Job description

Immediate Opportunity | Full-Time | Field-Based | Boyce, Louisiana

Are you an experienced safety professional who thrives in the field, builds strong relationships, and knows how to turn safety expectations into safe behaviors?

Velocity Safety Advisors is seeking a Safety Coordinator to provide hands‑on safety leadership, consulting, training, and compliance support to clients and project teams throughout the Boyce, Louisiana market.

This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional safety inspection and compliance work. Our coordinators serve as trusted advisors, problem‑solvers, educators, and field leaders, helping clients identify risk, strengthen safety programs, improve performance, and create safer workplaces.

What You'll Do

• Provide hands‑on safety coordination and field support to clients, managers, supervisors, and field personnel.
• Conduct safety audits, inspections, behavioral observations, and risk assessments.
• Identify hazards and develop practical corrective and preventative actions.
• Assist with JHAs, JSAs, site‑specific safety plans, and emergency response planning.
• Lead safety meetings, toolbox talks, orientations, Safety Stand Downs, and employee training.
• Assist with injury, illness, near‑miss, property damage, and general liability investigations.
• Monitor compliance with OSHA, DOT, EPA, federal, state, local, and client‑specific requirements.
• Communicate regulatory and company requirement changes to field and management teams.
• Coordinate safety requirements with subcontractors, vendors, and third‑party personnel.
• Develop professional safety reports, correspondence, recommendations, and corrective‑action documentation.
• Build strong client relationships while providing objective, practical, and solutions‑focused safety guidance.
• Help clients develop proactive strategies to reduce incidents and continuously improve safety performance.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum of 5 years of construction safety industry experience required, with demonstrated field‑based experience supporting construction projects and high‑hazard work environments.
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA and applicable safety regulations.
• Excellent communication, presentation, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to independently assess risk, prioritize responsibilities, and make sound safety decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to positively influence supervisors, managers, and field personnel.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and electronic safety management systems is preferred.
• Ability to apply at least five years of construction safety experience to field coordination, hazard recognition, corrective actions, and project‑team support.

Required and Preferred Credentials

• Required: Current CHST credential or completion of OSHA 510
• CPR/First Aid/AED Certification
• Additional safety, environmental, or industry certifications considered a plus

The Right Candidate

We're looking for more than a clipboard inspector.

The ideal candidate is a field leader and trusted advisor who can identify a problem, explain why it matters, and help develop a solution that works in the real world.

You should be comfortable engaging employees, coaching behaviors, challenging unsafe practices, working alongside project leadership, and representing Velocity Safety Advisors and our clients with professionalism and integrity.

We value safety professionals who lead through influence, build trust, communicate effectively, solve problems, and understand the realities of field operations.

Most importantly, you understand that compliance is the foundation—not the finish line.

Employment Requirements

Candidates must be willing to successfully complete applicable:

• Background check
• Certification and qualification verification
• Valid driver's license and satisfactory driving record
• Client‑specific onboarding requirements

This is a field‑based position supporting projects throughout Boyce, Louisiana and may require 50+ hours per week, including nights and weekends, depending on project requirements.

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you're ready to put your knowledge, experience, and leadership to work helping organizations build safer, stronger workplaces, we want to hear from you.

At Velocity Safety Advisors, our coordinators don't simply identify problems—they help clients solve them.
