Position Summary

Convergint is seeking a full-time, site-based Project Safety Manager to lead the Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) program for our Division 28 electronic security scope on a data center project in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Convergint is the prime security-systems subcontractor to the general contractor, delivering access control, video surveillance, intercom, alarm across multiple blocks and central utility plants.

The Project Safety Manager owns the day-to-day execution of the project Safety Plan: planning work safely before it begins, identifying and controlling hazards, integrating Convergint and its subcontractors into the general contractor’s control-of-work system, and ensuring every worker has both the authority and the responsibility to stop unsafe work.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Safety Leadership & Program Ownership

• Own safety integration for the electronic security scope; provide visible, proactive safety leadership across all buildings and work areas.
• Support and reinforce the customer’s Vision Zero approach and Convergint’s safety culture, prioritizing elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls.
• Coordinate the project safety program with the Project Executive, Project Manager, General Superintendent, Superintendents, QA/QC Lead, and subcontractor leadership.
• Ensure adequate safety resources, competent supervision, trained workers, correct PPE, and proper tools/equipment are in place before work proceeds.

Daily Planning & Control of Work

• Lead and review daily task planning — JHA / SPA / PTP / RAMS — confirming hazard identification, controls, competent-person/supervision assignments, permit interfaces, stop-work conditions, and crew briefings/signatures before work starts and after any scope change.
• Integrate Convergint work into the GC control-of-work system: site access, orientation/induction, badging, daily planning, permits, DABS, four-week lookahead, Last Planner, and morning whiteboard meetings.
• Confirm no task begins until the daily JHA/SPA, required permits, PPE, tools, access equipment, and supervision are verified.
• Obtain and enforce compliance with permits-to-work for energized work, hot work, confined space, out-of-hours work, lifting, and other site-defined permit activities.
• Coordinate with electrical, telecom, doors/hardware, millwork, fire alarm, facilities, and other trades to prevent unsafe trade stacking and blocked or congested work areas.

High-Risk Activity Management

• Forecast, review, approve, supervise, and document high-risk activities (HRAs) through the GC planning process.
• Manage work at height: enforce the Convergint standard that any task with feet above 8 feet requires a lift unless a written exception is approved; apply ladders-last requirements; verify equipment inspection, fall protection, tool tethering/dropped-object controls, and rescue planning when fall arrest is used.
• Manage MEWP / lift use: confirm trained and authorized operators, pre-use inspections, ground conditions, barricaded work zones, spotters, and tie-off/secondary-guarding requirements.
• Manage electrical safety, energization, and LOTO: interface with the GC Energy Management Program; enforce written, site-specific LOTO procedures, documented isolation, zero-energy verification, lockout devices (not tags alone), and the requirement that nothing is energized, de-energized, or tested without written authorization.
• Escalate exception requests (e.g., ladder use above limits) through the appropriate operations-leadership approval process before work begins.
• Establish and enforce safety controls across all commissioning phases — Phase I contractor pretesting, Phase II corporate systems testing, and Phase III final commissioning / validation.
• Confirm work-area access, power readiness, safe access to devices, trained technicians, lifts/operators, lighting, radios, credentials, and emergency contacts before testing proceeds.
• Ensure re-inspection and retesting follow the same safety-planning process as original testing, and that out-of-hours or weekend testing is GC-approved and never performed alone.

PPE, Fatigue & Fitness for Work

• Communicate and enforce minimum PPE requirements (head, eye, hi-vis, foot, hand, clothing) and task‑specific PPE per RAMS/JHA/SPA, SDS, equipment instructions, and permits.
• Apply fatigue‑management and fitness‑for‑duty controls: review extended/night/weekend hours for fatigue risk, prohibit lone working for out‑of‑hours work (buddy system required), and manage heat/cold‑stress controls.
• Escalate to the PM and Project Executive when schedule compression or recovery plans would require unsafe work hours or insufficient rest.
• Administer stop‑work authority — stop work, make the area safe, notify supervision, document the condition, correct the hazard, and resume only after controls are verified. Reinforce that every worker holds stop‑work authority.
• Lead immediate notification and response for injuries/first‑aid/recordables, near misses and high‑potential (HiPO) events, unsafe acts/conditions, and property‑damage/fire/environmental incidents; preserve scenes and support investigations as required.
• Drive corrective‑action plans: assign owners and due dates, verify closure, and elevate repeated or serious non‑conformances.

Records, Reporting & Compliance

• Maintain clean, accurate safety records: safety planning, JHAs/SPAs, inspections, permits, training, observation logs, incidents, corrective actions, and closeout safety deliverables.
• Compile and submit weekly safety reporting — peak headcount, man‑hours, recordable and first‑aid incidents, near misses, fire/environmental incidents, property damage, unsafe acts/conditions, orientations completed, permits issued, and safety standdowns.
• Verify subcontractor safety requirements are reviewed before mobilization and that subcontractors provide competent supervision, trained workers, PPE, daily reporting, JHAs/SPAs, and permit compliance.
• Ensure compliance with all applicable customer EH&S exhibits, GC site‑specific safety program rules, OSHA regulations, and Convergint EH&S policy.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of construction or field EH&S experience, including work involving electrical/energized systems, work at height, and MEWP operations.
• Demonstrated knowledge of LOTO/energy control, fall protection, MEWP/aerial‑lift safety, permit‑to‑work systems, and JHA/RAMS‑based planning.
• Experience integrating a subcontractor’s safety program into a general contractor’s control‑of‑work system on large commercial or industrial projects.
• Strong incident‑investigation, root‑cause, and corrective‑action skills.
• Proficiency with safety recordkeeping and reporting tools (e.g., SharePoint‑based logs and weekly reporting).
• Excellent communication skills and the presence to hold field leadership, subcontractors, and trades accountable to safety standards.
• Ability to work on‑site full‑time in Port Washington, Wisconsin, including occasional out‑of‑hours/weekend coverage.

Preferred Qualifications

• Data center, mission‑critical, or hyperscale construction experience.
• Experience with electronic security / low‑voltage (Division 28) or comparable trade scopes.
• Professional safety credential (CHST, CSP, ASP, or equivalent) and First Aid/CPR certification.
• Competent‑Person designations (fall protection, aerial lifts) and familiarity with Vision Zero programs.

Physical & Working Conditions

• Active data center construction environment; exposure to noise, dust, weather, temperature extremes, and multi‑trade work areas.
• Ability to access all work areas including elevated locations, ladders, lifts, and equipment/panel rooms; wear all required PPE for the duration of shifts.
• Ability to stand, walk, climb, and conduct field safety walks throughout the workday.
