Our crews work around energized equipment, in open trenches, and inside live traffic control zones. A hazard nobody flagged, a JHA that didn't match actual site conditions, a new hire who never got a real orientation — any one of those can change someone's life in a few seconds.
You'll spend most days on active jobsites, walking the work with foremen, catching risks while they're still small, and helping crews find a safer way to get the job done. You'll see the results directly: audits that come back clean, and crews who bring you a concern before it becomes an incident.
What You'll Do
- Audit active jobsites identifying hazards and working with project leadership on corrective actions and compliance.
- Deliver new hire orientations, toolbox talks, and safety stand-downs, and keep training and certification records current.
- Investigate incidents and near misses, root cause analysis, and coordinate.
- Support and audit the company's IIPP, maintain compliance with OSHA, DOT, EPA, and client-specific requirements, and recommend policy updates as regulations and field conditions change.
- Advise Project Managers and Foremen on complex safety issues.
- Participate in pre-construction planning and site mobilizations, and represent the Safety Department with clients, auditors, and regulatory agencies.
What You Need
- 3+ years of safety experience in construction, utilities, or heavy civil.
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health, or a related field. Equivalent construction safety experience will be considered in place of a degree.
- Working knowledge of OSHA, excavation standards, and job hazard analysis.
- Ability to deliver safety training, toolbox talks, and incident interviews in both English and Spanish. A substantial portion of our field workforce is Spanish-speaking; safety instruction and incident investigation must be conducted effectively in both languages.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort learning new compliance or safety platforms.
- Valid driver's license: you'll travel between multiple active jobsites daily and respond to incidents on short notice.
- Current First Aid and CPR certification, or ability to obtain before start date.
- OSHA 30 (Construction).
- Current trainer certification in core construction discipline — for example fall protection, aerial or bucket lift, confined space entry, or trench and excavation safety.
Nice to have:
OSHA 500 and OSHA 510 (authorized construction outreach trainer). Experience in electrical, utility, or transportation infrastructure work
