• Conduct and/or participate in safety meetings, toolbox talks, orientations, and pre-task planning.
• Review Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs), and other site-specific safety documentation.
• Document observations, incidents, corrective actions, and safety-related field activities.
• Work directly with contractors and field personnel to address safety concerns before they become incidents.
• Assist with incident investigations and follow-up corrective actions when necessary.
• Coordinate closely with project management, airport representatives, contractors, and the Senior Safety Manager.
• Help maintain a proactive safety culture within a complex, occupied, and highly regulated airport environment.

• Ability to communicate effectively with craft personnel, superintendents, project managers, contractors, and client representatives.
• Strong field presence with the ability to identify hazards and professionally address safety concerns.
• Ability to work night shift through the remainder of 2026 and transition to day shift in 2027.

Preferred Qualifications

• CHST (Construction Health and Safety Technician)
• CSP (Certified Safety Professional)
• Additional BCSP certifications or safety credentials
• Experience supporting mechanical construction within active airport facilities
