• Coordinate supplemental inspections whenever new processes, equipment, or substances are introduced or new or previously unrecognized hazards are identified.
• Help complete project safety preplans and hazard analysis with managers, supervisors, and foremen for new jobs.
• Verify that corrective measures are completed in a timely fashion for any hazards identified.
• Assist in investigating injuries and illnesses to determine cause and take action to prevent recurrence.
• Ensure compliance with the Hazards Communication Program, Emergency Action Plan, Fire Prevention Plan, Confined Space Entry Program, Trenching and Excavation Program, and any other programs required by OSHA and the Corporate Safety, Health and Environment Department.
• Submit weekly status reports to the Group Safety Manager and RSM specifying projects completed during the week.
• Ensure that adequate First Aid supplies and fire extinguishers are maintained on company vehicles and in local office facilities.

• Strong organizational and time management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Good attention to detail, with the ability to recognize discrepancies.
• Strong work ethic—willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
• The ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Must have a working knowledge of computers and experience in Microsoft Office Suite 2010 (i.e., Microsoft Word, Power Point, and Excel).
