Overview

Job Title: Field Safety Specialist

Industry: Data Center / Mission Critical Construction

Responsible for supporting daily field safety operations on an active data center construction site, ensuring compliance with OSHA regulations, site-specific safety standards, and company policies.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct daily jobsite safety inspections and identify potential hazards.
• Monitor compliance with OSHA regulations, PPE requirements, and site safety procedures.
• Review Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), pre-task plans, and safety documentation.
• Participate in toolbox talks, safety meetings, and worker orientations.
• Support incident and near-miss investigations and corrective actions.
• Coordinate with construction managers, subcontractors, and field personnel to promote safe work practices.
• Maintain safety inspection reports, incident records, and compliance documentation.

Required Experience

• Construction safety experience
• Working knowledge of OSHA standards
• Experience conducting field inspections and hazard assessments.

Preferred

• Data center or mission-critical construction experience; OSHA 30; First Aid/CPR; CHST or similar safety certification.

Driver’s License Requirement

For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment

This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

PhysicalRequirements

• Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
• Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
• Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
• Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
• Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
• Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment:

Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

Benefits

• competitive salary
• health insurance
• dental insurance
• vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• paid time off
• relocation assistance
