Job description

Pay: $35.00 – $45.00/hour

LINX is hiring a Safety Coordinator to maintain a daily on-site safety presence across active hyperscale data center construction projects nationwide, paying $35.00 to $45.00 an hour.

You’ll be the safety authority on the ground: writing Job Hazard Analyses and Pre-Task Safety Analyses, running site inspections, investigating incidents, and training crews on the standards that keep a live construction site compliant. You report to the Safety Manager and work directly with Project Managers and crews to keep safety built into daily operations, not bolted on after the fact.

Where This Role Fits at LINX

Safety Coordinator → Safety Manager → Director of Safety.

Safety Coordinators who build a strong compliance record and demonstrate team leadership are the direct pipeline into Safety Manager roles as LINX's hyperscale project volume grows.

What You'll Be Doing

Safety Program Management

• Implement and maintain safety policies, procedures, and programs specific to data center construction
• Create and manage Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and Pre-Task Safety Analyses (PTSA) for active work scopes
• Maintain a daily on-site presence during normal construction hours

Compliance & Inspection

• Ensure adherence to OSHA and local safety regulations, and conduct regular job site inspections
• Monitor proper PPE usage and ensure safety equipment is maintained and available

Incident Response

• Investigate accidents, near-misses, and hazards, and recommend corrective actions
• Serve as the primary safety contact on site, reporting incidents and maintaining documentation

Training & Collaboration

• Provide safety training and ensure workers meet required certifications before starting work
• Work directly with Project Managers and crews to integrate safety into daily operations

Minimum Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant safety experience in construction
• OSHA 30 certification
• Ability to proficiently develop a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Pre-Task Safety Analysis (PTSA)
• Proven experience in on-the-job safety adherence and regulatory compliance
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Highly structured with strong attention to detail
• Valid driver's license, auto insurance, and ability to pass a background check and drug screen

This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If

• You've never written a JHA or PTSA, or run a site safety inspection yourself, this isn't an entry point into construction safety

Preferred (Not Required)

• Bachelor's degree in Safety , Occupational Health, Construction Management, or a related field
• OSHA 510 or OSHA 500
• STSC (Safety Trained Supervisor for Construction) and/or CHST (Construction Health and Safety Technician)
• NFPA 70E
• Fall Protection Competency
• Confined Space Competency
• Bilingual, English and Spanish
• Experience in active data center operations
• Practical experience in network cabling, termination, and closet builds
• Ability to read construction drawings and implement cabling pathways

Compensation & Benefits

Pay Rate: $35.00 to $45.00/hour, depending on experience

Benefits

• 401(k) with 50% employer match on the first 5% contributed
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and HSA options
• 8 paid holidays
• 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
• Career growth opportunities, including a defined path to Safety Manager
