Regional Safety & Training Coordinator: Coach Safety, Build Trust

Austin, TX (Regional Travel Role) | Full-Time | 85% Travel with Overnight Stays

Some safety programs run on fear. Ours runs on trust. If you'd rather earn a crew's respect than hand out write-ups, keep reading.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas and Florida's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As our Regional Safety & Training Coordinator, you're the road warrior who keeps every office, every jobsite, and every crew running safely — from residential rooftops to commercial installs. You'll set the standard by showing up, not by cracking down: leading JSAs and safety meetings, coaching crews through real conversations, and making sure the right equipment, training, and habits are in place before something goes wrong, not after.

Your Day-to-Day

• Set the standard and lead by example — a trusted partner on-site, not an enforcer.
• Serve as the safety and training subject matter expert for operational leadership.
• Develop and maintain safety policies and programs that keep us compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Build and run safety training, including OSHA-mandated courses, and manage employee compliance.

• Conduct job site observations and turn what you find into real, lasting changes.
• Coach and mentor through tough conversations when safety issues need to be corrected.
• Help build high-risk task Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents.
• Lead near-miss and incident investigations — data, interviews, findings, and follow-through.
• Provide emergency care evaluation and first aid when needed and manage return-to-work and restricted-duty cases.
• Own the safety equipment program — evaluation, recommendations, inventory, and issuance.
• Keep operational and safety leaders in the loop with daily communication.
• Lead fleet and driver safety efforts to reduce collisions and strengthen driver training.

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of field safety experience — solar, electrical, or roofing background preferred
• Hands-on trade experience in electrical, roofing, solar, or HVAC is highly valued
• OSHA 500 and OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification (required)
• NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety in the Workplace) training certificate
• Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety preferred
• Valid driver's license with a clean, insurable motor vehicle record
• Willingness to travel 85% of the time, including overnight stays
• Expert knowledge of residential roofing, fall protection, ladder safety, and electrical safety
• Familiarity with aerial work platforms (boom/scissor lifts) and rigging
• Experience teaching First Aid/CPR, Defensive Driving, Fall Protection, or similar courses
• Comfortable with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook)

The Physical Side

• Able to conduct inspections and carry inspection equipment
• Comfortable with long stretches at a desk or in a vehicle, as well as climbing ladders to inspect roofs
• Able to lift up to 25 lbs
• Able to work in 100+ degree weather
• Comfortable bending, stretching, squatting, and lifting
• Comfortable with heights, roofs, and ladders

What's In It For You

• 100% Company-Sponsored Short-Term Disability
• 401(k) Employer Matching
• Weekly Pay Dates\
• 3 Weeks PTO + 3 Sick Days
