Job description

Safety Manager – Power | The Boldt Company – National Power & Industrial
Location: National | 100% project-based travel

At Boldt, we build more than complex projects—we build strong relationships, great teams, and lasting impact.

As a Safety Manager with Boldt’s National Power & Industrial team, you’ll help build complex power projects where safety, quality, and execution move forward together. Working alongside engineering, construction, and commissioning teams from early planning through final turnover, you’ll identify risks early, shape practical strategies, and help teams solve challenges before they become problems. You won’t simply enforce standards—you’ll be a trusted advisor who strengthens collaboration and keeps great work moving safely.

You’ll bring a visible, relationship-driven presence to major project sites, partnering with craft professionals, project leaders, and trade partners to create an environment where everyone is empowered to speak up, look out for one another, and take ownership of safety. Success is measured not only by strong compliance and performance results, but also by the trust, credibility, and shared accountability you build across the jobsite. If you’re ready to travel nationally, lead through influence, and help exceptional teams deliver power projects that matter—while ensuring everyone returns home safely each day.
