- Coordinate with general contractor and owner safety representatives.
- Lead incident, injury, and near‑miss investigations and develop corrective actions.
- Conduct employee safety orientations, toolbox talks, and ongoing safety training.
- Maintain OSHA logs and required safety records.
- Monitor PPE, fall protection, ladder, lift, electrical, excavation, and other construction safety requirements.
- Assist project teams with planning high‑risk activities before work begins.
- Track safety performance and communicate trends, concerns, and corrective actions to company leadership.
- Visit multiple active projects and maintain a strong field presence.
- Promote a proactive safety culture focused on accountability, planning, and incident prevention.

- Experience working with large general contractors and project‑specific safety programs.
- Strong knowledge of OSHA construction standards.
- OSHA 30 required or ability to obtain immediately.
- CHST, CSP, STSC, or similar safety certification preferred but not required.
- Experience with incident investigations, safety audits, employee training, and corrective‑action programs.
- Strong communication skills with field employees, supervisors, customers, and senior management.
- Strong organizational and documentation skills.
- Must be comfortable spending significant time in the field and traveling between project locations.
- Valid, unrestricted state‑issued driver's license required.
