You'll provide safety oversight across multiple job sites, build strong relationships with field teams and operational leaders, and help ensure our employees have the tools, training, and support they need to work safely.

This role does not have direct reports. Instead, you'll take ownership of safety across an assigned geographic region, supporting approximately 200 field employees and maintaining a consistent presence across project sites. We're particularly interested in candidates with experience in utilities, electric transmission and distribution, generation, construction, infrastructure, or other field-intensive industries.

• Provide safety oversight and support for field employees across an assigned geographic region.
• Regularly visit project sites and field crews to maintain a strong, visible safety presence.
• Conduct safety audits involving personnel, equipment, job-site conditions, and work practices.
• Review safe work plans and help identify and mitigate potential hazards.

• Complete required field documentation, including Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Safe Work Permits, and related safety documentation.
• Promote consistent use of Atwell's safety tools, systems, policies, and processes.

• A bachelor's degree in Safety, Occupational Safety & Health, Environmental Health & Safety, or a related discipline is preferred.
• Experience supporting safety across multiple active job sites.
• Experience with a combination of job-site safety audits, employee training, incident investigations, hazard identification, or field safety programs.

• Ability to safely navigate active construction and industrial environments, including uneven terrain and varying outdoor conditions.
