Job description

GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard together form a leading infrastructure solutions platform dedicated to protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure across North America and New Zealand.

GSI is the premier geohazard mitigation firm specializing in emergency slope stabilization, landslide repair, grouting, and micropiles through innovative design‑build delivery.

Access Limited brings over a century of steep‑slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments.

RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry‑leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services.

Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience.

At GeoStabilization International (GSI), safety is not a checklist—it is a leadership behavior and a strategic differentiator.

As a Safety Technician III, you will play a mission‑critical role in embedding a culture of operational discipline, ownership, and high‑performance execution.

This role is not just about compliance; it is about enabling our crews to deliver elite results in high‑risk, high‑complexity environments—safely, repeatedly, and at scale.

We are looking for a safety partner who brings more than technical knowledge; we need a relationship‑builder who can adapt standards to the unique demands of geohazard mitigation and foster a deep‑rooted safety culture across the Western US.

This role will be based out of Erie, Colorado and will require travel 50% of the time.

Responsibilities

• Operational Partnership: Collaborate with field operations to proactively identify and mitigate risks on complex, high‑exposure job sites.
• Culture & Coaching: Lead field‑level training and "in‑the‑trenches" coaching tailored to specific terrain, project exposure, and team maturity.
• Incident Investigation: Conduct rigorous root‑cause analyses of safety incidents; drive organizational learning and policy adjustments based on real‑world field input.
• Strategic Interface: Serve as the bridge between field crews, safety leadership, and clients to ensure standards are upheld and safety solutions are adopted.
• Training & Mentorship: Facilitate formal crew‑level training, work toward becoming a certified OSHA Trainer, and present at internal company‑wide meetings.
• Project Oversight: Own regional project scheduling and contribute to the development of Health and Safety Plans (HASP) and project startup protocols.
• Compliance Expertise: Build subject matter expertise in Worker’s Compensation, Owner‑specific compliance, and CPR/First Aid (Instructor‑level).

Qualifications

• Experience: 4+ years of dedicated safety experience, specifically within construction or heavy industrial sectors.
• Standards Knowledge: Working knowledge of OSHA, MSHA, or relevant industrial safety and operational standards.
• Technical Proficiency: Proficient in Microsoft Office, SmartSheet, and Box; comfortable navigating digital reporting tools.
• Licensing: Valid Driver’s License required.
• Certifications: CHST, ASP, or CSP preferred (or a clear path/commitment to obtain these within 12 months).

Top 10% Candidate Signals

• You have built or rebuilt safety programs that resulted in measurable incident reduction.
• You have thrived in military, industrial, or remote construction settings with a zero‑margin‑for‑error environment.
• You are a CPR/First Aid instructor or a seasoned safety trainer with a track record of influencing behavior.
• You have a history of turning low‑performing sites into high‑compliance, elite environments.

Physical & Travel Requirements

• Field-First Mindset: This is a field‑based role; you will spend significantly more time with crews than behind a desk.
• Travel: Ability to travel 50% or more, including occasional short‑notice deployments.
• Physicality: Capable of lifting 60 lbs and traversing active, rugged job sites in all weather conditions.
