Job description

At Choate Construction, we’re not just building structures, we’re building careers, relationships, and stronger communities. As one of the Southeast’s top general contractors, our teams are dedicated to delivering nationally recognized commercial construction services with offices in Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Nashville, Raleigh, Savannah, and Tampa.

We’re looking for a Safety Manager to join our Charleston team. If you want to join a company that positively impacts communities and supports your career growth, Choate is the place for you.

Why Choate?

At Choate, safety is more than a requirement, it’s a mindset. Our Safety team is driven by the shared mission of ensuring everyone goes home safely every day. This monumental, humbling responsibility is captured in the name of our safety identity, “OneLife,” serving as a rallying cry for a culture of safety that goes beyond just compliance, focusing on protecting the one life and legacy we are all given.

Each Safety Manager has access to cutting‑edge technology like drones, thermal imaging cameras and heat stress wearables, as well as continued education through Subject Matter Expert training on topics that align with our unique risk potential. Here, safety isn’t just a box to check, it’s a top‑down value, recognized at the highest levels. Just ask our CEO, who was featured in the February edition of Safety+Health Magazine as a “CEO Who Gets It.”

What You’ll Do:

As a Safety Manager, you take the lead in creating and maintaining a culture of safety on your assigned project. You’ll:

Guide teams, including trade partners, on best safety practices.
Develop and implement site‑specific safety training for all workers.
Conduct and document weekly safety inspections.
Play a key role in ensuring everyone onsite understands and prioritizes safety.

The ultimate goal is to inspire a culture of safety that prioritizes each worker’s safe return home each day.

What You’ll Bring:

Four (4)-year safety/health related degree and minimum five (5) years of related experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Strong working knowledge of federal and state OSHA regulations.
Excellent communication and leadership skills.
Previous experience in direct supervision of health and safety issues along with administration of programs such as Safety Training, Risk Analysis, Incident Investigations, Incident Loss Analysis, and OSHA related issues, including but not limited to inspections.
