• 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.

• Electrical, MEP, data center, healthcare, industrial, or mission-critical construction experience highly desirable.
• 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.
