We are seeking an experienced and highly professional Safety Manager to provide on-site safety leadership for a complex energy generation project in Kuna, Idaho.

This role will support high-risk construction activities involving medium-voltage electrical systems, trenching and excavation, crane and rigging operations, heavy equipment, forklift material handling, and complex equipment installations.

The selected professional will serve as a trusted safety resource to project leadership, field supervision, subcontractors, and craft personnel. This position requires strong technical knowledge, sound judgment, polished communication, and the confidence to address unsafe conditions while maintaining productive working relationships across the project.

• Contractor Rate: $50-$54 per hour
• Per Diem: $150
• Pay Frequency: Weekly
• Overtime: Significant overtime expected

• Hours: 60+ hours per week
• Schedule: Five to six days per week
• Shift Length: Approximately 12 hours per day
• Shift: First shift

Candidates must be prepared to work an extended construction schedule in a fast-paced industrial environment.

The Safety Manager will maintain a visible and consistent field presence across multiple active work areas.

This professional will be responsible for identifying hazards before work begins, verifying that critical controls are in place, correcting deficiencies in real time, and ensuring that all construction activities comply with OSHA regulations, NFPA 70E requirements, client standards, and the project-specific safety program.

The role requires a safety leader who can move comfortably between field observations, contractor coordination, incident prevention, safety documentation, and project leadership meetings.

• Provide daily, on-site safety leadership for all assigned construction activities
• Monitor medium-voltage electrical work and verify compliance with NFPA 70E requirements
• Evaluate trenching and excavation activities, including protective systems, access, egress, spoil placement, and competent-person requirements
• Oversee crane operations, rigging activities, critical lifts, and material-handling practices
• Monitor forklift, aerial lift, and heavy-equipment operations
• Conduct detailed jobsite inspections, safety audits, and hazard assessments
• Review job hazard analyses, pre-task plans, permits, and high-risk work documentation
• Lead toolbox talks, safety meetings, orientations, and corrective coaching
• Partner with field supervision to resolve safety concerns without unnecessarily disrupting production
• Investigate incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions
• Complete root-cause reviews and track corrective actions through closure
• Maintain accurate, organized, and client-ready safety records
• Identify recurring safety trends and recommend practical preventive measures
• Participate in project meetings and communicate safety performance to site leadership
• Hold employees and subcontractors accountable for compliance with established safety expectations

Applicants must have:

• OSHA 500 or OSHA 510
• NFPA 70E training or certification
• Current First Aid, CPR, and AED certification
• Minimum three years of construction safety experience
• Experience supporting electrical construction activities
• Experience overseeing trenching, excavation, heavy equipment, or crane and rigging operations
• Strong knowledge of OSHA construction standards
• Demonstrated ability to identify hazards and implement corrective actions
• Strong written documentation and reporting capabilities
• Professional communication skills and confidence working with project leadership
• Ability to work 60+ hours per week and five to six days per week

• Energy generation, power, industrial, or utility construction
• Medium-voltage electrical installations
• Lockout/tagout and electrical safe-work practices
• Excavation competent-person responsibilities
• Crane lift planning and rigging oversight
• Large crews, multiple subcontractors, and simultaneous work scopes
• Client-facing safety meetings and professional project reporting
• High-risk construction environments with demanding schedules

The strongest candidate will be:

• A confident and credible field safety leader
• Technically knowledgeable in electrical and heavy-construction safety
• Professional when communicating with executives, superintendents, and craft personnel
• Comfortable addressing unsafe behavior directly and respectfully
• Highly organized with strong attention to documentation
• Proactive rather than reactive
• Capable of balancing safety accountability with project productivity
• Able to remain composed and decisive in a fast-moving environment

This is not a desk-based compliance role. The successful candidate must be comfortable spending the majority of the workday in the field, engaging crews, evaluating changing conditions, and addressing risk in real time.

Qualified candidates should submit a current resume that clearly identifies:

• OSHA 500 or OSHA 510 completion
• Electrical and NFPA 70E experience
• Trenching, excavation, crane, rigging, or heavy-equipment safety experience
• Energy, utility, power, or industrial project experience
• Current residential location
• Earliest available start date

Candidates whose resumes demonstrate strong technical experience, professional communication, and consistent field leadership will receive priority consideration.
