Job description


Traveling Safety Coordinator- Reich Installation Services, Inc.

Reich Installation Services, Inc. is seeking a Traveling Safety Coordinator to support our rack installation teams on active job sites. This position is onsite and project-based, meaning the Safety Coordinator will be assigned to a job site for the duration of the project and must be comfortable living where the work is located. This role is ideal for a hands-on safety leader who enjoys working directly with crews, solving problems in real time, and teaching safety in the field.

Position Overview

The Traveling Safety Coordinator will be embedded with RIS installation teams at assigned job sites, working alongside crews daily to promote and maintain a strong safety culture. This is not a remote or office-based role. The ideal candidate leads by example, collaborates closely with project leadership and customers, and is passionate about practical, solutions-focused safety.

Key Responsibilities

  • Be onsite full-time at assigned job sites for the duration of each project

  • Live where the work is located and relocate as projects change

  • Actively participate in daily field operations while overseeing safety practices

  • Lead, promote, and model a proactive, team-focused safety culture

  • Conduct safety orientations, toolbox talks, and job-specific safety training

  • Conduct power equipment training for all new employees

  • Teach, coach, and mentor employees on safe work practices and hazard recognition

  • Complete and maintain JSAs and JHAs (Job Safety Analysis / Job Hazard Analysis)

  • Perform daily job site safety audits to ensure customer and regulatory compliance- Examples include LO/TO compliance, live work permits, hot work permits, etc.

  • Partner with the Project Leader to ensure work areas are safe for employees and customers

  • Serve as the go-to safety resource when questions arise in the field- Example: determining when to use yellow caution tape vs. red tape to barricade areas

  • Inspect all tools and equipment used by RIS employees to ensure proper functionality

  • Submit daily inspection and safety documentation

  • Communicate hazards, concerns, and corrective actions to the Director of Safety, Project Managers, and Customers

  • Assist with incident investigations and follow-up corrective actions

  • Be part of the solution — proactively help resolve safety issues, not just identify problems

Preferred Qualifications

  • OSHA 30 Certification (required or strongly preferred)

  • Train-the-Trainer certification

  • Rigging training or certification

  • Rescue from Heights training or certification

  • Experience in construction, rack installation, or a similar industrial environment

  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) preferred, but not required

  • Strong leadership skills with a hands-on, field-driven approach

Ideal Candidate

  • Comfortable traveling and living where projects are located

  • Willing to work alongside crews, not just observe

  • Confident teaching, coaching, and developing others in the field

  • Approachable, collaborative, and respected by both crews and customers

  • Adaptable and flexible with changing job sites, schedules, and work environments

Why You Should Apply

  • Full Time- Hours yet to be determined

  • Competitive hourly pay plus per diem

  • 401K Contribution

  • Health, Vision, Dental Insurance (Upon Eligibility)
