Descrição da oferta de emprego

Safety Director | Brea, CA | $180K-$220K Base + Up to 20% Bonus + Vehicle | ESOP

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with one of the largest and most respected commercial specialty contractors in California to find their next Safety Director. With 500+ employees across three California offices and a steady pipeline of major commercial work, this is a company that takes safety seriously and wants a leader who will own it.

This is a true leadership seat. You’ll run a team of 10 safety professionals, report directly to executive leadership, and have real influence over how the company bids, contracts, and builds. If you’ve been the safety lead at a large GC or specialty contractor and want a role with more ownership, more visibility, and an ownership stake through an ESOP, this is worth a conversation.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of 10 Safety Managers across multiple active projects
• Get out in the field. Walk job sites, inspect work, and build trust with superintendents, foremen, and craft workers
• Review contracts and safety requirements before the company signs, flagging risk early
• Write clear, well-documented inspection reports, incident reports, and safety program updates
• Serve as the company’s lead on OSHA and Cal/OSHA matters, including Title 8 compliance, investigations, and hearings
• Oversee safety programs for high-risk work including scaffolding and fall protection
• Travel occasionally (a couple of days at a time) to projects in San Diego County and Northern California

What They’re Looking For

• Experienced safety leader with a background at a large GC or major specialty contractor (lateral moves strongly preferred)
• Experience on large commercial projects in the $30M to $100M range, with field crews of 300 to 1,000 people
• Background in healthcare, education, government, or data center projects is a big plus
• Hands-on Cal/OSHA experience: Title 8, OSHA investigations, Division of Industrial Relations matters, and OSHA hearings
• Certifications such as OSHA 500, OSHA 510, and CHST preferred
• Experience managing a team of safety professionals
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Bilingual in English and Spanish strongly preferred
• Confident, assertive, and comfortable in the field. You’re the kind of leader who can hold a hard line on safety and still earn the respect of the crews

Compensation and Benefits

• $180K to $220K base salary
• Annual discretionary bonus up to 20%
• $815/month car allowance OR company truck plus gas card
• 100% company-paid premiums on benefits
• ESOP (employee ownership)
• 401(k)
• Stable company with a strong backlog of commercial work across California

Why This Role

Plenty of safety jobs keep you buried in paperwork. This one puts you in the field, at the contract table, and in front of leadership. You’ll have a real team, real authority, and a compensation package that reflects it, plus a piece of the company through the ESOP.
